Job description
Lead Product Designer
Portland, OR | Bozeman, MT | Boise, ID | NYC, NY
Location: This is a hybrid role. Our hubs are Portland, New York City, Boise, and Bozeman. Reports to: CPO Compensation: $190,000–$210,000 base salary, plus equity
Who you'd be joining
AI has made it much faster for go-to-market teams to create content, campaigns, and sales materials. But speed only helps if the work reflects what buyers actually think.
GetWhys helps teams check their work against insights from real B2B buyers. Those insights come from our proprietary buyer intelligence database, built from research interviews, and every one can be traced back to its original source.
We're VC-backed and growing quickly—our ARR grew 10x in 2025. Our customers include Docusign, Intel, Commvault, Verizon, and Twilio. We're a team of nearly 20 and are hiring across the company.
We're a hybrid company, with hubs in Portland, New York City, Boise, and Bozeman. Our strong preference is to have someone in one of those hubs. We like working together, we take the work seriously, and we also expect people to have lives outside of it. We have artists, chefs, cyclists, dancers, and ultramarathoners on our team, and we'd love for you to bring yourself to it.
The role
We're hiring our lead product designer.
You'll own design across the product, from early ideas through the details that make it into customers' hands. You'll also help us establish the design practices, systems, and standards we don't yet have.
The product itself presents an unusual design challenge. Some customers work directly in GetWhys to build and manage their company's buyer intelligence. Many users instead encounter that intelligence inside tools they already use, such as Claude and Slack.
You'll help us make those experiences feel like parts of one coherent product.
We're a highly autonomous team. We move quickly, make judgment calls with incomplete information, and don't have a mature design process yet. We're looking for someone who likes that stage: a hands-on designer who can do excellent work while introducing just enough structure to help the whole team get better.
What you'll do
Lead product design from early exploration through final implementation
Improve the usability and visual quality of our existing product
Design experiences across the GetWhys platform and the tools where our intelligence appears
Build a practical design system that helps us move faster and stay consistent
Work closely with product and engineering to decide what we build, not just how it looks
Give clear feedback, explain your reasoning, and raise the quality bar across the company
Be a strong partner for product in proactively answering questions for engineering
Shape our approach to UX and UI
Help lay the foundation for a future design team while remaining deeply hands-on
Who you are
You are passionate about something outside of work. We believe everyone works best when they have multiple interests
You have ~5 or more years of product design experience
You have strong portfolio showing thoughtful end-to-end product work and excellent visual craft
You have experience designing complex software, workflows, or systems—not just isolated screens
You're okay being wrong. An imperfect decision early or on time is better than the right decision too late
You want to work with an extremely high performing team.
You have experience with AI tools, both within and without the design process
You can turn ambiguous problems into clear, useful experiences
You demonstrate strong judgment and the confidence to advocate for your point of view
You enjoy a collaborative working style: you can push back, explain why, and change your mind when the evidence calls for it
You have experience building or contributing to design systems
You're comfortable working independently in a fast-moving environment
Experience as an early designer at a startup is a plus.
This is probably a particularly good fit if you enjoy doing the work yourself and want meaningful influence over both the product and how a company approaches design. If you're primarily looking to manage a team, it's probably not the right role.
Benefits
Medical, dental, and vision insurance (90% of your deductible, 75% of your dependents)
401(k) with a 3% company match
Unlimited PTO, with an expected minimum of 10 business days each year
18 company holidays
12 weeks of paid parental leave
A permanently remote-friendly workplace with no required number of office days (though if you live in a hub, we hope you'll join us in person sometimes!)
Regular team and company-wide in-person gatherings
Meaningful equity and the opportunity to define design at a growing company
