About The Position

Minno is seeking a Product Designer to lead the end-to-end product experience for children and families across its digital platforms. The role involves designing intuitive, joyful, and age-appropriate experiences that enable children to safely discover and engage with faith-based content, while also building trust with parents and caregivers. This position is ideal for a product designer with substantial experience in designing and shipping digital products specifically for children, understanding that child-facing UX requires careful consideration of navigation, cognitive load, safety, delight, accessibility, parent confidence, and engagement. The designer will collaborate with Product, Engineering, Content, Marketing, and Research teams to enhance core user journeys such as onboarding, content discovery, search, browse, playback, profiles, and parental controls. Key responsibilities include establishing Minno's product design system, improving design-to-engineering collaboration, and fostering a product design culture informed by insights from children and families. This is a hands-on role, requiring a blend of strong UX and product thinking with the ability to deliver polished work efficiently in partnership with Product and Engineering. The ultimate goal is to make Minno's digital products more cohesive, trustworthy, engaging, and mission-aligned, ensuring positive interactions for families and helping children experience Jesus daily.
