High-Level Overview
Our Product team is looking for a Staff Product Designer to transform our donation experience into a world-class experience. In this role, you will act as a strategic partner, bridging design vision with technical feasibility and business goals. Your primary focus will be applying eCommerce-grade optimization, behavioural science, and a B2C mindset to our donation flows to ensure democratizing philanthropy is as seamless, intuitive, and impactful as the best consumer products in the world.
What you’ll do:
- Lead the evolution of our donation experience using optimization strategies and behavioural science to reduce friction and increase global giving impact.
- Use deep qualitative and quantitative insights to define problems, evaluate design trade-offs, and measure impact, connecting user experience outcomes to business results.
- Lead complex, cross-functional design explorations, facilitating workshops and working sessions that align Product, Engineering, Data, and Research around shared problem definitions and design direction.
- Move beyond static mocks, ensuring AI-assisted discovery, design, and development cycles are guided by high-quality design standards and user-centered logic.
- Steward and evolve the Skyline design system, identifying systemic gaps, influencing standards, and ensuring consistency, scalability, and accessibility across the product ecosystem.
- Raise the bar and ensure high-quality deliverables with an unreasonable attention to detail and aesthetics. Lead critiques and model strong craft to elevate the team’s visual and functional standards.
- Define success metrics for usability and impact. Use data and user feedback to drive continuous, quantifiable improvements in user conversion and retention.
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership to translate ambiguous problem spaces into clear, actionable solutions that are intuitive, elegant, and durable.
What you’ll bring:
This is a staff-level role where you will be evaluated on your ability to drive product experience excellence. We are looking for:
- You have a proven track record (10+ years) of building and scaling high-traffic consumer-facing products in ecommerce, fintech, or fundraising.
- You understand the nuances of a checkout experience and know how to design for the “emotional high” of a transaction.
- You have a deep understanding of the “math” of a transaction. You know how to analyze conversion funnels, identify drop-off points, and design for high-performance outcomes.
- You don’t just design amazing interfaces; you understand user psychology. You can articulate how psychological nudges and motivational design drive user action.
- You are an opinionated tastemaker with an obsession for detail. You wield design fundamentals—typography, layout, and balance—to create interfaces that feel premium and trustworthy.
- You demonstrate leadership that moves beyond your immediate team. You solve organizational problems, improve design processes, and can influence senior stakeholders through clear, data-backed storytelling.
- You are a master of Figma and emerging AI-native tools, using them to move beyond static mocks to high-fidelity “living” prototypes.
- Accessibility isn’t an afterthought for you. You have deep knowledge of WCAG 2.1⁄2.2 and a portfolio that proves you design for everyone.
- You are a problem solver who requires very little guidance on projects and thrives in a fast-paced environment.
- You have the ability to take initiative, prioritize, manage workloads, and meet project deadlines.
- You are an excellent communicator and can clearly articulate your design decisions, ideas, and vision.
