Senior Product Designer

Renew Home is turning everyday homes into a coordinated virtual power plant so millions of people can save money, keep the lights on, and accelerate a cleaner grid. As Senior Product Designer you will own the end-to-end experience that makes energy shifting feel effortless—translating complex grid signals into simple, trustworthy moments that people actually use. Your work directly determines whether households participate at scale and whether we deliver a more reliable, affordable energy future.

Performance Objectives

• Ship a redesigned onboarding and device-setup flow within 90 days that lifts first-week energy-shifting activation by 25% while cutting support tickets 30%.
• Prototype and validate 3 high-impact energy-saving journeys (peak-shift, bill-forecast, set-and-forget automation) that achieve 80% task-success in usability tests with real homeowners.
• Establish a living design system and component library that reduces engineering hand-off time 40% and keeps visual/interaction consistency across iOS, Android, and web.
• Partner with product and data science to instrument key moments so we can measure, iterate, and prove a 15% lift in monthly active shifting households within two quarters.
• Lead quarterly design reviews that surface customer insights and convert them into a prioritized roadmap of experiments that ship every sprint.
• Mentor two mid-level designers so they independently own features while you remain the quality bar for the entire product surface.

Environment & Resources

You report to the Head of Product and sit on a tight, cross-functional squad of PMs, engineers, and data scientists. You have full access to Figma, Mixpanel, Amplitude, and a dedicated user-research budget. The team is 51–200 people, hybrid in Oakland, and moving fast in an early-stage, mission-driven environment.

Essential Qualifications

• 5+ years designing consumer mobile and web products that have shipped and moved core metrics (activation, retention, or engagement).
• Proven track record turning complex, data-heavy domains (energy, finance, health, or IoT) into simple, delightful experiences.
• Expert in end-to-end product design: research, prototyping, visual systems, and close collaboration with engineering.
• Comfortable setting and defending a quality bar while shipping iteratively in a high-ambiguity, early-stage setting.
• Ability to translate user research and behavioral data into clear, measurable design hypotheses.

Role Selling Points

• Direct, measurable impact on the energy grid and household bills—your pixels help keep the lights on.
• Small, high-ownership team where design sits at the table from strategy through launch.
• Work on a category-defining product at the intersection of climate, consumer tech, and real-time systems.
• Competitive compensation, equity, and the chance to shape both the product and the design culture from the ground up.
