The PLG Designer role at Chameleon
The software world is rapidly transitioning to self-serve and product-led models. More users are evaluating tools by trying them, without talking to humans, so companies need a way to onboard, activate, nudge, guide users in-product quickly and intelligently.
Chameleon helps customers create personalized, dynamic experiences (e.g. modals, slideouts, banners, tooltips, checklists etc.) that sit over and within their web applications, without needing engineering to build these patterns in-house.
A crucial component to get success with these in-app experiences is good design (visuals, copy, interactions etc.) If we can help customers improve their designs then they’ll generate better results and be happier with Chameleon.
We also want to better learn what’s preventing customers more easily succeeding on their own; how we could productize good design by default, and where we should focus our product energy.
That’s where our PLG Designer comes in!
What your day might include
Help prospects evaluating Chameleon set up their styles and templates to create beautiful looking in-product experiences from the beginning
Offer advice and best practices to new customers onboarding with Chameleon, including giving them ideas for experiments or feedback on their creations

Support creation of visual assets (external/internal) needed to showcase Chameleon to prospects and customers
Be involved in product design reviews with the product team
Participate in all internal Customer Success meetings (you will formally be a part of this team, although you will also work closely with the product team)
Skills and experience that will aid success in this role
3+ years in a product design role, ideally including work on growth experiments
1+ years working at a startup (<50 employees)
Very familiar with SaaS UI patterns and the PLG motion
Proficient in CSS (or willing to become quickly)
Interest in user research theory and practice
Enjoys helping people; extroverted and comfortable initiating outreach to people

Key milestones
Read this document and determine if this could be a good fit for you
Application (~15 mins; form here) This application won't be like the rest - it won't be boring or robotic. It will give you the opportunity to showcase your skills in a way that goes beyond submitting your resume. Plus, it'll help us get back to you quickly if we decide to move forward!
First interview (30 mins) We’ll begin to get to know each other and give you space to ask questions you have. The goal is to assess work style dynamics and communication.
Design activity (~1 hr async) We will collaborate on a well-scoped task that resembles the actual work you’re likely to do at Chameleon, incl. using common tools (e.g. Figma, Docs). This should give you a much better sense of the role and working with us, and vice-versa.
Second Interview (45 mins) If your work product stood out, we’ll spend time debriefing and discussing it live, and have more conversation for us to mutually assess fit.
Offer We'll give you a call to provide you details of your offer and hopefully agree on your start date!
Timeline
We expect to reply to you within ~1 week of you submitting the application form IF we are interested in setting up a call.
From the short chat to the offer should take ~3 weeks. If we do not move forward with you in any of the stages past the application, you can expect a response with some feedback.
Once we agree on the offer, we hope you can begin as soon as possible!
It's important for us to learn from our mistakes and to uncover our blind spots. If you found anything in this application process unclear, inaccurate, misleading, inappropriate, or if you have suggestions for improvements then please let us know! Email us at [email protected]
