Design at Highspot
We are a robust centralized design team where all creative functions mingle and have purview across the entire company. Product designers, hyper-focused on delivering a world-class product that reps love, collaborate with visual designers that are always pushing our brand in innovative ways, challenging every pixel. Our digital media designers create compelling story-driven content using critical insights provided by our user experience researchers that allow us to experiment and push for quality over quantity. Our design operations folks remove barriers, enable us to all do our best work, and build connections within and without the team.
Together, we are a team that designs together, one that empowers and lifts each other up, and that fosters trust not only in ourselves but trust in our team. A culture of openness, honesty and the ability to provide and receive constructive feedback are important to us. Communication and collaboration are key.
We also believe that great teams are inclusive in their composition. Being surrounded by a diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives bring out the best in everyone and lead to higher-quality products and experiences.
About the Role
We are seeking a driven design “conductor” that has that perfect balance of skills to drive the project forward, manage the team to make it happen, and willingness to roll up their sleeves to get those last few pesky pixels into place. This person is experienced with shepherding designs from initial ideation, through rapid iteration, to pixel-perfect implementation. As a seasoned manager, they will have the opportunity to hire senior designers and craft a team of their own.
This candidate should have a passion for usability, an eye for visual consistency, and a knack for reducing the complex to the bare essentials. He or she is an effective diplomat with strong communication and organization skills who is willing to advocate for the design position in the face of senior balancing points from product management and engineering leadership. “World-class” is the bar and this candidate has the desire to take us there!
