Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of experience in product design, including 3+ years managing design leaders
- A proven track record of shipping exceptional, user-centered products in high-growth startups
- Deep understanding of interaction design, visual design, and UX research, alongside a sharp product and business sense
- Experience working in AI-enhanced product environments is a strong plus
- A thoughtful approach to design leadership: empowering teams and holding a high craft bar
- Experience collaborating with executive stakeholders and cross-functional teams in complex, high-growth environments
- A portfolio or body of work that shows how your leadership translated to real product impact
- Excellent communication skills in English and Hebrew
- We know experience comes in many forms, some visible on your resume, others not. No one candidate will be a 100% perfect match to our description, so if you thrive in a fast-paced, intellectually-charged environment and have similar experience to what we are looking for, we encourage you to apply
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Head of Design to lead HoneyBook’s growing Product Design team and help define the future of our product experience
- As a senior leader, reporting to the CPO, you will shape the vision, strategy, and operational approach for product design across our product, infusing world-class UX craft and cross-functional collaboration
- You’ll guide a high-performing team of designers and design managers, ensuring our solutions are delightful, intuitive, and empowering to our users
- HoneyBook is redefining how small-business owners run their companies through AI
- Not by sprinkling isolated “smart” features across the product, but by building a true AI Business Partner
- Think of it as an AI Super-Agent: a conversational ally (voice and text) paired with dynamic, generative UI that delivers instant visibility, actionable insights, continuous learning, and hands-on control
- Creating this next-generation SaaS paradigm demands bold, system-level design thinking- exactly where our Head of Product Design will lead the charge
- This is a unique opportunity to impact a beloved product with a strong brand and a deeply engaged user base, while scaling design excellence in a fast-paced, AI-enhanced environment
- Own and drive the end-to-end product design vision across all user-facing experiences at HoneyBook
- Inspire, coach, and manage a multidisciplinary design team, including design leads and ICs, fostering a culture of creativity, critique, and growth
- Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Data leadership to shape product strategy, ensuring design thinking is central from discovery to delivery
- Build and scale design systems and tooling to ensure consistency, quality, and efficiency across teams
- Collaborate with our Marketing team, specifically with the Creative team making sure our brand is reflected in the product and in our marketing assets in an effective and consistent way
- Champion the voice of the user-combining qualitative research, UX best practices, and business context to inform decisions
- Recruit, hire, and onboard top-tier design talent to support HoneyBook’s continued growth
- Elevate design as a strategic function, helping articulate how product experiences tie into our business outcomes
Our take
The self-employed sector is growing quickly, with freelancers now comprising a third of America's workforce. HoneyBook addresses the challenges faced by solo entrepreneurs by offering an all-in-one platform for client communication, invoicing, and booking. it charges a subscription fee and a 3% fee for online transactions.
While competitors like Taver, 17hats, HubSpot Sales Hub, and Calendly offer similar services, HoneyBook stands out by providing an all-in-one platform where users can generate invoices and accept payments seamlessly. this has earned the trust of service providers across the US and Canada, with HoneyBook facilitating over $9B in business bookings.
With the freelance economy in the US projected to encompass 50% of the workforce by 2027, HoneyBook, a unicorn company, is well-positioned for continued growth and success.
