[Hiring] Senior Product Designer @GoodParty.org

Role Description

GoodParty.org is looking for a Senior Product Designer (Contract) to help shape the user experience across our AI-powered civic tech platform. You’ll deliver high-quality product design work that helps candidates run, elected officials serve, and voters engage with democracy.

In this three-month, fully remote contract role (30-40 hours per week), you’ll work with a fast-moving team to turn complex problems into clear, intuitive experiences.

What you’ll do:

• Deliver end-to-end design for features on our Win product (campaign management tools for Independent candidates), from initial concept through post-launch iteration.
• Partner directly with product and engineering counterparts to move quickly from problem definition to production-ready specs.
• Maintain and extend our Figma-based design system, establishing clear principles for when to create new patterns versus reusing existing ones.
• Set and hold a high craft bar across everything you touch, including typography, interaction design, and information hierarchy, ensuring Win feels like it was designed by a single mind.
• Use data and usage metrics to inform design decisions and demonstrate clear impact on activation and retention.
• Integrate AI tools (Figma AI, v0, Lovable, or similar) into your workflow to move faster without sacrificing quality.

Qualifications

• You have 5+ years of product design experience shipping complex SaaS or consumer products, with a portfolio that demonstrates strong craft and systems thinking.
• You architect design systems that scale; you know when to build new patterns and when to reuse, and you optimize for team velocity without sacrificing flexibility.
• You influence product direction through design-driven insights and quantitative data, not just intuition.
• You work with minimal process scaffolding; you thrive in a direct, low-ceremony environment and own your work end-to-end.
• You drive complex work to completion at startup speed while maintaining quality, and you proactively remove your own blockers.
• You integrate AI tools into your design workflow to meaningfully accelerate output.
• You communicate design decisions with clarity and confidence to both technical and non-technical collaborators, and you give and receive direct feedback without friction.
• You’re able to work independently and also enjoy collaborating with others to iteratively solve problems in real-time.
• You thrive working at the startup speed that our mission demands.

Requirements

• Bonus if you have experience working in small, tight-knit, fast-paced remote teams.
• Bonus if you’ve worked in civic tech, political campaigns, or democracy-focused initiatives and understand the unique challenges of this space.
• Bonus if you’ve studied, worked, or volunteered in politics, civics, or democracy reform.
• Bonus if 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.

Benefits

• Join a passionate team with diverse political views focused on one mission.
• Our values are: People First. Direct, Open, and Honest. Empowered Ownership. Iterate for Impact. Fun Is Fuel.
• We’re a Public Benefit Corporation that prioritizes social impact over profit.
• Work where and how you like, on a fully remote team spread across the country.
• The hourly rate is $75.00 - $98.00, for this remote, contract position working 30 to 40 hours per week.
• This range reflects the range of possible compensation for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range.
• We reserve the right to modify this pay range at any time.
• We are not considering candidates currently based outside of the US, so please only apply if you are physically located in the US.
