JustFix is seeking a full-time Product Design Lead to shape the digital tools we build with tenants, tenant organizers, and legal advocates fighting displacement in NYC. Reporting to the Co-Executive Director, the Product Design Lead will have a huge impact on driving JustFix’s ambitious mission and roadmap.
The Product Design Lead will own the direction and execution of all full-stack design projects across our evolving product portfolio. From guiding generative research to producing engineering ready deliverables, you’ll be central to developing our vision for new 0→1 products and for steering long-term product iteration. You’ll be responsible for creating services and experiences that are exceptionally usable, which empower our users, and that provide pathways to real-world impact. To do this you’ll develop deep subject matter expertise in NYC’s complex housing landscape and be an integral voice in shaping our strategy.
Success in this role is defined by your ability to design best-in-class digital products, and to lead the research and design process that produce those products. The ideal candidate is a deeply collaborative teammate who thrives in a problem-solving, small team environment. We’re looking for a trusted facilitator who can coordinate work across disciplines to identify and answer questions that move our work forward. If this sounds like you, and you’re excited to work with us and with leaders in the tenant movement, we encourage you to apply and build technology for housing justice.

This is not a traditional tech environment — which is precisely why we love what we do. As a non-profit, we aren’t driven by monetization or rapid growth. We don’t sell our products or share user data. We are driven by the desire to positively impact our communities in collaboration with our partners, with the goal of upending systemic inequities in housing and beyond. As a small and agile team, we have the freedom to question and redefine traditional practices and are continuously pushing and evolving our strategies and methodologies. If this environment sounds exciting and you want to shape the future of how design, technology, and partnership intersect in the housing justice movement, this organization is for you.
Salary is $105,000 annually for 40 hours a week (full time, exempt) including full health (medical, vision, dental) insurance, and all benefits listed in the “Why Work for JustFix.”
JustFix is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that co-creates tools with tenants, organizers, and legal advocates to fight displacement and achieve healthy, affordable, stable housing for all.
