Web Designer

San Francisco, California; New York, New York;

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast—with more than 20 million users worldwide—and are excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

About the role:

It's critical that Notion's website tells a clear story about the product and the value and transformation it makes possible for teams and companies. Given Notion's broad flexibility, it's also important that we tell a compelling story to specific audiences based on user persona, industry, geographic location, and more. Our website is the most important and versatile tool we have to personalize this experience for the millions of visitors it attracts every month, and route them to the right products and plans for them.

Success in this role will involve elevating and evolving the Notion brand across new and existing web experiences, leading the design of new web projects, and maintaining quality as our website grows. It will also involve collaborating with product marketing, engineering, and growth teams to ensure we’re telling Notion’s story in a compelling way.

We’re at an exciting stage as a team where we’ve built out the foundational pieces of our marketing website. Our next focus is on refinement and taking the user experience to the next level. We’re looking for someone who cares deeply about quality and craft and wants to push the boundaries of what a modern marketing experience looks and feels like.

What you’ll achieve:

• Elevate and evolve the Notion brand across new and existing web experiences.
• Craft every detail of web projects, from initial idea through delivery.
• Tend to the garden. Maintain quality as our website grows, and build scalable design systems to ensure continued success.
• Join a team of designers and illustrators within Creative Studio who shape everything from the website to social media to swag, to Notion templates, to gifs, to videos, and more.
• Collaborate with marketing, product, and growth teams to create alignment on messaging and overall solutions
• Get to know our users, employees, and candidates to help create experiences that will deepen their relationship with us and leave lasting, memorable impressions.
• Create systems that will help folks across the org access and self-serve the materials they need to tell compelling stories and relay the brand in their everyday work.
• Devise new ways to introduce people to Notion and bring them into what our brand stands for, what they can expect from the product experience, and what it can mean for them.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior designers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth within the Creative Studio team

Skills you’ll need to bring:

• 6-8 years of expertise of designing for the web platform and it’s opportunities and constraints.
• Proficiency with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (we use TypeScript) and engineering fundamentals like Git.
• Experience working with a front-end framework such as React or Vue (we use React + Next.js).
• Familiarity with structured data and headless CMS platforms like Contentful.
• An interest in design systems and building a reusable component-based system that can truly scale.
• Ability to spot and engage with creative uses of technology and prototyping outside the website to address innovation efforts, customer delight, internal process optimization, scaling opportunities, and more
• Motivation to maximize business impact, and the ability to role up one's sleeves and get scrappy to make it happen.
• A good understanding of accessibility and a willingness to advocate for it.
• Hunger for feedback and rapid growth - a desire to review work, mentor others, and co-create with partners from different background and expertises.
• Passionate about getting creative, reasoning from first principles, and not just building things because other companies like us have in past. You love to reach for the fresh and bold.
• A brand mindset that gets excitement and joy out of telling stories in new ways and trying new things that haven't been seen before on a SaaS website ✨
• Energy around collaborating with artists, writers, other designers, as well as engineers.

We hire talented and passionate people from a variety of backgrounds because we want our global employee base to represent the wide diversity of our customers. If you’re excited about a role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every bullet point listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply.
