Product Designer

Location: New York City Type: Full-time Compensation: $120K-$150K + equity

About GovDash

We've scaled from 0 to millions in ARR in 18 months, with a customer base that includes established contractors across the country. Backed by a $10M Series A from Northzone, Y Combinator, and other top investors, GovDash is transforming the way contractors operate nationwide.

Why This Role Matters

We're looking for a Product Designer to own the end-to-end design process - from problem discovery to polished UI. You'll work directly with the CEO and engineering team to turn complex workflows into intuitive, high-leverage tools. This is an opportunity to shape the product and design culture at a company solving a massive, underserved problem.

What You'll Do

• Lead design for core product initiatives across our capture, proposal and contract clouds
• Collaborate with engineering to define scope, user flows, and UX patterns
• Build and maintain a design system that balances speed with scalability
• Conduct user research with government contractors to validate assumptions and refine solutions
• Translate ambiguous problems into structured, elegant and simple interfaces
• Ship fast, iterate based on feedback, and own outcomes

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience designing B2B SaaS or workflow-heavy products
• Strong portfolio showing UX thinking, systems design, and visual polish
• Comfortable working in Figma and collaborating closely with engineers
• Bias toward action and clarity - can make decisions with incomplete information
• Experience in early-to-mid stage startups
• Bonus: familiarity with govtech, compliance, or AI/ML interfaces (not required)

Why Join Us

• High ownership: You'll shape the product and user experience from the ground up
• Speed: We ship weekly and iterate fast
• Impact: Our customers are mission-critical businesses with real-world needs
• Culture: Transparent, ambitious, and execution-focused
• Equity: Meaningful ownership in a venture-backed company
