Product Design Consultant (Contract, 3–6 Months)

About Nanit: 

Nanit is moving families beyond overwhelm by transforming how parents understand their baby's early years. We combine advanced AI, real-world data from billions of sleep hours, and clinical expertise to deliver the clarity and confidence every parent deserves. Trusted by over one million families and backed by $125M in funding, we're building an entirely new category: predictive parenting intelligence.

Here, your work directly impacts millions of families. Our team of scientists, engineers, and parents is small but mighty - we share a mission to make early childhood easier, healthier, and more connected. If you want to work on technology that genuinely matters, join us.

About the Role:

We're looking for a senior Product Design Consultant to join the team on a contract basis, focusing on an exciting set of strategic projects that support parents and families. 

You'll take work from concept through polished, build-ready design. Software is the priority, though experience designing for connected/physical products is a strong plus–this work lives at the intersection of hardware and app. 

You'll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Clinical, and Marketing to bring something genuinely new to market on a tight timeline.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Design and ship specific product features and flows, from early concepts through detailed build-ready specs
• Produce high-craft interaction and visual design for mobile experiences on iOS and Android
• Work within Nanit's existing design system, using and extending established components and patterns
• Navigate connected product flows including device pairing and sync experiences
• Partner closely with engineers and PMs to refine designs and support implementation
• Communicate design decisions clearly and incorporate feedback to keep projects moving

Who You Are:

• 7+ years of product design experience with a strong portfolio of shipped consumer tech work
• Excellent hands-on craft in mobile design on iOS and Android, with sophisticated interaction and visual design skills
• Software-first designer with experience in connected or IoT products, consumer hardware, medical devices, or healthcare products considered a strong plus
• Comfortable working within an established design system rather than building one from scratch
• Highly proficient in Figma
• Self-directed and quick to ramp, able to pick up projects with minimal oversight and deliver on schedule
• Strong communicator who collaborates well with Product and Engineering partners
• Comfortable using AI tools to move faster and explore ideas
• Genuine interest in improving the lives of parents and babies through thoughtful design

Engagement Details:

• Contract, project-based engagement of 3-6 months
• Individual contributor, no direct reports, no team or strategy ownership
• Hybrid, 2 days per week in office down in Tribeca 
• Hourly rate: $130-$170, commensurate with experience
