About the Work
Planning Center is looking for a Product Designer to join our UX Design team, with a focus on our Church Center product. You'll work day-to-day alongside your product PM and Engineering Manager, while staying plugged into a UX team that does weekly design critiques and genuinely cares about craft. You own the experience from early problem framing all the way to shipped product, across two connected products used by church administrators and the congregants they serve. You'll also take a leading role in evolving Doxy, our design system for Church Center.

Responsibilities
  • Collaborate across multiple disciplines (Product Managers, Engineering, QA, Support Specialists, and other UX Designers)
  • Craft user experiences that are simple and intuitive with our customers in mind
  • Contribute to our design system to support our suite of products
  • Advocate for design strategy in the products you work with

Who We Look For
Beyond your impressive background, you also bring the following:
  • Proven experience that shows both craft depth and systems thinking.
  • Someone who takes ownership of their work and drives it forward independently.
  • A natural collaborator who builds strong working relationships with PMs, engineers, fellow designers, and other disciplines.
  • You explore the products you design for, ask good questions, and come to conversations already having done your homework.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity. You don't need perfect information to move forward.
  • Actively using AI as part of your design process, with the judgment to know when to trust it and when to push back.
  • Ability to communicate design vision and language through design systems.
  • Genuinely curious about the people using your software. 

The best fits for any role on the Planning Center team are people embodying our Core Values:
  • Engage with Humility - We actively participate with openness and receptiveness. We are ready to listen, learn, and speak thoughtfully and kindly—regardless of skill level, expertise, or place on the org chart.
  • Invest in our team - We give our time and energy to our team’s success—improving collaboration with effective communication, making space for diverse perspectives, sharing knowledge, and asking questions.
  • Do Our Best Work - We aspire to do our best possible work—continually looking for ways to improve the quality of our individual output and contribute to our team's overall success and growth.
  • Focus on Customer Impact - We advocate for our customer’s best interests in our decision-making—we can trace the goal of every project back to creating positive value for our customers.
  • Think Holistically, Work Iteratively - We focus on taking practical steps towards our goals with an awareness of the broader context—thinking big, working small.

We believe the strongest teams comprise people with diverse backgrounds and experiences, and we are committed to cultivating that diversity here at Planning Center. We're building an inclusive, supportive place for you to do your best work.
