What are the responsibilities and job description for the Designer (Generalist) position at Superpower?
đź’Ľ Type: Full-time
đź“Ť Location: SF Preferred. Remote (US) for rare exceptions
About Superpower
We’re on a mission is to build a new health care system that extends and enhances human life. Superpower will build a new health system that is preventative, personalized, and performance-enhancing — bringing the best of health into one place.
93% of our members say we're better than their doctor or life-changing and 60% discover something their doctor missed.
About The Role
This is the role for the designer who doesn't want to be boxed in. One day you're designing a product feature, the next a landing page, the next a social campaign or a print piece for an event. You'll move fluidly across brand, product, growth, and communications — wherever the highest-leverage design work is.
At Superpower, designers do work across many channels and departments. If you have exceptional taste, you shouldn’t be boxed into a channel. This role is about multiplying that capacity — bringing the same range, taste, and speed to a growing surface area of work.
We call this "founder mode" for design: you're in the weeds, you're shipping, and you're proactively finding the places that need the most help.

What You'll Do
- Design across product, brand, growth, and communications — wherever the biggest need is on any given week
- Create product UI, landing pages, email campaigns, ad creative, social content, presentations, and event materials
- Move between strategic thinking and pixel-level execution daily
- Proactively identify design gaps and fix them — no one needs to assign you work
- Collaborate with engineers, growth, clinical, and leadership directly
- Contribute to and extend the brand system and product design system
- Ship fast. We believe action produces information — your first version doesn't need to be perfect, it needs to exist
- Give and receive direct feedback. Radical candor is how we raise the bar together
- 3–6 years of experience across multiple design disciplines — you've done brand, digital, product, or some combination
- A portfolio that shows range: product screens, campaign work, web design, and maybe something unexpected
- Strong fundamentals: typography, layout, color, hierarchy, and interaction design
- Comfort with ambiguity and context-switching — you can reprioritize quickly without losing quality
- Speed and craft. You don't treat them as opposites
- Proficiency in Figma. Familiarity with prototyping, basic motion, or front-end code is a bonus
- Self-directed and proactive. You ask "how would I act if this were my company?" and then do it
- Genuine care about health, wellness, or human performance
- Front-end development skills (HTML/CSS, React, Webflow)
- Motion design or video editing skills
- Experience at an early-stage startup where you wore many hats
- Illustration, 3D, or photography skills
- Experience in health, wellness, or mission-driven companies
- Mission that matters: we catch diseases before they start and change people’s lives
- Radical empowerment: no layers of approval, no waiting for permission if you see a problem we reward people that solve them
- A-players only: small team of exceptional people who actually do the work
- Founder mode: everyone is an IC here, including leadership. We don't delegate, we build
- Competitive compensation with equity in a company at the frontier of health and AI
- Superpower your own health — we live the ethos
