The Role

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer to join our Foundations team, which is responsible for the systems, patterns, and surfaces that help us build consistent, high-quality experiences. You'll play a leadership role in shaping and evolving Jobber's design system across our entire product suite on multiple platforms. In an evolving age of AI design and development, you will help establish new ways to think about how people and tools incorporate design system ideas into their work. You'll lead major projects and initiatives that raise design standards across the company, improving consistency and team velocity.

Our team collaborates closely with designers, product managers, and engineers across the company. You'll work at the intersection of design, engineering, and systems thinking to help other teams build better experiences, faster, and to turn people's good ideas into great experiences that are easier to build and ship, and that endure over time.

In this role, you will:

• Lead design system initiatives to create systems of components and product-level interaction patterns that scale across platforms
• Be the steward of Jobber's brand and experience principles, helping to foster thoughtful, high-quality visual and interaction design across the company
• Identify gaps in the system and proactively drive solutions that improve consistency and usability at scale, and raise the bar for UX quality
• Define and evolve governance models, contribution processes, and best practices
• Partner closely with Engineering leaders to raise implementation quality across the company, and to improve how we incorporate system best practices into AI-backed design and development tools and workflows
• Collaborate regularly with other designers and embed in product teams to support system adoption, share best practices, and to inform system iteration
• Steer UX quality initiatives and roadmap planning to improve visual design, interaction design, accessibility, usability, and performance
• Mentor others to build a strong culture of collaboration, feedback, and continuous improvement

To be successful, you should have:

• A portfolio demonstrating your design craft, systems thinking, and measurable impact on product quality or team efficiency
• 5-10 years experience designing and evolving design systems, including work on major initiatives like system redesigns or creating new products
• A track record of leading complex projects or initiatives that improved design consistency and quality across an organization

• Deep expertise in interaction design, UI patterns, and visual design
• Deep understanding of accessibility standards across platforms

• Expertise collaborating closely with engineers and understanding how design translates to code
• Strong technical literacy with front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, and frameworks like React)
• Strong expertise with Figma (components, tokens, auto-layout, prototyping)
• Strong opinions about the evolving AI design landscape, including how people design, prototype, share patterns, and document work

• A track record of making effective decisions that scale across organizations, balancing flexibility with standardization

• Proven ability to work cross-functionally across an organization, build alignment with senior leaders, and inform strategy

Bonus Points

• Experience scaling a design system in a fast-growing, multi-product environment
• Experience designing complex software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools for business (B2B), especially for small-business customers (SMB)
• Coding skills including experience with Typescript - ability to implement tokens and improve component quality, hands-on
• Passion for blending roles, extending design into code and vice-versa
