Location: Bandra West Setup: Work From Office

Company: India Running (Saransh Ventures Pvt. Ltd.)

Location: Mumbai

Experience: 7–10+ years, with prior experience leading design for a consumer mobile app

Reports to: Business Head

About the Role

India Running is looking for a Product Design Lead to own the end-to-end design experience of the India Running App — from onboarding and race discovery to training plans, community, and post-race engagement. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll set design direction, ship high-quality UI/UX yourself, and (as the team grows) mentor other designers.

What You'll Do

Own the product design vision and visual language for the India Running App across iOS and Android
Translate business and user goals (registrations, retention, engagement) into intuitive, delightful flows
Design and ship features end-to-end: wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity UI, and interaction design
Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to define roadmap and prioritize design work
Conduct/synthesize user research and usability testing with runners to inform design decisions
Build and maintain a scalable design system for consistency across the app and related touchpoints
Collaborate with the Marketing team on campaign creatives, emailers, and event-related design needs as required
Present design rationale and outcomes to leadership; use data to justify and iterate on design decisions

What We're Looking For

7–10+ years of product design experience, with at least 2–3 years in a lead or senior IC role on a consumer app
Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end mobile app design (case studies preferred over just visuals)
Proficiency in Figma; familiarity with prototyping and handoff tools
Experience designing for scale — apps with meaningful DAU/MAU, not just concept work
Strong understanding of iOS/Android design guidelines and responsive design principles
Ability to balance craft with speed in a startup environment
Bonus: passion for running/fitness, or experience designing for sports, fitness, or community-led apps

What We Offer

Ownership of a high-visibility consumer product in India's fastest-growing running community
Direct access to founders and cross-functional leadership
A fast-paced, builder-first culture
