Fort

Strength Tracking Wearable

Hiring — 5 openYC-W26Consumer -> Consumer ElectronicsEarly

What Fort does

Fort is a wearable that tracks strength training for people who care about longevity. Other wearables make you manually log every rep, set, and exercise, then provide unhelpful feedback or underestimate strength-related fatigue. We use heart rate and motion data to track your strength workouts for you, then provide thoughtful, actionable feedback that helps you achieve your goals.

About the role Fort is looking for a Community Manager to bring the brand to life through intimate, thoughtful real-world experiences. This role is for someone who understands the feeling of a great room: the right people, the right setting, the right energy, and the small details that make guests feel welcomed and cared for. You’ll create and host Fort experiences across fitness, wellness, strength, recovery, and product education. These may include training sessions, prototype feedback gatherings, coach salons, boutique gym events, creator workouts, recovery pop-ups, private dinners, or small community meetups. The goal is to make Fort feel real, desirable, and trusted, while turning each experience into meaningful relationships, customer insight, and beautiful content. The kind of person we’re looking for You have a natural sense for hosting. You know how to make people feel comfortable, included, and excited to be part of something early.

Plan simple content capture before each event: photos, short clips, guest quotes, founder content, testimonials, customer stories, and social moments. Notice the useful details: what people react to, what they ask about, what feels exciting, what feels confusing, and what language they use. Create post-event recaps with what happened, who attended, what we learned, what content was captured, and what relationships or opportunities to follow up on. What We’re Looking For Experience creating events, brand experiences, community gatherings, wellness pop-ups, boutique fitness events, run clubs, creator events, ambassador programs, or hospitality-driven moments.

What the role involves

About Fort Fort is a San Francisco-based wearables company. We are building a premium health tracking device for people who want to keep their bodies strong and capable for life. Fort helps people understand their training, recovery, and progress in a way that feels clear, useful, and motivating. We care about creating a product and brand that feel refined, human, and deeply useful: part health companion, part beautiful object, part new ritual for strength and longevity. About the role Fort is hiring a Founding Designer to define how Fort looks, feels, and communicates across product, brand, and growth. This person will shape the visual and product experience of a premium wearable for strength and health, focusing on the app with opportunities to oversee creative across other moments like product marketing, social, email, packaging, and community. You’ll be empowered with the best tools, a design-focused environment, and resources to work with or hire others into the design team at Fort. The design bar for Fort should feel like premium apparel, boutique wellness, and modern health brands, rather than traditional fitness tech. We are building something that feels beautiful enough to wear every day, useful enough to change behavior, and clear enough to understand within seconds. Why this role matters Fort needs to become instantly understandable and desirable. Strength is one of the most important parts of long-term health, but most fitness products still make it feel niche, manual, intimidating, or overly technical. Fort’s job is to make strength and recovery feel like a natural part of everyday health, and an inevitable part of an aspirational lifestyle. The right person will help make Fort feel premium, trustworthy, warm, and culturally relevant across every touchpoint: the app, the website, the product story, the social presence, the preorder funnel, the launch, and the way customers first experience the brand. What You’ll Do Define Fort’s visual system Own Fort’s design language across app, marketing, social, and other brand surfaces. Build a system that feels premium and restrained without becoming vague or generic. Create a visual identity that can scale across product UI, landing pages, paid ads, founder content, emails, investor updates, creator assets, and launch moments. Set standards for typography, layout, hierarchy, color, imagery, motion, and art direction. Design product experiences Shape the Fort app experience across workout summaries, weekly progress, muscles trained, strength trends, recovery context, and health narratives. Make training data feel clear, calm, useful, and emotionally resonant. Help translate complex sensor data, strength tracking, and recovery signals into simple product moments people can actually understand and act on. Design interfaces that feel premium and intelligent, not clinical, crowded, or gamified in a cheap way. Shape Fort’s creative direction Art-direct product renders, on-wrist visuals, lifestyle scenes, animations, packaging moments, and launch creative. Collaborate with 3D artists, content producers, photographers, marketers, coaches, community leads, and founders. Help define the world Fort belongs in: premium health, modern strength, boutique wellness, longevity, design, and everyday capability. Make strength feel like health infrastructure, not a niche gym-bro feature. What We’re Looking For 5+ years of experience in product, mobile, or brand design. An exceptional portfolio with strong taste, clear thinking, and polished execution. Experience designing for premium consumer, wellness, fitness, fashion, beauty, health, hardware, lifestyle, or hospitality brands. Strong product UI instincts, especially around making data, progress, and health insights feel clear and motivating. Ability to design growth surfaces that convert without feeling loud, cheap, or generic. Excellent typography, layout, hierarchy, visual storytelling, and art direction.

You know how to build simple, useful dashboards and weekly reports. You can balance performance marketing with brand taste. You are excited by consumer healt
