Director of UX, Flywheel (Internal Systems)

The HubSpot Product team is passionate about helping small and medium-sized businesses grow better by building a CRM platform that helps them market, sell, and support their customers and teams. 

Our Flywheel Product Line is looking for an experienced UX Design Leader to help us scale. Flywheel is responsible for driving HubSpot’s own business growth and customer delight. The Flywheel is HubSpot’s foundational philosophy to help Millions of Organizations Grow Better by attracting, engaging, and delighting customers. We do that by building world-class easy to use tooling to power HubSpot's marketing, sales, services, partners and operations teams to engage, nurture, and delight their own customers. 

The Director of UX for the Flywheel Product Group will be responsible for making HubSpot’s company goals a reality by building enterprise grade tooling to scale HubSpot’s internal customer focused organizations and external partner experience.

The Flywheel Product Line extends HubSpot’s product for our Enterprise needs by uniting deep systems knowledge with business partnerships and technology solutions, leaning in heavily to utilizing AI to gain efficiencies. We know that to scale effectively the business needs to be fitter, faster and smarter. We believe the way to do this is through removing unnecessary enterprise and system complexity through delightful and easy to use experiences. The group is laser-focused on creating system experiences that enable HubSpotters to spin our flywheel faster.

As HubSpot continues to scale from $1B ARR and 100k+ customers, we are looking for an UX Leader to evolve our systems to support Enterprise needs for both HubSpot and our upmarket customers.
