We are looking for curious, collaborative and creative aspiring Product Designers from non-traditional backgrounds to be apprentices in our AsanaUP Product Design apprenticeship program in our San Francisco Team. AsanaUP is a paid 6-month opportunity to gain the knowledge, tools, and skills that will enable you to thrive in the technology industry.

We’re defining the Work Management category and inventing new ways for teams to work more efficiently together and see the larger purpose behind their work.

You will design beautiful experiences that make it as simple as possible for millions of users to adopt, use, and benefit from our product, helping us achieve our mission to enable all teams to work together effortlessly.
