Head of Product Design

<div><strong>About Differential<br></strong><br></div><div>Differential is growing! Yep, it turns out clients like us :) Our team of designers, developers, jokesters, and all around good folk needs more firepower. We’re proudly headquartered in Cincinnati, OH, but our team spans across the country.<br><br></div><div>In addition to only choosing the best group of people to work around, we are also very picky about the types of clients we’ll work with. In line with our mission to rapidly unlock value for good people with meaningful ideas, we partner with forward-thinking corporate pioneers and innovators to revolutionize their organizations from the inside out and bring great digital products to life. This translates to a diverse range of products like transforming retail with Adidas, helping Lexmark innovate cross-industry, streamlining the sales process with Big Ass Fans, to multi-platform mobile apps for large audiences with Crossroads Church.<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>We hire great, trustworthy people so that we can optimize for a free &amp; flexible culture: flexible hours, unlimited vacation, remote work, and working on stuff you’re excited about.<br><br></div><div>We're building the future of generosity at Apollos. Our giving platform lets churches accept donations through App Clips, native mobile apps, and web embeds, powered by Stripe, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. We need a Senior Product Designer who can own the end-to-end design of this product and ship financial experiences that are elegant, trustworthy, and frictionless.<br><br></div><div>This is not a role where you'll be handed polished requirements. You'll be shaping what church giving looks like, from the moment someone taps their phone at a Sunday service to recurring donation management, payout dashboards, and everything in between. You'll take complex financial workflows and make them feel simple. You'll design for donors, church admins, and finance teams, each with different needs, all deserving beautiful, intuitive experiences.<br><br></div><div>You'll report directly to our VP of Product and work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers to bring ideas to life. If you've designed payment flows, donation experiences, or financial products before and you obsess over the details that build trust in money moments, this could be a perfect fit.<br><strong><br>Job requirements<br></strong><br></div><div><strong>What You Can Expect To Do<br></strong><br></div><ul><li>Own giving product design end-to-end. From discovery and research through high-fidelity design, prototyping, and engineering collaboration.&nbsp;</li><li>Design payment experiences people trust. Donation flows, Apple Pay and Google Pay integrations, App Clip giving experiences, recurring giving management, and payment method handling, every pixel matters when money is involved.</li><li>Shape the church admin experience. Design dashboards, payout views, transaction histories, donor insights, and reporting tools that help church finance teams manage giving with confidence.</li><li>Translate financial complexity into simplicity. Stripe Connect, connected accounts, platform payouts, dispute management, fee structures. You'll take dense financial infrastructure and make it disappear behind clean, intuitive interfaces.</li><li>Drive product direction, not just pixels. Define what we build, not just how it looks. Bring product thinking to every design decision, user research, competitive analysis, and a strong opinion on what church giving should feel like.</li><li>Ship fast with engineers. Work directly with our engineering team, no handoff wall. Review implementations, pair on tricky interactions, and iterate in real-time. Idea to shipped in days, not months.</li><li>Build and evolve our design system. Create scalable components and patterns for our giving product that maintain quality as we grow. Document decisions so the system scales beyond you.</li><li>Leverage AI tools to accelerate output. Use Claude, Figma AI, and other tools to prototype faster, diverge and converge on concepts, and multiply your impact.<br><br></li></ul><div><strong><br>What We're Looking For<br></strong><br></div><ul><li>A designer who ships financial products. You've designed payment flows, checkout experiences, donation platforms, or fintech products. You understand the unique UX challenges of money, trust, clarity, error handling, and compliance.</li><li>Experience with giving or donation platforms. You've worked at or designed for companies like Givebutter, Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Classy, GoFundMe, Every.org, or similar. You understand donor psychology, conversion optimization, and recurring giving patterns.</li><li>Stripe and payments platform knowledge. You've designed interfaces that sit on top of Stripe (or similar payment infrastructure). Bonus if you've worked with Stripe Connect, connected accounts, or marketplace payment flows.</li><li>Strong product taste and design craft. Your portfolio shows thoughtful, high-quality work. You agonize over interaction details, micro-copy on payment confirmations, and the emotional design of a successful donation moment.</li><li>Mobile-first design thinking. You've designed native mobile experiences, not just responsive web. You understand platform conventions for iOS and Android, and you've thought about App Clips, widgets, or other native surface areas.</li><li>Systems thinking. You build design systems, not just screens. You think in components, patterns, and scalable frameworks.</li><li>High autonomy, high ownership. You don't need to be managed closely. You see what needs to happen and you drive it.</li><li>Clear communicator. You can articulate design rationale to engineers, product leadership, and stakeholders. You present work with conviction and receive feedback with grace.<br><br></li></ul><div><strong>Your Background Might Include<br></strong><br></div><ul><li>5+ years of product design experience, with meaningful time spent on payments, fintech, or donation/giving platforms</li><li>Experience at a startup or small team where you owned product design with high autonomy</li><li>Design work on products processing real transactions (not just concept work)</li><li>Proficiency with Design Systems</li><li>Working knowledge of how payment APIs work (Stripe, payment intents, webhooks, connected accounts) enough to have informed conversations with engineers</li><li>Experience with accessibility best practices, especially for financial interfaces</li><li>Experience in a mission-driven organization is a plus. If you have connections to the church world, Christian nonprofits, or faith-based technology, that context is genuinely valuable here.<br><br></li></ul><div><strong>About Apollos<br></strong><br></div><div>Apollos is the church growth platform that actually works. We build custom-branded mobile apps, TV apps, and websites for some of the largest churches in the country, and now we're building the giving platform that brings it all together. Our customers include churches like NewSpring, Crossroads, Willow Creek, Faith Promise, and 35+ others.<br><br></div><div>Our giving product lets churches accept donations via App Clips (tap-to-give with Apple Pay, no app download required), native in-app giving, and embeddable web experiences, all powered by Stripe. We're not just adding a donate button. We're reimagining how churches receive and manage generosity.<br><br></div><div>Apollos is a product of Differential, a digital products company in Cincinnati. We're a small, fast team of builders. Many of us are former founders. We ship with speed and taste.<br><br></div><div><strong>Compensation &amp; Details<br></strong><br></div><ul><li>Location: Remote (US)</li><li>Type: Full-time</li><li>Reports to: VP of Product / Head of Product</li><li>Compensation: Competitive salary commensurate with experience<br><br></li></ul><div><strong>How to Apply<br></strong><br></div><div>Send us your portfolio. We want to see real shipped work, especially anything involving payments, donations, or financial products. Tell us what you designed, what decisions you made, and what happened after it shipped.<br><br></div><div>Candidates must be based in the United States and be available for meetings during standard business hours for client and team meetings. Specific times vary based on client-specific timezone preferences. There is flexibility in working hours, but there is an expectation to be able to regularly attend client and team meetings.</div>
