About UpMetrics
At UpMetrics, we're building a world where impact organizations have the knowledge, tools, and connections to achieve their missions. Our mission is to help organizations accelerate impact through innovative technology and community, connecting funders and mission-driven organizations with the capital, insights, and relationships they need to succeed.
To deliver on this mission, we provide an impact reporting platform in combination with expert services. Together, these products empower organizations to collect, analyze, and learn from their data-gaining insights and sharing their stories to inspire change.
As a Sr. Product Designer, you will lead end-to-end design across our core platform, from research through implementation. You’ll evolve existing features and shape brand-new, 0-to-1 features and product lines, with work that touches the entire platform. Your research will directly shape product strategy through a deep understanding of our market, user needs, and behaviors. Throughout the development cycle, you will partner closely with a product manager and engineering lead as a true peer, delivering work as part of a nimble development pod. We are looking for a highly engaged, self-organizing, high-autonomy designer who wants to take genuine ownership of their work and see it through.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to get more visibility into the business of product development and form product design ideas before the product development lifecycle begins, while remaining focused on product design and knowing your work will have an impact on the world.

Experience designing B2B or enterprise SaaS products

Strong visual design skills, typography, color, and hierarchy, at a level that raises the bar for the whole product rather than matching what's already there
Deep Figma fluency, including component libraries, auto-layout, and developer-ready handoff
