Senior Product Designer

GiveCampus is the world's leading fundraising platform for non-profit educational institutions, helping advance the quality, affordability, and accessibility of education. They are seeking a Senior Product Designer to own end-to-end design across multiple products, solving complex problems for real users while collaborating closely with various teams.

Responsibilities:

• Drive measurable business and user value by defining elegant, effective solutions to complex problems within real constraints of time, scope, and ownership
• Elevate what we ship
• Drive adoption, usage, and retention by applying systems thinking, user empathy, and deep product intuition
• Move fast
• Prioritize clarity of scope, smart sequencing, and delivery over perfectionism
• Use AI-powered tools to compress the gap between idea and artifact—turning a two-week prototype cycle into an afternoon when the situation calls for it
• Help set the bar for UX and UI excellence across the organization
• Produce consistently thoughtful, well-crafted work that demonstrates deep understanding of users, anticipates edge cases, and solves real problems—not just for users, but in ways that hold up under engineering, business, and scale constraints
• If you see a broken flow and can fix it, fix it—put up a PR, don’t file a ticket and wait
• Then scale yourself: build the design system component, the reusable pattern, or the prototype that keeps the problem from coming back
• Know every nook and cranny of our product
• Know our Partners—not as personas on a slide, but as people
• Visit campuses
• Sit with fundraisers and watch them work
• Take them to lunch
• Understand their days, their frustrations, their workarounds, and what they wish they could do but can’t

Requirements:

• Eight-plus years across product design, UX/UI, interaction design, and user research
• A portfolio that demonstrates both breadth and depth—not just beautiful screens, but evidence of solving hard problems with real constraints and measurable outcomes
• You've owned end-to-end product design in high-stakes environments—startups or high-growth teams—where design had clear, measurable impact
• You prioritize ruthlessly, move quickly, and make smart decisions with limited data—including disagreeing and committing when decisions aren't perfect but are necessary to move the business forward
• You've used AI-powered tools (Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Lovable, Figma Make, or similar) to go from idea to working prototype or, better yet, shipped feature or product that solves a real problem
• You work well with PMs, engineers, and stakeholders—not just alongside them, but in a way that produces better outcomes than any of you would reach alone
• You give feedback that's direct, specific, and kind
• You're easy to collaborate with and hard to ignore
• Better at listening than speaking, especially when navigating disagreement, ambiguity, or high-stakes decisions
• A builder who goes deep—into technical requirements, user flows, data, and the messy details that separate good design from great products
• Intensely curious—always pushing to understand why things are the way they are and how they got that way
• A strong collaborator who creates forward motion without creating friction, drama, or coordination overhead
• You operate with urgency but not chaos
• High standards, low maintenance. You hold yourself and others to excellence
• You don't need to be managed—you need to be pointed in the right direction
• Comfortable with strong opinions, loosely held. You advocate passionately for your point of view, then commit fully once a decision is made—even if it wasn't yours
• Mission-driven. Passionate about advancing the quality, the affordability, and the accessibility of education
• Radical empathy for end users—the fundraisers doing the hard work and the donors who want to make a difference
