Job Details

Patreon is a media and community platform where creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. Over 300k creators are cultivating fandoms and building their businesses each month. Creators can offer free memberships to fans looking to explore more of their work, paid memberships to give access to exclusive media and community, or sell directly to fans with Shops.

Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:

  • 8B+ earned since Patreon's inception

  • 30M free new memberships in the first year of launching that option, and

  • 10M fans paying each month for exclusive access to creators' work and community.

We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator products with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Staff Product Designer for our Design Foundations team to support our mission.

This role is based in New York or San Francisco and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model.

About the Role

Patreon is looking for a Staff Product Designer for the Foundations team to shape the holistic user experience of our platform, ensuring a cohesive, high-quality visual system that integrates seamlessly with our brand. This role sits at the intersection of product design, visual systems, and brand execution, guiding how Patreon shows up across creator and fan experiences. You’ll define and refine our visual product language, enabling designers to work more efficiently while maintaining consistency and excellence.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you’ll mentor and support the product design team, work closely with the design system to set standards for UI and interaction patterns, and set the standards that accelerate great design. You’ll help bridge the gap between product and brand expression with strong, opinionated decisions. From redesigning core experiences to refining our navigation and design architecture, you’ll play a critical role in modernizing Patreon’s platform. This role is ideal for an equally visual and systems thinker who thrives on variety.

What You'll Do

  • Define and refine Patreon’s visual product language to enable consistency, efficiency, and excellence across the platform.

  • Build end-to-end design solutions to help bring new offerings to large-scale creators

  • Proactively discover company-level opportunities and help bring clarity and insight through high-fidelity prototypes and expert storytelling

  • Work closely with Research, Product and Engineering to identify, plan, scope and execute end-to-end design solutions

  • Work across the entire design organization to develop innovative patterns and systems that are durable, repeatable and achieve a high standard for craft

  • Create, collaborate, and iterate on prototypes, high-fidelity visuals, and key flows

  • Mentor and support the product design team, setting standards for UI, interaction patterns, and visual craft.

  • Contribute to the visioning, sequencing, tactics, and execution of a multi-phased overhaul of the product

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years of crafting end-to-end product design experiences

  • Highly competent in translating the needs of a target audience to solutions through a holistic and empathetic process

  • Portfolio with demonstrated evidence of shipping world-class customer experiences that have made a significant impact on business metrics

  • Deep organization and execution skills, especially in collaboration with multiple stakeholders

  • Experience in design thinking methodologies to lead teams toward user-centered outcomes

  • A deep commitment to craft & product excellence

  • A humble, collaborative, and service-oriented approach to your career

  • Scrappiness & bias towards action: we’re building the future of creative independence and changing the way art is made
