Senior Product Designer, Membership Monetization

Patreon is a media and community platform where over 300,000 creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. We offer creators a variety of ways to engage with their communities and build a lasting business including: paid memberships, free memberships, community chats, live experiences, and selling to fans directly with one-time purchases.

Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:

• $8 billion+ in revenue generated since Patreon's inception

• 60 million+ free new memberships for fans who may not be ready to pay just yet, and

• 10 million+ fans paying each month for exclusive access to creators' work and community.

We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator platform with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Senior Product Designer to support our mission.

This role is based in New York or San Francisco and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Product Designer to lead the design of Patreon’s core membership monetization experiences — the foundation of how creators present their best work to top fans and how casual fans become true fans over time. Membership is Patreon’s core product, and monetization is central to how it works. You’ll design the tools and touchpoints that help creators use their work to draw audiences deeper into their communities, create demand to become paying fans, and unlock sustainable revenue over time. This includes considering long-term fan journeys and shaping how affinity for creators deepens across multiple touchpoints and moments of engagement. Your work will directly influence how creators grow sustainable businesses while fans feel more connected and invested.

You’ll be embedded in the Membership Monetization team, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and Research to bring clarity to ambiguous opportunities, design high-impact creator and fan experiences, and ensure they launch with polish and purpose.

In this role, you will:

• Lead design for core membership experiences that deepen creator–fan relationships and drive monetization.

• Translate broad, multi-touchpoint journeys into clear, actionable product flows and strategies.

• Identify and design tools that help creators showcase their work in ways that inspire fan engagement and conversion.

• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Research to scope, iterate, and deliver high-quality, user-centered solutions.

• Use insights from research, data, and market analysis to inform long-term design direction and validate solutions.

• Maintain a high bar for craft in visual and interaction design across membership experiences.
  

About You

• 5+ years of product design experience, with a focus on consumer-facing digital products.

• Proven track record designing for complex, multi-step user journeys that drive retention, engagement, or monetization.

• Strong visual and interaction design skills, with an eye for clarity, simplicity, and detail.

• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and converging toward clarity through exploration and iteration.

• Skilled collaborator who builds trust and alignment across disciplines.

• Portfolio demonstrating shipped, high-impact work with measurable results.

• [Nice to have] Experience in digital media, subscriptions, community platforms, or e-commerce.

• [Nice to have] Familiarity with fan engagement or membership-based product experiences.
