About the role
Patreon is a media and community platform where over 300,000 creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences.

Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:
- $10 billion+ generated by creators since Patreon's inception
- 100 million+ free memberships for fans who may not be ready to pay just yet, and
- 25 million+ paid memberships on Patreon today.
We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator platform with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a

About the Team
About the Role
What you’ll need
- You've shipped distinctive consumer software where design was central to the product's market position, not just polish on a working thing, across a range of products or surfaces rather than a single hero project
- You lead by example in the craft, whether in Figma, prototyping, or production code
- You're a proven manager with success across different sizes and shapes of design teams, and you've operated across different configurations (startup, scale, public) rather than running one playbook
- You have real AI fluency: you use tools daily and have driven measurable, team-wide transformation in velocity, quality, or scope
- You have a track record of building and holding high talent density: top designers choose to work for you and stay, and the people you've hired and developed have gone on to become strong leaders themselves
- You're a strategic thought partner across functions, oriented toward shared outcomes rather than territory
- You're a strong external voice for your team's work, brand, and craft
We hire talented and passionate people from different backgrounds because workplace diversity and inclusion is critical to our ability to serve creators worldwide. If you're excited about a role but your past experience doesn't match with every bullet point outlined above, we strongly encourage you to apply anyway. If you're a creator at heart, are energized by our mission, and share our company values, we'd love to hear from you.
