Zusammenfassung

Hospitable, a remote-only global startup, seeks a Head of Design to own craft, standards, and a small design team. You will shape the design language and lead across discovery to shipped features, working as an equal with Product and Engineering to decide what gets built.

You will drive research, analytics, and experimentation to prove design impact while maintaining hands-on design work over the last three years. This role offers international contractor or full-time opportunities.

Qualifikationen

• Design leader with recent SaaS product experience and a track record of raising design quality.
• End-to-end ownership from discovery to shipped features, with measurable impact.
• Hands-on in the craft within the last 3 years; not pure management.
• Strong research and briefing skills; able to partner with Product and Engineering.
• Comfort working in a lean, AI-enabled setup in a remote, low-bureaucracy environment.

Aufgaben

• Own and set the overall design vision for the product, aligned with the company's long-term strategy.
• Lead the design of the entire platform and own the quality bar end to end, making every interaction intuitive, every screen elegant, and every feature a joy to use.
• Lead the highest-stakes design work yourself— from discovery and research through prototyping, visual design, and interaction design.
• Own the design language, style guide, and component library.
• Reduce complexity as a discipline and kill inconsistency before it compounds.
• Develop and lead a deliberately lean, AI-leveraged design team and set how design operates.
• Direct the work, run quality control, and raise the standard of what ships.
• Partner as an equal with Product and Engineering leadership to decide what is built.
• Use research, analytics, experimentation, and direct customer feedback to make design calls and prove impact.
