Senior Product Designer

Avaaz is an international campaigning and advocacy organization that empowers nearly 70 million members to make impactful changes globally. The Senior Product Designer will lead the design of high-impact member surfaces and establish an in-house design practice, collaborating closely with product managers and engineers to enhance user experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Lead innovative design across our highest-impact member surfaces
• Own and evolve our design system
• Help build the in-house design practice
• Partner closely with PMs and engineers
• Ground design in member research and evidence
• Design for a global, multilingual membership
• Partner with campaigners and fundraisers
• Raise the craft bar and a shared design vocabulary
• Help shape the long-term product and design vision

Requirements:

• Significant experience as a senior product designer shipping consumer- or member-facing digital products end to end, from problem framing through to launch
• A strong portfolio demonstrating excellence across both UX and UI: interaction design, visual design, and prototyping
• Expert command of Figma and modern design and prototyping workflows. Bonus if you have familiarity with leveraging AI in your workflows
• Experience building or meaningfully contributing to a design system or component library
• Comfortable working embedded with product managers and engineers in an agile environment; you collaborate on implementation rather than handing off and walking away
• You ground your work in user research, usability testing, and data; you can say when a design is working and when it isn't
• A clear, confident communicator who can present and defend design decisions to senior stakeholders and explain design thinking to non-designers
• Self-directed and comfortable building structure where little exists; you're energized, not daunted, by being early
• Experience in non-profit, campaigning, activism, journalism, or another mission-driven context
• Experience designing high-converting donation, checkout, or growth flows
• Experience designing for multilingual, right-to-left, or highly accessible products at scale
• Enough familiarity with front-end constraints (HTML/CSS, component-based frameworks) to collaborate closely with engineers
