(San Francisco, CA)
We want a daring yet thoughtful graphic designer to give Causes a voice and a brand. Part of our past success has been due to our seamless integration with the designs of the platforms we use. We have achieved this integration almost to a fault – our users sometimes can’t distinguish between Causes and Facebook. We now realize we are trapped in a straitjacket of design conventions. These conventions optimize for the display of information, but do not bring us closer to our goal: inspiring people to take action.
That’s where you come in. Help us break out of the straitjacket. You’ll make mocks, design experiences, establish conventions, and build a proper brand for Causes. We’ll keep our passion for details and iconography, but we’re willing to have our product assumptions challenged to their very core. Our only requirement is that your design give our users a warm fuzzy feeling for taking concrete action to change the world.
A stellar candidate:
- Obsesses over typography
- Creates tasty icons
- Knows how to let user-generated content sing
- Prototypes low and high fidelity interfaces quickly
- Communicates effectively with both technical and non-technical teammates
- Values and practices iteration in the design process
- Designs web applications, not just websites
Job Perks: We offer a competitive salary, company equity, good benefits, catered lunch everyday, snacks galore, and the answer "yes" to almost anything you could ask for. The real perk, though, is the team. We rock. You want to meet us. For more info, go to exchange.causes.com/about
