So what do you say, will you join us on our mission to empower small businesses?


Why We Need You:


We are looking for a Product Design leader who wants to make a difference in the lives of the small business owners and employees we serve.

You'll report to our Head of Product Design and be crucial to growing our design culture and practice at Homebase.


This role is a 1-year contract assignment.

  • You'll lead a small team of individual contributors and ensure the team balances quality and speed in deliverables. You'll support their career growth and provide clear, directional coaching to help them do the best work of their careers. You'll assist with overall Design headcount planning, balancing your team's allocation to support company goals.
  • You'll be on point for communicating design & product strategy to your team, to your peers, and your stakeholders. You'll set a highquality bar for what we ship to drive great customer & business outcomes.
  • You'll take a leadership role in design critique and help create the longterm vision for the Homebase Design Team, influencing your colleagues through qualitative and quantitative data as well as generally accepted best practices.

Experience & Attributes You Bring

  • You facilitate great relationships between designers, product managers, and others.
  • You're comfortable working in an embedded model meaning designers, PMs, and engineers work together to set strategy and execute.

  • You can clearly express your desired UX metrics and create a plan to develop and evaluate them.
  • You demonstrate a sense of ownership and accountability for the team's work and outcomes — the good and the bad.
