We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join the Fan Monetization team. This role sits at the intersection of listener and creator experiences, helping artists earn beyond streaming and designing features that encourage fans to support them in meaningful ways.
You’ll be crafting products that are emotionally resonant, visually sharp, and intuitive to use. We’re looking for someone with strong visual and interaction design skills, who’s comfortable exploring multiple design directions and knows how to turn ideas into clear, user-friendly experiences.
You’ll work closely with our UX research team from early discovery through delivery. We care deeply about design and research working side by side and equally about designers who enjoy bouncing ideas with engineers early in the process, not just handing off work at the end.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design fan monetization experiences across both the artist and listener side of the product
- Collaborate deeply with UX research, treating them as thought partners throughout the design process
- Create multiple design concepts and variations, balancing speed with craft
- Uphold high standards of visual quality, including strong typography, layout, and hierarchy
- Work closely with PMs, engineers, and occasionally marketing to ensure alignment and smooth execution
- Iterate based on feedback, research insights, and data without losing sight of usability and the bigger picture
- Help push our product toward bold, expressive design that resonates with music fans and creators
- Advocate for design quality and consistency while remaining flexible and pragmatic
Fan Monetization is one of our most important areas of focus. The features you design will shape how millions of users experience and support music, and how creators can build sustainable careers. Your work will have a real cultural and emotional impact.
Experience and Background:
- 5+ years of experience in product design, with a strong portfolio showing visual excellence and UX / Design thinking
