Job description

Momentum is not a place for narrow specialists. We are a true product design group , and our designers are encouraged to engage across the process—from research and insight gathering, to shaping experience strategies, contributing to client workshops, designing UX / UI systems, and exploring how AI-driven thinking can enhance product and service ecosystems.

As a Product Designer , you will contribute to shaping outcomes at the intersection of business needs, service design, and digital product experience . This role calls for strong craft, curiosity, and collaboration—bringing thoughtful design execution while developing the ability to connect design decisions to broader business and user goals. You’ll work closely with teammates and clients, gaining exposure to the full design process and building the confidence to navigate complexity with support and mentorship.

We are a global company , with clients and team members distributed across time zones, so flexibility in how and when you collaborate is essential for our integrated approach to succeed. This position can be hybrid or remote , but candidates must be available during working hours aligned with our Palo Alto, California office (PST time zone) . Full-time work from the Palo Alto office is also an option. We welcome both full-time employees and contractors, and qualified international candidates within reasonable time zones are encouraged to apply.

Please provide a link to your portfolio in your resume or in your work experiences, including the password if applicable. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.

About us :

Momentum helps global brands, fast-moving startups, and category leaders solve high-impact business challenges through product and service design .

Our work extends beyond digital interfaces. We design multi-channel, multi-touch experiences that integrate brand, experience, and value across physical, digital, and human interactions.

We are collaborators first —partnering with clients in workshops, research, and prototyping to uncover opportunities, reduce risk, and drive innovation. Each engagement is unique, but all are grounded in the same belief : design should create clarity, confidence, and transformation.

What You'll Work On :

Designers at Momentum move across industries, problems, and horizons. As a Product Designer, you may help :

  • Shape the future of mobility , exploring how people, vehicles, and services connect in new ecosystems
  • Reimagine neurosurgical planning through 3D, VR, AR, and AI-powered tools that support both pre-operative planning and live surgical procedures
  • Architect end-to-end telecom service experiences across digital and physical touchpoints
  • Build intelligent digital agents to combat misinformation in global health
  • Visualize and model strategies for billion-dollar venture portfolios , with AI-augmented insights
  • Design multi-channel healthcare journeys for patients, providers, and caregivers—personalized through AI orchestration and automation
  • Shape carbon-positive experiences through climate and sustainability platforms
  • Explore the frontier of AI-powered experiences —from automation to augmentation and beyond

Requirements

Whom we’re looking for :

  • You have 1 to 4+ years of applicable design experience
  • You must have excellent written and spoken English skills; this is 100% an English position
  • You are an actual digital product designer e.g. you move pixels around with precision and have a portfolio that demonstrates it (no offense to you user researchers, we value you too just not for this role)
  • You enjoy learning about new industries and are a quick study
  • You are looking for opportunities to help brands define their character
  • You are a solid visual and interaction designer with the appetite to learn or improve your skills for translating user research insights into actionable strategy
  • You enjoy creating modular, scalable wireframes and mockups that creatively apply consistent interface patterns across a variety of use cases and device types
  • You can design using Sketch or Figma and can adapt to new tools as they become available
  • You know transactional data and what to do with it. You eat data visualization for lunch
  • You like reducing the friction between the end user and their goals by pushing the limits of artificial intelligence
  • You have a keen sense of motion design, 3D, and frontend technologies; or you want to learn
  • You love to combine empathy with design to create usable experiences
  • You are up for the challenge of charting new markets and inventing new industries
  • You come with experience but want to learn new methodologies; you can share and collaborate with others on UX / UI guidelines and design patterns
  • Your critical thinking skills are a strong attribute that helps you work through abstract and complex processes
  • You understand that working at an agency gives you a wide perspective of many industries, processes, budget constraints, timelines, and unique customer needs
  • You have an appetite for learning from your peers and sharing your knowledge
  • You can clearly express yourself and defend what you create, how it drives your process, and most importantly, why it is effective.
  • You enjoy working with others, collaborating with your team and customers, and understand that there is no I in Momentum.
  • Must be able to travel to customer or other work-related locations from time to time (less than 20%).
  • Additional Skills

  • Creating and conducting User / Customer / Stakeholder interviews, Solution Validation Interviews, and Usability Testing
  • Conducting current state assessments inclusive of heuristic evaluations and your expert analysis.
  • Review and parse user research findings
  • Understand, conceptualize, create and communicate user mental models, personas, user flow diagrams, journey maps, and other information architecture deliverables.
  • Benefits

    You get to shape the products of the future, your actionable insights drive key business decisions, and better product experiences globally for the millions, if not billions, that our work touches. Start-ups, scale-ups, unicorns, and $b companies all need your insights. No year is the same.

    The Perks

  • Core Contribution—Small team means big impact. Every team member’s contribution has a tremendous impact on the project and our clients
  • Autonomy—Our staff own their work, and you will have autonomy over how to get it done
  • Project Diversity—In a months span, you may work on the next mobile social network, internet of things product, ad platform, or financial services product
  • Occasional travel to clients from around the world, we often conduct our project kick-offs on-site.
  • Competitive salary & benefits!
