Product Designer

Who We Are Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion. Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work. About The Role Imagine yourself in the 1970s or 80s thinking through how computing should look and feel for people who had never seen one before. That's what we're trying to do at Notion — make software that feels timeless, with the craftsmanship of German cameras, playfulness of Japanese toys, and mass appeal of Coca-Cola. We have no end of fascinating challenges that can only be solved by someone with innate product & UX sense, technical aptitude, great taste, and impeccable craft. This role can be based in either San Francisco or New York City. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days. What You'll Achieve: - Design product concepts that balance vision, craft, speed, and business potential. - Craft every detail of new product features, from idea to UX to pixel-perfect execution. - Run projects end to end with engineers to drive your vision to the ship line. - Partner closely with our Customer Experience, Sales, and Customer Success teams to understand what each of our diverse user segments need, want, and love about Notion. Use this data and acquired intuition to prioritize, plan, and scope our product roadmap. - Work with Marketing to devise new ways to tell great stories throughout the user lifecycle, and across our site, product, help guides and other channels. - Create new patterns that are intuitive, practical, and convergent. Evolve our design system intentionally as we scale. Skills You'll Need to Bring: - You have well-rounded skills and experience to run projects independently end to end. 5+ years of working experience. - You seek to understand the needs of customers then explore and advocate for the strongest user experiences to solve their problems - You enjoy untangling vague conceptual problems and have a sharp intuition for the most accessible mental models and flows, so users can immediately start gaining value out of the product. - You create clear, intuitive, and visually appealing human interfaces. - You care about business needs, implications, and practicality of your designs. You don't get stuck on pretty UI or deep abstractions and can balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line. - You have strong beliefs, loosely held. You're a good listener who collaborates well with different stakeholders. You observe and internalize all inputs and feedback to help you reach an optimal decision. - You understand how to tell stories using both words and visuals, and strategize the best ways to drive alignment. - You value working cross-functionally with project management, engineering, research and data — as well as design peers. Nice to Haves: - You've designed and built great tools with small teams in the past. - You bring unique strengths and perspectives to the team. We're looking to build a diverse team where our skills and experience can complement each other. - You've experienced the pain of fragmented tools and information silos created by them, and have a strong urge to fix it. - You're familiar with the work of computing heroes like Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay, Bret Victor, etc. — and understand why we're big fans. - You are a designer who can code!
