Lead Product Designer

About the Role

We’re looking to grow our Product Design practice area by adding a lead product designer to our lean team. This team works across most project areas at Hummingbird—from our brand voice and website to our enterprise-grade product. We agonize over and take pride in crafting user-friendly and user-focused experiences. As a product designer at Hummingbird, you’ll drive new product strategy, development and execution.

What you’re looking to do:

• Lead a talented team of designers, fostering a collaborative and innovative environment to drive exceptional product design outcomes
• Specialize in our core web product and work closely with engineers and product managers to define both the long-term strategy and the short-term tactics for that product
• Oversee the design team's workflow, ensuring alignment with project goals and timelines while promoting professional growth and development
• Work on very broadly defined, loose concepts, and sometimes on narrowly defined, tactical deliverables
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering and Customer Experience on everything from developing and growing our product design systems to supporting user research via UX /UI projects
• Participate in design reviews and share your work regularly with the design and company leadership

What we’re looking for:

• Can reduce complex problems down to the right balance of flexibility, power, and ease of use
• Have experience designing for business and developer-focused products
• Are skilled in explaining your work, process, and decisions to cross-functional partners and crave feedback to help you produce your best work. Nothing is precious to you in the pursuit of the best design.
• Think in systems and are able to extrapolate and extend shared patterns and behaviors
• Are uncompromisingly service-minded towards our users and your colleagues, but able to set and achieve priorities that find the perfect balance between benefiting the project, the Design team, and all of Hummingbird
• Consider yourself a product design generalist comfortable fully designing UI/UX and proficient in Figma

What’s in it for you:

• The chance to help build from the ground up. The hires we’re making now are foundational to our growth as a company, so you will have an opportunity to help shape the future of Hummingbird.
• Competitive compensation including cash and equity.
• Remote-first, fully distributed company with flexible working hours.
• Awesome health, vision & dental benefits, and 401k.
• Safe, respectful & comfortable work environment with colleagues and leadership who prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
