Staff Designer

Design is what Squarespace is known for. We go to great lengths to ensure every touchpoint of the product and brand is as beautiful and impactful as possible. As a modern creative organization, we hire aesthetically-driven designers who have a strong process that can be applied across a range of deliverables.

We are seeking an experienced and visionary Staff Designer who will be instrumental in taking our digital design projects from concept to launch. This role calls for a senior professional with a profound understanding of the web design landscape and the ability to inspire teams to achieve outstanding results. Our most senior designers set the vision for projects, enforce our high design standards, and mentor other designers to make sure we're meeting them. You will help define and guide the design direction, user experience and evolution of squarespace.com and other digital brand campaigns.

You will be challenged in an organization that values both vision and execution. You will take ownership of the digital space by solving complex problems with thoughtful, elegant solutions. You will stay up to date on design and technology trends to ensure our projects are cutting-edge and resonate with current and future audiences. You have a strong background in visual, web, and interaction design and impeccable taste in typography. You are comfortable working closely with producers, designers, product managers, engineers, and product marketing and you're comfortable presenting work to executive stakeholders and delivering feedback to teams.
