Product Designer

<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">We build and fund fast growing ventures for safe access to psychedelics and progressive mental health care. Pink Elephant exists to build the companies that will steer the revolution in mental health. Global mental health is an urgent, under-addressed crisis: 1 in 8 people (≈970M) live with a mental disorder, and depression and anxiety alone cost ~$1T in lost productivity each year. Progressive therapies have been shown to be up to 10 times more effective than conventional treatments, yet only 5% of people can access them. We’re here to change that by staking capital on verifiable breakthroughs and assembling founders, clinicians, and operators to turn today’s uncommon sessions into tomorrow’s standard of care.</span></p> <p><br></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold">The role</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">We are looking for a designer who owns the full stack of how a product </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic">feels</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt"> - from first tap to long-term habit.
