  • Own the usability of your product line(s) to uphold HubSpot’s differentiation in the market
  • Measure product quality and make sure it meets high bar of quality for release

  • Support and empower autonomous teams to succeed by:
  • Managing cross-disciplinary professionals spanning UX research, product design, and content design
  • Helping frame the customer problem
  • Providing guidance about how to measure outcomes
  • Developing ICs and front line managers
  • Executing on each phase of HubSpot’s fundamental performance management lifecycle
  • Creating and fostering a psychologically safe and inclusive team
  • Partner with UX leadership to reinforce the vision, strategy and values of the UX org to help HubSpot UX become a world class team
  • Collaborate with Recruiting to build an exceptional and diverse team


We’re looking for those who have:

  • Strong, demonstrable experience delivering successful and intuitive products⁠ — we value consumer-grade experience in solving enterprise-level problems 
  • Worked closely with product and engineering leaders to establish objectives, high-level strategies, and key results for a group of UX practitioners
  • Set UX practitioners up to identify and drive impact that is great for our customers and good for business
  • A developed sense for how to balance speed, quality, and consistency of design 
  • Experience coaching a broad spectrum of specialist UX practitioners like product designers, content designers, and user researchers
  • The ability to provide thoughtful feedback on work as well as identify overlaps and efficiencies between team members’ projects
  • Extensive experience providing mentorship, goal-setting, growth coaching, and accountability to UX practitioners and managers
  • Confidence delivering clear, direct and actionable feedback and won’t shy away from confronting difficult situations or increasing communication when there’s friction or uncertainty
  • Success collaborating with other leaders to develop a product design vision and convey the strategy to their team in a way that influences execution
  • An understanding of how to foster team health and bring a sense of mission to your group and to the broader UX team
