Head of Design (North America/Europe - Remote)

TLDR; We build software for short-term rentals to rent themselves, with a state-of-the-art product and user experience. We have crafted an Applicant Handbook, which we highly recommend you check out, where you can find out more about the company, culture, how we recruit, what we do, and how we do it: Hospitable is a remote-only, global, and trust-based company. We believe exceptional work comes from exceptional people — no matter their background, geography, or path. Our team spans continents, cultures, and experiences, and that diversity is one of our biggest advantages. We move fast, think boldly, and build with intention. Our product is loved. Our customers are vocal. Our roadmap moves fast.

Your mission: make Hospitable the best-designed product in short-term rental software—not "good enough for a PMS," but a product people choose because using it feels effortless. You will build and lead a small team of product designers, and you will keep your own hands on the work. You will report to the CEO, Pierre, whose favorite fruit is Kiwi. This is a player-coach role, not a manager-of-managers role. If you want to stop designing and only run a team, this isn't it.

Every designer will execute against the direction you set. Lead the design of the entire platform and own the quality bar end to end, making every interaction intuitive, every screen elegant, every feature a joy to use. Keep shipping. Lead the highest-stakes design work yourself—from discovery and research th
