Staff Product Designer Join GoodParty.org as a Staff Product Designer and help redesign how democracy works by building tools that empower everyday people to lead. You’ll design intuitive, high-impact experiences that support Independent candidates and elected officials reshaping how communities are represented. This is a rare opportunity to apply your craft to a mission that directly affects millions of lives. The ideal candidate has a proven track record of shipping high-impact products in consumer internet companies or consumer-quality SaaS companies, including at least 2+ years in a staff or principal-level individual contributor role. You will own complex product areas while mentoring other designers, establishing design standards across the platform, and leveraging cutting edge AI tools to make a massive impact. About GoodParty.org: A majority of voters, including more than half of Millennials and Gen Z, say that neither major party represents them. GoodParty.org is the solution. We’re on a mission to make people matter more than money in our democracy by empowering Independent candidates to run, win, and serve. Since 2024, 13,000+ Independent candidates have won their races across all 50 states using our tools, training, and support. Our AI-powered platform provides free tools to launch and run campaigns, connect with voters, and serve their communities effectively - without needing a political party and big donors. What our users have in common is that they prioritize people over parties and community over special interests. We’re not a political party, we’re a platform and a movement to democratize democracy. Founded by serial entrepreneur Farhad Mohit ($1B+ in exits, including Flipagram/TikTok and Shopzilla), GoodParty.org is building solutions so we can have a truly representative democracy where society’s biggest problems are solved. What you'll do: Own end-to-end design for complex, high-impact product areas that serve candidates and elected officials across the country. Drive design strategy and execution for features that bridge our Win (campaign tools) and Serve (constituent services) product lines. Evolve our design system, creating patterns and components that enable the team to ship consistently at speed. Elevate our brand expression across product touchpoints, ensuring every interaction reflects our mission while remaining accessible to all users. Pioneer AI-powered design workflows that accelerate our team's velocity while maintaining craft excellence. Conduct deep user research with candidates, elected officials and citizens to discover what a truly representative democracy experience looks like. Implement design changes directly in our codebase using tools like Claude Code and Cursor, speeding up engineering dependencies and iteration cycles. Mentor peer designers on craft excellence, systems thinking, and user research methodologies. Collaborate closely with engineering and product leadership to ensure our most complex features ship on time and exceed user expectations. Reports to the Chief Product Officer.
