Form of workHi, Future Homie!
As a Homie, you'll be part of an unstoppable team that puts customers first, embraces each day with excitement, and strives for excellence in everything you do. We're revolutionizing the way small businesses manage their teams and grow their business. What this means for you is a shared passion for innovation and making a difference for the people we serve. 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 skilled and mission-driven Product Designer who wants to make a difference in the lives of the small business owners and employees we serve.

You'll partner with engineers, product managers, and other designers to shape the Homebase roadmap and deliver meaningful outcomes for our customers.
You have a strong understanding of information architecture and designing for context across devices and channels. You thrive on breaking down complexity into workflows that feel simple, knowing that our users don't have time to read long manuals. You are a systems thinker who brings your knowledge of people and technology together, and you understand how to articulate a long-term vision and iterate towards it.
You'll look proactively across our different product areas to define how our offerings work together from a workflow, information architecture, and interaction design lens, and you'll translate that into high-quality final designs that our customers will love.
You'll also take a leadership role in design critique and help implement the long-term vision for the Homebase Design Team, influencing your colleagues through qualitative and quantitative data as well as generally-accepted best practices.
