About You:

You’re looking to join a customer and product focused company where you’ll support a team of passionate individuals as you deliver the best product possible to help a mission driven organization Grow Better. You’re seeking an opportunity where you’ll:

• Have a “seat at the table” from Day 1. Your partners and peers know what you do, greatly value it, and expect you to have strong opinions.
• Co-own a significant part of the product with your partners and you’ll all have the autonomy you need to drive its strategy and vision.
• Be building a critical product and team within a scaling organization - we don’t have all the answers and we’re counting on you to help explore the right problems 
• Be able to work where and how you work best: at home, the office, or any mix of both

About the area you’d be working on:  

Our Developer Product Group is pioneering the future of our HubSpot customer platform, empowering external developers to create groundbreaking integrations and custom solutions. We're building a robust ecosystem that extends our product's capabilities and fosters a thriving community of developers.

In this role you’ll get to:

• Lead the UX Vision: Define and drive the user experience strategy for the developer platform, ensuring a seamless, intuitive, and delightful experience for developers of all levels.
• Champion UI Craft Excellence: Set a high bar for UI design and interaction patterns, ensuring a visually appealing and engaging platform that inspires developers.
• Manage the UX Team: Lead, mentor, and motivate a team of UX designers and researchers dedicated to crafting exceptional developer experiences.
• Drive User-Centered Design: Embed user research and testing throughout the design process, ensuring the platform evolves with the needs of developers.
• Orchestrate End-to-End Developer Journeys: Map and optimize the complete developer experience, from onboarding to integration deployment, ensuring a smooth and successful path.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner closely with product managers, engineers, and developer advocates to define requirements, prioritize features, and guarantee flawless execution.
• Pioneer Future-Looking Concepts: Explore and experiment with emerging technologies and design trends to envision the next generation of developer experiences.
• Advocate for Developers: Be the voice of the developer within the organization, championing their needs and ensuring they are met.
• Drive design consistency and scalability: You’ll establish design systems and guidelines that ensure consistency and scalability across the developer platform experience.
• Measure and Iterate: Define key metrics for developer experience success and leverage data to drive continuous improvement.

We are looking for people who have:

• Proven UX Leadership: Proven experience leading UX teams, within a developer platform or enterprise software environment.
• A keen eye for detail and design aesthetics: A Senior UX Manager should possess a discerning eye for visual design, typography, layout, and overall aesthetics, ensuring that the developer platform is not only functional but also visually appealing and engaging.
• Proficiency in design tools and prototyping: While they may not be actively designing, they should be familiar with industry-standard design and prototyping tools to effectively review and provide feedback on the team's work.
• Deep UX Expertise: A strong foundation in user-centered design principles and methodologies, with a passion for exceptional UI craft.
• A passion for Developers: A genuine interest in understanding and advocating for the needs of developers. Like Balmer, maybe.
• Technical Fluency: The ability to communicate effectively with engineers and comprehend the technical constraints of the platform.
• A visionary Mindset: The ability to envision and articulate future-looking concepts that inspire and motivate teams.
• Excellent Communication Skills: The ability to express complex ideas clearly and persuasively to diverse audiences.
• A data-Driven Mindset: Experience using data to inform design decisions and measure success.
• Adaptability: Thrives in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment.
• A leader who shares our HEART values and practices growth mindset

This role might not be a fit for you if:

• You’ve never managed a team of Designers
• You’re not comfortable critiquing the work of others
• You tend to build in silos, then share more broadly
• You’ve never had Developers as a persona
