Product Designer

This is a critical role that bridges all three of The Ken's foundational pillars – journalism, products, and subscriptions. The product designer will operate across the entire breadth of The Ken's offerings in order to create new subscriber products/experiences as well as strengthen existing ones. Since our inception in 2016, The Ken has invested disproportionate amounts of time, effort and money into building and improving products. We were the first in India to offer a subscription-only longform journalism. We were the first to launch premium subscriber-only newsletters. We were the first to launch premium, subscriber-only business podcasts. Our website and subscriber apps (for iOS, Android and iPad) have gone through multiple ambitious design evolutions. We pride ourselves on our subscriber-centric design thinking, UX and UI, visual design and typography. Put simply, great design is critical to The Ken. In our belief – and yes, we are biased – the next two years will be an incredible opportunity for a talented, ambitious and thoughtful designer. During these two years (and beyond, but that's a matter for later), the product designer will: (a) Help conceptualize, prototype, build and launch multiple new subscription products (b) Collaborate across our newsroom, product and business teams, gaining tremendous perspectives on how to think about building premium and high-quality business journalism products. (c) Design seamless user experiences that bridge textual, visual, audio, video and in-person offerings (d) Harness the experience and insights from our incredible subscriber community including tens of thousands of individual, hundreds of organizations and dozens of premier educational institutions, into our products

The Ken is a subscription-only digital publication focused on business and technology journalism. It was launched in 2016 and is based in Bengaluru, India.
