About the Team

We're hiring a Product Designer to lead design for Creator Insights & Intelligence, shaping how creators understand and act on their business performance data. You'll design the insights experiences and data visualizations that help creators see what's working, identify opportunities for growth, and make well-supported decisions about their creative businesses. Your work will empower creators to grow their audiences, optimize their content strategy, and build sustainable businesses on Patreon.

You'll work on launching new product surfaces powered by intelligence that empower creators with expertise and best practices to make better decisions. Your work will directly influence how hundreds of thousands of creators understand and grow their businesses on Patreon.

About the Role

• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Content Design, and Data Science to define what insights matter most to creators.

• Create compelling ways to surface actionable recommendations and best practices within the product.

• Partner with user researchers and data scientists to understand how creators use — or struggle with — their business data to inform your design direction.

• Define a clear design approach when requirements or constraints are not yet fully established.

• Iterate on designs based on user feedback and data to continuously improve the insights experience.

• Produce polished, production-ready work in visual design, data visualization, and interaction design across insights experiences.

What you'll need

• 7+ years of product design experience, or equivalent demonstrated through portfolio and shipped work, with a focus on consumer-facing digital products, including products designed for creators, sellers, or others who produce content or services on a platform.

• Proven experience designing analytics, dashboards, or data visualization products that help users make better decisions.

• Strong visual and interaction design skills, with demonstrated ability to simplify complex information.

• Demonstrated ability to think systematically and create design solutions that scale.

• Comfortable working with quantitative data and translating metrics into meaningful design direction.

• Track record of working effectively across Product, Engineering, and Data Science — evidenced by shipped work with cross-functional stakeholders.

• Portfolio demonstrating shipped work with clear outcomes and user value.
