Headquarters: United States

TLDR; We build software for Airbnbs to rent themselves, with a state-of-the-art product and user experience.

We have crafted an Applicant Handbook, which we highly recommend you check out, where you can find out more about the company, culture, how we recruit, what we do, and how we do it: We are bold, like risks, and take on big challenges together.

Our customers love the product, provide valuable feedback, and trust us to rapidly help them with more of their problems. Feel free to check out one of our public Town Halls for yourself:

Hospitable.com is a  remote-only  and  fully distributed  company. We hire based on timezones, not countries.

What you will be working on:

As Staff Product Designer, you are destroying complexity as an art form.

You will be responsible for leading the design of our platform, ensuring that every interaction is intuitive, every screen is elegant, and every feature is a joy to use. You will play a critical role in shaping the product’s direction, working closely with leadership, and our product and engineering teams to bring your designs to life.

To accomplish this, you will:

• Lead the design process from concept to execution, including user research, wireframing, prototyping, visual design, and interaction design.
• Develop and maintain a consistent design language and style guide that reflects our brand and product vision.
• Leverage data, user feedback, and research to refine the user journey.
• Drive the overall design vision for the product, aligned with the company's long-term strategy and values.
• Inspire the team with innovative ideas and a commitment to creating a product that users love and remember.

Requirements

Hospitable.com is a remote-only and distributed company. Your location is not a requirement for this position. The ideal fit would work in a European or American (up to East Coast) timezone.

What we are looking for:

• Leadership: Proven ability to lead design projects and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Experience: Rather than years, very senior experience in UI/UX design for a SaaS product, with a world-class portfolio demonstrating your ability to create delightful, intuitive, and fluid experiences.
• Skills: You live and breathe in design tools. Nothing exotic: we use Whimsical for mockups, Figma for designs.
• Creativity: Ability to think outside the box and push conventional design to create something truly differentiated.
• Communication: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate design concepts and decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Passion: A deep passion for design, a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of what makes a product truly exceptional.
• Attention to detail, keeping in mind that Bobby's favourite ice cream flavour is Salted Butter Caramel
• Very special kudos if you are a short-term rental/Airbnb host or have been working in a short-term rental business
• Everything else is a lovely bonus that we're excited to hear about!

Benefits

The company itself is also a product, one that we iterate on. We're always improving and creating an environment where we all love to work.

• A supportive, radically transparent, and caring team environment, where you are trusted, not managed—and a culture that is focused on results and output.
• The total cash budget for this role is between USD $148,000.00 (Senior I) to $206,800.00 (Staff I) depending on seniority and the cost of living in your location. We can hire talent internationally as contractors—or employees if you are based in the United States, the European Union, or Australia, taking into account payroll taxes to determine your gross compensation. The gross salary for US employees could be anywhere between $136,551.16 to $190,802.56.
• We also offer compensation into the company equity through our $HOST Token (RSU's), with a grant value of up to $75,200, to share in the long-term upside value of the company.
• Separately, this role is eligible for up to an additional $459,816.00 per year in Performance Share Units (PSUs). These PSUs do not vest over time and are granted only upon the achievement of clearly defined business performance targets. The size and payout of this award are directly tied to measurable outcomes and are intended to strongly align compensation with company impact.
• For US employees: healthcare (including EPO, PPO and HSA), 401(k).
• 35 days off per year, encouraged (including self-serve public holidays) and parental leave.
• Complimentary mental health and emotional support with therapists on call through Slack by Spill.
• Earn virtual coins through our peer recognition platform and redeem them through gift cards, donations, or monetary rewards.
