Location: Remote (U.S.-based) (San Francisco Bay Area preferred) Department: Product Reports to: Lead Product Designer About UpMetrics At UpMetrics, we're building a world where impact organizations have the knowledge, tools, and connections to achieve their missions. Our mission is to help organizations accelerate impact through innovative technology and community, connecting funders and mission-driven organizations with the capital, insights, and relationships they need to succeed. To deliver on this mission, we provide an impact reporting platform in combination with expert services. Together, these products empower organizations to collect, analyze, and learn from their data—gaining insights and sharing their stories to inspire change. As a Sr. Product Designer, you will lead end-to-end design across our core platform, from research through implementation. You’ll evolve existing features and shape brand-new, 0-to-1 features and product lines, with work that touches the entire platform. Your research will directly shape product strategy through a deep understanding of our market, user needs, and behaviors. Throughout the development cycle, you will partner closely with a product manager and engineering lead as a true peer, delivering work as part of a nimble development pod. We are looking for a highly engaged, self-organizing, high-autonomy designer who wants to take genuine ownership of their work and see it through. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to get more visibility into the business of product development and form product design ideas before the product development lifecycle begins, while remaining focused on product design and knowing your work will have an impact on the world.

Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and underrepresented individuals only apply when they meet 100% of them. We believe that people of color, people from working class backgrounds, women, and LGBTQ+ people must be centered in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities, or who are members of other marginalized communities.
