Product Designer

The YouVersion Product Designer plays a critical role in crafting thoughtful, well-executed design solutions that empower our global network of Content Partners—including authors, Bible publishers, and churches—to easily manage and measure the impact of their content. This role helps design powerful web-based tools that support a range of content types through clean interfaces, intuitive dashboards, and smart data visualizations.

This role requires the ability to move fluidly through the entire product design cycle—from early discovery and lightweight user research to wireframing, prototyping, high-fidelity visual design, and detailed engineering handoffs. The Product Designer collaborates closely with the Product, Engineering, and Partner Support teams to uncover needs, identify opportunities, and deliver experiences that help more people around the world find intimacy with God.

YouVersion was created by the local church in 2007 and remains a ministry of Life.Church today. At Life.Church, our mission is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. Our team is committed to reaching people worldwide through innovative technology. And YouVersion is one of the ways we get to do that. Life.Church is a multi-site Christian church meeting in the United States and globally at Life.Church Online. 

We wholeheartedly believe a daily rhythm of seeking intimacy with God has the power to transform lives. That’s why YouVersion creates biblically-based experiences that encourage and challenge people to seek God. We hope everyone in our community is on an active journey to become who God made them to be, abiding in Him, and drawing closer every day.
