Design is what Squarespace is known for. We go to great lengths to ensure every touchpoint of the product and brand is as beautiful and impactful as possible. As a modern creative organization, we hire aesthetically-driven designers who have a strong process that can be applied across a range of deliverables.

You will help define and guide the design direction, user experience of digital brand campaigns as well as squarespace.com (aka Squarespace's 'Frontsite') in partnership with our dedicated Frontsite team.
You will be challenged in an organization that values both vision and execution. You will take ownership of the digital space by solving complex problems with thoughtful, elegant solutions. You keep a finger on the pulse of design and technology trends to ensure our projects are cutting-edge and resonate with current and future audiences. You have a strong background in visual, web, and interaction design and impeccable taste in typography.
