Senior Product Designer – Remote

Location: Fully Remote or Hybrid (Adelaide or Melbourne offices) Reports to: Head of Product & CX

At Sweat, we support all women looking to make positive change with fitness and healthy lifestyle experiences. We empower women with fitness and we move towards that vision guided by four principles: Move Forward, Move Fast, Move Strong, and Move As One.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to help shape the end-to-end experience of one of the world’s leading women’s fitness apps. You’ll work closely with product management, engineering, marketing, content, exercise science, and customer support to solve real problems for millions of women across iOS, Android, and web balancing bold new ideas with continuous, iterative improvement of the core experience.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll take the lead on design for high-impact projects, mentor other designers, and help set the bar for craft across the team including how we use AI and agentic design tools in our day-to-day practice. You’ll champion an AI-first, prototype-driven design approach that helps turn Sweat’s product and design vision into build-ready solutions, faster.

You’ll also directly manage a Product Designer on the team, covering their portfolio of work while they’re on maternity leave and planning a smooth handover for their return.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Flexibility that works for you — fully remote or hybrid, with the option to work from our Adelaide or Melbourne offices
• Room to lead — take ownership of high-impact projects, mentor a growing design team, and help shape how design operates at Sweat, not just execute within it
• A seat at the table — present directly to senior stakeholders and the CEO/founder, with design treated as a core driver of product strategy, not an afterthought
• Growth-minded culture — join a team that values curiosity, craft and continuous improvement
• Free access to the Sweat app — experience the product you’re building firsthand
• Paid maternity leave — genuine support for growing families
• An entrepreneurial workplace — autonomy to make decisions, try new things, and shape the way we work
