About the Role
Were looking for several Staff Product Designers to help shape the future of HubSpots product experiences. These are senior individual contributor roles for designers who operate at both strategic and executional altitudes. You will lead complex ambiguous problem spaces influence cross-functional direction and raise the quality bar across teams.
Staff designers at HubSpot are systems thinkers craft leaders and force multipliers. They drive clarity where there is ambiguity connect surface-level decisions to long-term strategy and help teams build cohesive experiences at scale.
This role may align to different product areas across the organization. While domains may vary the expectations of impact leadership and craft excellence remain consistent.
At the Staff level we expect designers to:
- Own outcomes not just outputs
- Think beyond their immediate team to drive ecosystem-level coherence
- Proactively identify and solve problems before they escalate
- Elevate others through mentorship and craft leadership
- Make principled tradeoffs that balance speed quality and long-term scalability
Some current focus areas include our AI Mobile strategy Data Platform Marketing Hub Design Systems Flywheel and Fintech. Well figure out what matches your career interests together!

- Lead design for large complex and ambiguous problem spaces
- Translate company strategy into coherent experience strategy
- Identify opportunities that cut across teams and advocate for cohesive solutions
Design AI-Powered and Intelligent Experiences
- Lead the design of AI-enabled features and workflows including generative and predictive experiences
- Translate complex AI capabilities into intuitive trustworthy user experiences
- Define patterns for transparency explainability feedback loops and human-in-the-loop systems
- Establish design principles for AI usage across surfaces and teams
Elevate Craft and Systems Thinking

- Ensure solutions scale across surfaces and use cases
- Contribute to and evolve design systems patterns and shared frameworks
- Raise the quality bar through critique feedback and modeling excellence

- Influence without authority by building trust and clarity
Connect Research Data and Design
- Leverage qualitative and quantitative insights to inform decisions

What Were Looking For
- We typically hire people with 8-10 years of product design experience with demonstrated impact in complex product environments but we care less about years of experience and more about impact - show us what makes you a Staff level Designer!
- Experience leading end-to-end design for high-impact initiatives - were looking for more than people who just deliver features - were looking for people who can own strategy and deliver designs that create customer joy
- Strong systems thinking and ability to design across workflows not just screens - HubSpots products are interconnected so you have to be able to open your aperture and think across wide surface areas.
- Demonstrated ability to influence strategy and cross-functional direction - You can seamlessly move between looking across large surface areas and small details and make things feel easy (even though we know they arent always)
- Excellence in interaction design visual design and product thinking - you can walk the walk we cant wait to see your work!
- Experience mentoring designers and raising team-wide craft standards - we want Staff Designers who love to mentor and shape teams and share their knowledge - force multiplication!
- Comfort navigating ambiguity and defining structure where none exists - we deal with lots of ambiguity because there isnt someone telling us what to build (other than our customers!) so if you dont like having to find your way through ambiguous spaces you might not want to apply for this one. Our Senior Product Designer II role might be a better match!
- Strong storytelling and communication skills - you have to get buy-in for your vision across teams and that comes from telling a story that shares how you will impact customer outcomes
