[Hiring] Product Designer @Thumbtack

Role Description

We're looking for a Product Designer with excellent prototyping, motion, and brand/visual design skills to join our Partnerships team and to support how Thumbtack's brand system shows up across the product. This role sits at the intersection of go-to-market design and in-product brand experience:

• Pair product design sensibility with storytelling, prototyping, and polish to accelerate partnerships and go-to-market efforts.
• Help translate brand system updates — iconography, motion language, moments of delight — into consistent, high-craft product experiences beyond Partnerships alone.
• Work closely with Business Development, Sales, Go-to-Market Operations, Product, and Brand teams.
• Spend more time visualizing new experiences, prototyping, animation, and production design.
• Create interactive demos and motion-rich experiences for partners.
• Elevate motion and brand craft in live product surfaces.

What you’ll do

• Lead a significant portion of our product experience and be accountable for business outcomes.
• Conduct user research and lightweight tests to scope and prioritize product initiatives.
• Transform a vague, ambitious idea into a compelling business and product case, secure resources, and lead execution with clear success criteria.
• Champion deep learnings and insights as a core metric, valuing them alongside traditional metrics to fuel smarter, more innovative product decisions.
• Partner with marketing, engineers, designers, data, and applied scientists to ideate, prioritize, and deliver great solutions for our customers and professionals.
• Coordinate within your team and among teams at Thumbtack to ensure understanding of and alignment around projects.
• Drive a high-impact initiative from seed to scale, ensuring sustained focus by thoughtfully sunsetting or culling initiatives that do not meet success criteria.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of product design experience.
• A blend of agency and in-house product design experience, supported by a strong portfolio.
• Advanced Figma prototyping skills, from low-fidelity flows to high-fidelity experiences with motion and interaction.
• Experience creating polished micro-interactions, transitions, and animations, with strong attention to craft, timing, and detail.
• Experience translating brand systems into product experiences through motion, iconography, and UI polish.
• Understanding of technical feasibility and ability to collaborate effectively with engineering partners.
• Strong communication and visual storytelling skills to align cross-functional stakeholders.

Expected salary ranges

For candidates living in Ontario and British Columbia, the expected total cash compensation (base salary + variable pay, if applicable) range for this role is currently $131,800.00 - $170,500.00. Actual offered salaries will vary and will be based on various factors, such as calibrated job level, qualifications, skills, competencies, and proficiency for the role.
