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
