We're looking for someone who wants to be part of a team that's pioneering a new approach to persuasion: giving our customers the power to persuade more people based on how they think — not just how they look.
If you want to make an impact by building products from the ground up, we hope you'll apply.
Who We Are
- Grow Progress gives our customers the power to persuade more people by tailoring their messages to match each audience member's identity. We help customers harness the latest persuasion science to create messaging that's typically 200% to 500% more effective than their existing ads. We do this by predicting which personality traits and values are most important to each individual based on their digital footprints.
- We're using this tech to super-power campaigns, causes, and companies that make the world a better place. We currently work with many of the biggest Democratic pollsters, marketing agencies, advocacy groups, and labor unions in the country.
- We're a team of experienced campaigners, engineers, and data scientists who are obsessed with harnessing the power of evidence to make social good advocates more effective. We're ambitious, efficient, low-ego, and we like to make each other laugh.
About the Position
You'll work with our team of engineers and data scientists to build a completely new way to persuade people. As our first design hire, you will own the UI and UX of all our product surfaces, including our public-facing branded pages and our interactive dashboards. You'll be responsible for turning highly complicated flows into beautiful, simple experiences. You'll be working on a variety of design challenges and will be involved in early stage research, ideation, implementation, and iteration.
Here's a bit more about how you'll spend your time:

- Redesigning our existing products to fit better together
- Getting to know our users by driving our user research
- Working with the product and executive teams to flesh out product ideas into defined user experience
- Rapidly prototyping and evaluating new product ideas that can drive new growth
- Collaborating with our client success team to user-test new prototypes and QA new features
- Sketching and storyboarding user flows to define key interactions
- Developing a unified design language and a design pattern library, so that designers and engineers can work from templates instead of creating from scratch every time

- You're comfortable balancing attention to detail with timely delivery of designs
- You have the ability to juggle multiple projects and deadlines
- You have US work authorization
- You have progressive values (obviously)
Bonus Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Design, HCI, a related subject, or equivalent work experience
