🌍 About us

Ventora is an ambitious AI platform designed to turn ideas into working MVPs, validate them in real markets, launch payments, and test demand automatically.

The product democratizes access to AI-driven product creation, making advanced technology and entrepreneurship accessible to a much broader audience.

A core part of the platform is already built and in use, and we are now entering a phase of active growth and product development. We’re looking for a strong product designer who wants to work at the cutting edge of applied AI, influence the product experience directly, and help users move from raw ideas to real products, launches, marketing, and monetization.

This is a role for someone who wants to design not just screens, but product value.

🎯 Your Mission

As an AI-first Product Designer, you’ll help Ventora become a product where users clearly understand the value, trust AI-generated results, reach activation faster, and convert to payment more often.

You won’t just create beautiful layouts - you’ll:

• Design and validate UX hypotheses together with product and founders
• Use AI tools to prototype faster and explore more product solutions
• Improve onboarding, activation, paywall, and trust in AI-generated results
• Prepare clear, production-ready designs for development
• Protect user value across the full product journey

You are not expected to know everything upfront, but you are expected to think product-first, learn fast, use AI actively, and raise the bar for user experience.

🧩 What You’ll Work On

🔎 Product & UX Design

Design core user flows across Ventora’s product experience: idea input, onboarding, AI generation flow, paywall and upgrade moments etc.

You’ll work closely with the PM, engineering, and founders to turn product problems into clear UX solutions.

You’ll help answer questions like:

• Why does the user not understand the value?
• Where does the user lose trust? 
• Why does the user stop before payment?
• How can we make the AI result feel more useful and credible?
• What should the user do next after generation?
• How can we reduce friction without reducing perceived value?

🤖 AI-first Prototyping

Use AI tools daily to speed up design exploration, prototyping, and validation.

This may include:

• fast interactive prototypes
• AI-generated interface variations
• clickable flows
• landing/product experiments
• UX copy variations

Relevant tools may include Lovable, v0, Bolt, Cursor, Framer, Figma AI, Relume, Galileo, ChatGPT, Claude, and similar tools. The exact toolset is less important than the mindset: we want someone who can move from idea to prototype much faster than through classic manual design only.

🧠 Product Thinking

Understand why a feature is built, not just how it should look. You’ll work with product goals such as:

• increase conversion from registration to payment
• improve activation depth
• increase repeat sessions
• reduce friction in onboarding
• improve trust in AI-generated outputs
• increase perceived value before payment
• make users more likely to continue working on their project

You’ll be expected to challenge weak ideas, suggest alternatives, and help shape product decisions.

🧪 UX Research & Validation

Participate in validating UX decisions through lightweight research and data. You may help with:

• user interviews
• prototype tests
• usability tests
• session recording analysis
• funnel analysis
• competitor UX research

We don’t expect you to be a full-time UX researcher, but we do expect you to care whether the design actually works for real users.

🛠 Design Handoff & Product Delivery

Prepare clear, structured, production-ready designs for development.

This includes:

• clean Figma files
• components and variants
• key states: loading, empty, error, success, disabled, free/paid
• responsive behavior
• interaction logic
• edge cases
• comments and explanations

The goal is that developers should not have to guess the UX logic

 

🏆 What Success Looks Like

• Users understand Ventora’s value faster and with less explanation.
• The first product experience becomes clearer, more useful, and more motivating.
• AI-generated results feel more credible, structured, and actionable.
• Onboarding, activation, paywall, and payment conversion improve over time.
• UX hypotheses are tested faster through AI-first prototyping.
• Product decisions are based on user behavior, research, data, and strong UX reasoning — not just personal taste.
• Design handoff becomes cleaner, faster, and easier for engineering.
• The product starts to feel more polished, trustworthy, and valuable.
• Over time, you become a core partner for product and founders in shaping Ventora’s user experience.
