About the role

Join us! We’re searching for a highly skilled and experienced Director of Product Design to lead design for GoFundMe’s Enterprise Software suite for non-profit organizations. In this role, you will define the experience vision that empowers nonprofits to build meaningful connections with their supporters through innovative tools and features. We believe that in a world of AI-generated everything, craft, visual design, and systems are what set great products apart. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Build and grow a team of designers and design managers who do their best work under your coaching, and contribute to how we define levels and expectations
