When we first started Hard Problems, we thought the biggest barrier for designers and PMs was that there simply weren't enough opportunities to apply their skills to meaningful problems. We're not so sure about that anymore.
Every day, we spend about two hours trawling the web for great roles — and lately we've been finding more than 20 a day, for designers at every level. These aren't just any jobs. They're at nonprofits, governments, and companies doing incredible work in healthcare, public health, climate tech, clean energy, education, and government services.
We think that the work you want to do exists. Our job is to make sure you hear about it.
📨 Custom daily alerts
We make it easy to find a gig that matches your criteria. Go to the jobs board, use the filters to narrow by location, seniority, and area of design, then set up a daily email. You'll get a simple alert whenever matching jobs are posted. We will never spam you.
🫴 Add jobs you find
We want your help. If you spot a great job, send us the URL and we'll add it quickly. Just click "Submit a job" on the jobs board.
🙌 Better filters
You can now filter by region and by country — so if you're in Europe, you can track jobs across the EU.
💓 Fewer stale jobs
We now automatically remove most jobs that have closed for applications.
