Who We Are: 

Omaze is an online fundraising platform that's reinventing charitable giving by making it fun and easy for anyone to give. From once-in-a-lifetime experiences with the world's most influential people to original t-shirts designed and made with love, everything at Omaze connects influencers, nonprofits and donors in support of incredible causes.

Leveraging storytelling, social media marketing, celebrity influence, data science and exclusive merchandise, we help charities raise more funds and awareness so they can create greater impact than they ever have before.

Our campaigns have benefited over 200 nonprofits—through experiences like winning a walk-on role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and getting interviewed by Jon Stewart, and exclusive t-shirts like Samantha Bee’s “Nasty Woman” and Shailene Woodley’s “I Stand with Standing Rock.” Our incredible community has raised millions for amazing organizations and generated significant awareness by regularly appearing in outlets like the Today Show, Vanity Fair, CNN, Good Morning America, Jimmy Kimmel and many others.

If your heart is beating faster now than it was before you started reading this, we’d love for you to join our team!

Who We’re Seeking:

Omaze is looking for an experienced, visionary, and collaborative User Experience leader to help us define the future of charitable giving.

We have big ambitions. Great ideas. Exciting plans. And we need your help to ensure we deliver a fantastic user experience to our (amazing) customers.

User Experience at Omaze is a balance of art, science, commerce and psychology. It’s hands-on and cross-functional. You take the work of others and amplify it, make it bigger and better than it would have been on its own. Think “Visionary problem-solver.” Think “creative amplifier.” You’ll fuse work from Product, Growth, Data Science and Engineering, and come out the other end with an experience that’s intuitive, efficient, approachable, engaging and uniquely Omaze.

Oh, and your work? It does real, meaningful good in the world. (Trust us: that feels great.)

Still with us? Excellent. Let’s talk specifics.

The successful candidate will be:

  • Experienced. You've designed and shipped scads of Web experiences that have been used at scale. You know how to blend art and commerce to make something that’s delightful and commercially effective.
  • Creative. You always see possibilities. You’ve got new takes on old problems. Finding a fresh way forward gets you out of bed in the morning.
  • Data Driven. Your experiences aren’t just good because they’re beautiful – they’re good because the data says so, too.
  • Accountable. You deliver reliably, and with minimal drama.
  • Hands-on. You may be a manager, but you love getting your hands into the work.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Ensure Omaze customers have a great user experience across all our products and features.
  • Manage the UX team. Get the best from your people. Be able to hire and retain great talent. 
  • Design and deliver new products and capabilities. Work across the company to build the right thing, the right way, and land it on time. Lead project teams through the holistic design process: research, wireframes, comps, execution.
  • Experiment & test. Conduct usability tests, and make concrete recommendations based on test results. Iterate on prototypes. Ensure Omaze’s experiences are "provably great."
  • Strengthen, deepen and grow the UX discipline at Omaze. Continuously improve our UI and UX standards. Stay current on trends and customer feedback.

Our Ideal Candidate:

  • You have at least 5-7 years of professional, titled UX experience in a software or e-commerce organization.
  • You have at least three years of professional managerial experience.
  • You have deep experience designing for the mobile Web. (Bonus points for iOS or Android experience.)
  • You have designed and shipped consumer e-commerce experiences that have been used at scale.
  • You have a long track record of data-driven decision making.
  • You’re exceptionally organized, efficient, and able to drive projects cross-functionally.
  • You know how to work in an Agile environment.
  • You’re a wizard with design and prototyping tools – InVision, Zeplin, Illustrator, Photoshop.
  • You have outstanding communication skills.
  • You’re a thought leader, and a persuasive evangelist for great UX practices.
  • You have a bachelor’s degree in human-computer interaction, interaction design, or a related field. (Master’s degree a plus.)

To Apply:

Tell us a little bit about yourself and why you would be an ideal fit. Include your dream Omaze experience and which cause it would benefit.
