Director of Product Design

Kickstarter, PBC, is seeking a Director of Product Design to lead our team of product designers and UX writers, drive our product design process, and contribute to product vision and strategy.

The Kickstarter Product Design team is responsible for a consistent, beautiful, and usable experience across Web, iOS, and Android. We collaboratively design new experiences, maintain existing ones, and explore solutions-based quantitative and qualitative research. We are small and scrappy but mighty and find innovative ways to work efficiently and effectively scale our work. In support of Kickstarter’s mission to “help bring creative projects to life,” we keep our fingers on the pulse of backer and creator feedback, and advocate for the best experience possible for a given scope.  We believe in the value of design systems, inclusive design, and bold expression. 

- Fridays off! Kickstarter is currently experimenting with a 4-day/32-hour workweek pilot so that we can all enjoy long weekends

- A fully remote workforce with plenty of opportunities to get to know your colleagues 

- 100% employer-paid health plan offerings

- 16 paid vacation days, 10 sick days, and a company-wide winter break between Christmas and New Years

- 25 volunteer hours each year to give back to your community

- 16 weeks of parental leave plus fertility/family planning resources

- Incredibly talented and inspiring colleagues who know how to blend their creative endeavors into their work
