About this role

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.

Who we're looking for:

- You’re up for the audacious challenge of driving money out of politics and democratizing democracy.

- You have 6+ years of product design experience with at least 2+ years in a staff or principal-level individual contributor role at a consumer internet company or consumer-quality SaaS company.

- You've led the design of complex, multi-stakeholder products from 0-1 and have experience scaling features to serve thousands of users.

- You're highly skilled in both responsive web design and native mobile applications, with a portfolio showcasing systematic thinking and craft excellence.

- You're highly proficient with design tools like Figma and comfortable implementing design changes in code using tools like Cursor or similar.

- You have strong AI fluency, using AI tools to accelerate your design workflow beyond basic content generation.

- You have deep experience with user research methodologies and can synthesize insights across diverse user segments.

- You have exceptional brand sensibility and visual taste, with the ability to elevate our product's aesthetic while maintaining accessibility and simplicity.

- You've built or significantly contributed to design systems that enabled team velocity while maintaining product coherence.

- You communicate complex design decisions clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders to find agreement around difficult trade-offs.

- You're comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in fast-paced startup environments where you need to balance speed with quality.

Bonus if:

- You have experience designing for diverse user bases with varying levels of technical sophistication.

- You've worked on products with civic, social impact, or mission-driven focus.

- You've contributed to open-source design systems or have experience with design ops.

- You’ve studied, worked, or volunteered in politics, civics, or democracy reform.

- You’re tired of sitting on the sidelines while democracy fails to meet its potential – and you’re ready to use your passion for design to act.
