Product Designer

About AM:PM

AM:PM is a VC-backed news platform built for short-form video, reels, and fast threads, for Gen Z and millennials who want to stay informed without sitting through long, slow panels. We go deep without going slow. We understand internet culture because we live in it.

Why this role matters

We’re not building another news app, we’re trying to revolutionise the form.

You’ll define what AM:PM *looks and feels like* across three product surfaces, and you’ll ship directly with the founding team and CTO.

What you will own

• End-to-end design of the AM:PM app across all three surfaces, wraps, newsroom, discourse
• Design the interaction (opinion / counter-opinion swap) so it feels native, not novel
• Build and maintain the AM:PM design system from the brand foundation up
• Use Claude, Figma, and AI tools to ship faster (startup speed, not agency speed)
• Run usability calls with real Gen Z users and incorporate what you learn
• Work directly with the founding team + CTO to ship what you design (no throw-overs)
• Experiment fast: kill what doesn’t work, double down on what does

Who you are

• 1+ years designing consumer mobile products that shipped to real Gen Z users
• Visual range (not one aesthetic across every project)
• Ships at startup pace (screens and flows move fast)
• High ownership default; doesn’t wait for a brief
• Strong opinions and taste; can defend them and change mind when wrong
• Lives in Figma; uses AI tools to move faster
• Comfortable with…
