Senior Product Designer, Acquisition & Conversion

About the role

Tin Can is building a safer, simpler way for kids to connect - without smartphones. We're creating screen-free, delightful devices and services that let families call the people who matter most, free from the noise of today's digital world. We're building a bold, authentic, nostalgic, and kinda quirky brand that resonates with folks who want something simpler & better for their kids than the tech-infused lives we're currently living (and who have a sense of humor about it). The Senior Product Designer, Acquisition & Conversion will own the end-to-end visual design that turns curiosity into conviction for our growth funnels. You will be the visual voice of Tin Can, shaping how families experience our brand from first glance to final checkout. This role demands a rare blend of pixel-perfect craft and conversion intuition, where empathy for parents and kids drives every aesthetic decision. You will translate ambiguous business goals and customer insights into delightful, high-converting visual stories that feel unmistakably Tin Can.
