- A design-first mindset grounded in deep collaboration with engineers and product managers.
- The ability to build, coach, and retain high-performing teams and foster growth in both ICs and managers.
- Strong judgment in how to balance near-term impact with long-term product health.
- A record of delivering elegant, system-oriented design work that drives both customer success and business outcomes.
- A strong storyteller who can influence at the executive level and build alignment across teams.
- You’ll be joining a company that values UX deeply—with a design org of over 250 designers, researchers, and content strategists.
- You’ll shape customer experiences that directly influence product adoption, retention, and expansion.
- You’ll work on high-visibility challenges that are central to HubSpot’s long-term growth.
