Product Designer, Discovery

Overview

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 fans and build a lasting business including: paid memberships, free memberships, community chats, live video, 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:

• $10 billion+ generated by creators since Patreon's inception

• 100 million+ free memberships for fans who may not be ready to pay just yet, and

• 25 million+ paid memberships on Patreon today.

Your work may span long-term fan journeys, creator workflows, and cross-functional initiatives that shape how affinity for creators grows across multiple touchpoints.

You’ll be part of a small collaborative design team, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and Research to bring clarity to ambiguous opportunities, design high-impact experiences, and ensure they launch with polish and purpose.
