About Ancestry:
When you join Ancestry, you join a human-centered company where every person’s story is important. Ancestry®, the global leader in family history, connects everyone with their past so they can discover, preserve, and share their unique family stories. With our unparalleled collection of more than 65 billion records, over 3.5 million subscribers, and over 27 million people in our growing DNA network, customers can discover their family story and gain a new level of understanding about their lives. Over the past 40 years, we’ve built trusted relationships with millions of people who have chosen us as the platform for discovering, preserving, and sharing the most important information about themselves and their families.
We are committed to our location flexible work approach, allowing you to choose to work in the nearest office, from your home, or a hybrid of both (subject to location restrictions and roles that are required to be in the office- see the full list of eligible US locations HERE). We will continue to hire and promote beyond the boundaries of our office locations, to enable broadened possibilities for employee diversity.
Together, we work every day to foster a work environment that's inclusive as well as diverse, and where our people can be themselves. Every idea and perspective is valued so that our products and services reflect the global and diverse clients we serve.
Ancestry encourages applications from minorities, women, the disabled, protected veterans and all other qualified applicants. Passionate about dedicating your work to enriching people’s lives? Join the curious.
We're looking for a Product Designer to join our Activate team — a group dedicated to helping new customers turn their initial curiosity into meaningful family history exploration. By helping people make sense of their family history and uncover meaningful connections, we empower millions of members to continue exploring the stories that shape who they are.
This role is focused on creating a best-in-class experience for our DNA customers. You’ll be driving multiple product experiences from DNA kit registration to our DNA traits offering, including exciting new technology and product advancements that make family history more accessible than ever before.
You’ll report to the Senior Manager of Product Design on the Activate team and collaborate closely with peers across product, design, science, engineering, research, content, and data analytics. Together, you'll create experiences that will help customers develop a greater sense of identity, belonging, and curiosity.
You’ll join a highly collaborative environment that values curiosity, clarity, and a deep commitment to customer understanding. We offer a flexible, hybrid culture with a strong focus on work/life balance — so you can grow your career while staying grounded in what matters most.
Bonus: Experience designing discovery, search, educational, AI-powered, or data-rich products, or familiarity with genealogy, DNA, health, science, or other evidence-based domains. Experience designing native mobile app experiences.
