Responsibilities:

  • Lead the full end-to-end UX/UI design process across all platform features and user types
  • Translate the needs of donors, volunteers, nonprofits, and brands into elegant, intuitive design systems
  • Define and evolve the visual identity and interaction standards across web and mobile platforms
  • Collaborate closely with founders and engineering to rapidly prototype, test, and ship new features
  • Conduct ongoing user research to optimize usability and inform design direction
  • Create high-quality wireframes, interactive prototypes, and product animations when appropriate
  • Embed trust, delight, and emotional resonance into every digital experience
  • Establish scalable design workflows and processes to support future team growth

Requirements:

  • 3–6+ years of experience in UX/UI or product design, ideally within early-stage startups or 0?1 product builds
  • A portfolio showcasing beautiful, strategic product work and strong user empathy
  • Expert with Figma, Sketch, Adobe Suite, and/or other similar design tools
  • Experience conducting user research, usability testing, and iterative design cycles
  • Deep understanding of mobile-first and responsive web design best practices
  • Strong communicator with a bias for collaboration, iteration, and feedback
  • Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving, ambiguous startup environment

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience designing for nonprofit, social impact, or mission-driven platforms
  • Background in motion design, illustration, or visual storytelling
  • Familiarity with frontend workflows and design-to-code implementation
  • Prior experience creating design systems or visual brand identities from scratch
  • Passion for building emotionally resonant experiences that drive real-world behavior change

Education:

Bachelor’s degree in design, HCI, or related field preferred — or equivalent professional experience

Location:

Salary Range:

$160,000 – $190,000 base + equity (dependent on experience)
