Company mission
Alignable's mission is to bring together small business owners from across the globe to help them gain competitive advantage so they can succeed in their business.
Role
Who you are
- 2–4 years of UX/Product Design experience creating consumer-facing products (experience with small business (SMB) users strongly preferred; enterprise-only experience is not a fit)
- A strong online portfolio showcasing shipped, user-centric designs, with clear case studies demonstrating your process, decisions, and impact
- Proven success working cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Marketing in a product-led, fast-paced environment
- Figma proficiency and experience with design systems
- A growth mindset, ownership mentality, and strong communication skills
- Experience designing for social networking or referral-driven platforms is a plus
- User Research: Skilled in gathering, conducting, and applying insights to drive design decisions
- Wireframing & Prototyping: Ability to quickly develop and iterate on concepts
- User Journey Mapping & Requirements Gathering: Turn user and business needs into intuitive experiences
- User Testing: Plan, conduct, and synthesize testing for continuous improvement
- Data-Informed Design: Comfortable working with analytics and behavioral data to refine UX
- Empathy for SMB Users: Able to design simple, elegant experiences for non-tech-savvy small business owners
- Context Switching: Manage multiple projects, both strategic and tactical, and connect the dots between micro and macro UX
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Product Designer who’s passionate about helping small businesses succeed to join our team at an exciting time of transformation
- Alignable has recently evolved from a social platform into a powerful SaaS product that enables small business owners to network smarter and grow faster
- In this role, you’ll help shape tools and experiences that connect members with the right partners and customers, surface meaningful insights, and drive real business outcomes
- As a Product Designer, you’ll lead design within a cross-functional squad, collaborating closely with Product Management, Engineering, Data Science, Analytics, and Marketing to deliver intuitive, high-impact solutions
- You’ll use your UX and UI expertise to craft seamless, user-friendly experiences that simplify networking and empower small business owners to thrive
- Through regular engagement with our members, you’ll uncover their needs and turn insights into thoughtful design improvements that deliver value for both users and the business
- As an early member of our Product Design team, you’ll also influence how we work—refining design processes, shaping team culture, and championing user-centered thinking across the company
- This is a unique opportunity to take on complex design challenges in a product that’s redefining how small businesses build relationships and grow through smarter networking
- Champion UX: Advocate for user-centric design across teams, from early concepts to final execution
- Understand Members: Regularly engage with SMB users to translate their needs into intuitive, impactful designs
- Iterate Fast: Thrive in a dynamic environment with quick design cycles and constant learning
Our take
Building and maintaining a small business is no easy task, especially in more turbulent macroeconomic conditions. As many small businesses face an uncertain future, Alignable supplies a solution for owners to build stronger relationships with other SMBs, and support each other's endeavours.
Put simply, Alignable is a social network for small business owners. It boasts 8 million users, making it the largest SMB referral network in the world, and creates value by enabling users to generate and share leads, build relationships and offer advice to one another.
Lately, it seems Alignable has been focussed on expansion, making efforts to scale its workforce and grow its outreach and user base. With such a unique offering, the company has a clear opportunity for impact as well as the chance to consolidate its market lead.
