Lead Designer

Product Design Lead Position at Wefunder

​

You’ll report directly to the CEO and lead product across the entire company.

​

Good Design Matters

​

Good design is incredibly important to us. We believe beautiful software is the sum of thousands of small details, done just right, guided by good taste.

​

We're looking for someone obsessed with nailing those details. Someone that will not only "make it pretty", but who is excited to figure out what our users (both founders and investors) want.

​

You will help guard the "soul" of our product. It's an important job.

​

Dream Candidate

​

Our ideal candidate has a head start on understanding our users: they've either founded a company, worked with a founding team, or invested in a startup.

​

You are also very good at simplifying complexity. The law is complicated: often, a web page might have a dozen variations for legal reasons. You'll need an engineering-like brain to keep track of these details. But you'll also need to be an empath to understand our users.

​

Finally, you thrive in the chaos of working in a small team in a fast moving startup. You love ambiguity. You love taking initiative and not being told what to do. You want to work hard because that’s how to maximize your learning and impact.

​

Requirements

​

• You thrive in in-person work cultures and will show up to our San Francisco office.
• Your portfolio is beautiful. You bleed minimalism and simplicity.
• You have a critical eye for detail. If it's not pixel-perfect, it drives you crazy.
• You can code up some CSS and HTML in a pinch and submit to a git repository. 
• You are excited to talk and learn from our users: both founders and investors.
• You have good judgement on when to A/B test and use data... and when to lead with taste.
• You are good at understanding complexity and then simplifying it.

​

Responsibilities

​

• Redesign Wefunder with a new, more modern design system
• Lead new projects and create detailed Figma mockups
• Work with the support team to solve common investor problems
