Senior Director, Growth Design

Change.org is searching for a Senior Director of Growth Design to lead our growth design team, building a variety of bets to increase our learning as a company and grow our impact to hundreds of millions of users across the world.

We're a social impact business (a public benefit company), and the world's largest social change platform with 100 million users, 40,000+ campaigns launched on the site every month, and a 100% user-generated revenue model. Our users win campaigns for change once every hour. We're working for a world where no one is powerless, and where creating change is a part of everyday life. From mobilizing over 5 million people to investigate the fires in the Amazon, to mobilizing nearly 3 million against war and famine in Yemen, to large-scale mobilizations for the people of Iran and against the war in Ukraine, and calling for racial justice in the US, many movements were born on Change.org. Dozens of local, national, and international victories are happening every day thanks to the strength of our members who are changing the lives of people around the world. We want to help them go even further and we need your help!

Key Outcomes

  • Co-shape the vision and strategy for a best-in-class growth design practice that impacts the entire product ecosystem, including products for petition starters, signers, voters, and nonprofits.
  • Lead the growth design team to produce consistently high quality work, ranging from optimization experiments to big 0-to-1 product bets.
  • Continually and meaningfully increase the impact of our products in user engagement, revenue optimization, and social impact.
  • In partnership with Product, Engineering, and Analytics, build a culture and processes that propel our experimentation and learning.
  • Manage and mentor a team of high performing, happy designers doing the best work of their careers.

Core Competencies

  • Growth Expertise You love designing for growth in its different approaches. This includes creating a high velocity cadence of optimization experiments, exploring new features, and engaging new user audiences. You are deeply informed by analytics and user insight, and know how to create the right MVP version of hypotheses to learn quickly.
  • Leadership You have experience setting and evolving a vision for design of a product area, incorporating user insight and business needs. You're able to motivate and inspire both your partners and direct reports with clear, thoughtful, design strategy.
  • Management You're skilled at managing a team of designers and design managers, making sure they individually feel ownership of their respective areas, while working as whole toward organizational goals. You're able to mentor folks to do exceptional work and grow in their career.
  • Emotional Design You have experience designing for products that engage people emotionally. Even in interactions that seem transactional, you are able to understand users' emotional drivers and barriers, and use that to create more engaging experiences.
  • Collaboration & Influence You're able to work with Product Management, Engineering, and Analytics to create product strategy and processes. You influence leadership and cross-functional peers through storytelling, shaping org-wide strategy, user empathy, and well-structured arguments. You're comfortable working with high levels of autonomy and trust.
  • Target Experience

  • 12+ years in consumer product design, with 5+ years in management and cross-functional influence
  • Prior experience leading strategic growth initiatives or experimentation workstreams across multiple teams
  • Experience with emotionally complex user journeys (civic tech, health, finance, etc.) where trust and motivation are critical to success
  • Fluency in design systems, experimentation platforms, and user research methods
  • Experience using AI to contribute to design thinking, helping teams discover how AI tools can increase productivity and augment essential human creativity
  • We know the confidence gap and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting amazing candidates like you, so please don't hesitate to apply. We also know it's rare for someone to meet 100% of the qualifications. Please apply anyway!
