Senior Product Design Manager

Join us at Goodparty.org to lead Product and Brand Design on our platform built to make people matter more than money in our democracy! You will bring expertise as a Design leader to develop a world-class user experience.

You’ll act as a player/coach in this role, where you will own design work while managing and mentoring a team of Product and Brand Designers. The ideal candidate has 2+ years of experience leading Design teams in consumer internet companies or consumer-quality SaaS companies.

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. The only things our elected officials have in common is that they prioritize people over parties and community over corporate 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:

• Develop and grow a world-class team of Brand and Product Designers.

• Create design processes that champion an iterative, fast-paced, data-driven design philosophy.

• Partner with Product leadership to craft a product vision, and lead execution.

• Bring your world-class design and brand taste to modernize our community engagement tools.

• Develop user research best practices. Ensure consistent feedback loops in our Design cycles.

• Elevate Goodparty.org’s brand and visual identity.

• Champion the use of AI across your team. Set standards that emphasize velocity.

• Obsess over the user experience and design accessible interfaces that work seamlessly for people with varying levels of ability.

• Maintain high empathy in all facets of your team’s work.

• Report to the Chief Product Officer.
