Our customers are vocal. Our roadmap moves fast. Feel free to join one of our upcoming public, bi-weekly Town Halls to get a glimpse of it for yourself: https://hsptb.com/twnhll About the role We are looking for our first Head of Design to own the craft, the standard, and the team behind every screen a host touches. Your mission: make Hospitable the best-designed product in short-term rental software—not "good enough for a PMS," but a product people choose because using it feels effortless. You will build and lead a small team of product designers, and you will keep your own hands on the work. You will report to the CEO, Pierre, whose favorite fruit is Kiwi. This is a player-coach role, not a manager-of-managers role. If you want to stop designing and only run a team, this isn't it. If you want to set the bar with your own work and raise everyone else's, keep reading. What you will own The design vision and standard Own and set the overall design vision for the product, aligned with the company's long-term strategy, not just where it is today. Every designer will execute against the direction you set.  Lead the design of the entire platform and own the quality bar end to end, making every interaction intuitive, every screen elegant, every feature a joy to use. Keep shipping. Lead the highest-stakes design work yourself—from discovery and research through prototyping, visual design, and interaction design. The design system Own the design language, style guide, and component library—the system the rest of the team builds within. Keep it coherent as the platform and team grow. Reduce complexity as a discipline. Kill inconsistency before it compounds. The team Develop and lead a deliberately lean, AI-leveraged design team and set how design operates here. From day one you're directing the work, running quality control, and raising the standard of what ships. Raise the standard of everyone around you through direct feedback and high expectations—the kind that makes designers do the best work of their careers. Partner as an equal with Product and Engineering leadership to decide what we build, not just how it looks. Data-informed decisions Use research, analytics, experimentation, and direct customer feedback to make design calls and prove impact.
