From Somethings's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Somethings is building the first social wellness platform for teens — a place where a teen can form a real relationship with a mentor who gets them, sticks with them, and helps them get better.
25 million teens in the U.S. are struggling with their mental health. Every one of the thousands of teens who downloads Somethings is struggling. Our job is to make sure they don't just show up — they stay, connect with real humans who care deeply about them, and get the support they need to thrive.
We're backed by General Catalyst and world-class healthcare + consumer investors, and we're growing like crazy — in 2025 we grew 1100%, raised our $15M Series A, and are on track to 5x in 2026.
If you want to be part of the generationally defining company in mental health, welcome home.
Role Overview
We're looking for a Head of Design to lead all design ownership at Somethings — from strategy and brand identity all the way through to implementation and craft.
This is the most senior design role at the company. You will report directly to the CEO and own design across every surface: our teen mobile experience, mentor web platform, clinical tooling, and brand.
You will define what Somethings looks and feels like — and then make it real.
For the first six months, this role is heavily IC — building the design system, setting the craft standard, and doing the foundational design work alongside the team. Over time, it shifts toward team leadership: hiring, coaching, and scaling a world-class design function of 3–5 designers.
This is not a "manage from above" leadership role. It is a player–coach at the highest level
— someone who can set the strategic direction and then sit down and build it.
💰 The annual salary range for this position is
$225,000–$250,000.
📈 Significant equity compensation, reflecting your foundational role and impact.
🏥 Comprehensive health insurance coverage.
🎯 Full ownership of design strategy, brand, and team building.
🎉 Unlimited days off.
Job level and actual compensation will be determined by factors including, but not limited to, individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process, market demands, and specific work location. The listed range is a guideline and may be modified.
