Patreon is a media and community platform where over 300,000 creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. We offer creators a variety of ways to engage with their communities and build a lasting business including: paid memberships, free memberships, community chats, live experiences, and selling to fans directly with one-time purchases.
Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:
$8 billion+ in revenue generated since Patreon's inception
60 million+ free new memberships for fans who may not be ready to pay just yet, and
10 million+ fans paying each month for exclusive access to creators' work and community.
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 Staff Product Designer, Podcasts & Mobile to support our mission.
This role is based in New York or San Francisco and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model.
About the Role
We’re hiring a Product Designer to lead the design of key podcast and fan-facing features within Patreon’s mobile app. In this role, you’ll help shape the experience for how fans discover, listen to, and engage with podcast content—and how podcasters grow and connect with their audiences.
This role is embedded with a focused team of mobile engineers and supported by a partially allocated product manager, so it requires strong ownership and initiative from design.
In this role, you will:
Lead design for fan- and creator-facing podcast surfaces in our mobile app
Work closely with mobile engineers to prototype, iterate, and ship improvements quickly
Translate insights into elegant product experiences using storytelling and interaction design
Identify and refine design patterns that improve usability and support long-term growth
Collaborate across design, product, and research to define problem spaces and test solutions
About You
7+ years of experience designing digital products, with a strong emphasis on mobile user experiences
A portfolio that demonstrates high-impact, high-craft mobile design work that has shipped to users
Proven ability to lead features end-to-end, with close collaboration across engineering and product
Comfortable operating with autonomy and making progress in the face of ambiguity
A scrappy, action-oriented mindset—focused on moving fast, learning quickly, and delivering value
Deep appreciation for quality and craft, with a user-first approach to solving problems
A collaborative and humble approach to teamwork, with strong communication and follow-through
Genuine enthusiasm for podcasts and digital media, ideally as an active listener or fan
Bonus: familiarity with how native mobile platforms are built, or technical fluency in mobile development

For remote employees located outside CA and NY, salary may vary based on location and local market conditions.
