givebutter - Director, Product Design
Requirements
• 8+ years of product design experience, with 3–5 years managing other designers • Strong portfolio demonstrating design leadership across complex, multi-surface product environments with clear impact on users and business outcomes. • Proven ability to develop designers at different career stages and build team culture intentionally. • Deep craft sensibility. You can define what "great" looks like across interaction design, visual design, and design systems, and hold that bar across a team. • Experience working closely with Product and Engineering leadership as a strategic partner, influencing roadmap and product direction through design. • Strong judgment on prioritization. You know when to go deep, when to delegate, and how to focus a team on the highest-impact work. • Excellent communication. You can tell a clear story to an exec audience and give a junior designer actionable feedback the same day. • Comfortable operating in a high-growth, ambiguous environment where priorities evolve and speed matters. • Genuine fluency with how AI is reshaping design, both the craft of designing AI-driven experiences and the way designers work day to day. • SaaS or B2B product experience required; nonprofit or social impact experience is a plus. Experience designing AI-native, automation, or agentic product experiences is a strong plus.. • 2. Hiring Manager Interview: A deeper dive into your relevant experience, skillset, and working style. This is your first opportunity to connect directly with the person who may be your future manager. • 3. Assessment (technical or non-technical): This stage will vary based on the role. It could involve a live coding session, case study, or take-home project. Some roles may include two parts to this stage to evaluate both practical skills and problem-solving approaches • 4. Values Interview: A conversation with team members focused on how you align with our core values and leadership principles. • 5. References: We connect with a few folks you’ve worked closely with to get a better picture of your working style and impact. • 6. Offer: If all goes well, we’ll move to the offer stage! • Please note, we will have an AI note-taking tool join most of our interviews. • Hi potential new butterslice! A recent study from LinkedIn https://business.linkedin.com/content/dam/me/business/en-us/talent-solutions-lodestone/body/pdf/Gender-Insights-Report.pdf showed that most women apply to jobs only when they meet 100% of the requirements, whereas men will hit the apply button if they hit 60%. Givebutter is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. So to the women and nonbinary folks out there feeling unsure if you're a perfect fit, we strongly encourage you to apply!
