Senior Product Designer

The YouVersion Senior Product Designer I focuses primarily on delivering well-executed design concepts and solutions to key stakeholders while creating more opportunities for people to find intimacy with God. This role uses research and intuition to help explain highly complex matters in a clear, understandable manner and ensure smooth delivery of concepts to the next stage of the design process. The Product Designer will deliver design concepts and solutions that equip teams and ministries to further Life.Church’s mission and reach people for Christ. 

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.
