Job Description

At Instawork, we’re driven by our vision to create economic opportunity for local businesses and skilled hourly professionals  in communities around the world. With a growing number of hub cities across the world in the U.S., Canada, India, and beyond, we’re looking for top talent to help rapidly scale our high-tech and high-touch labor marketplace. Our accomplished and dedicated team is passionate about our mission and committed to crafting revolutionary products, all with the backing of our world-class investors, including Benchmark, Spark Capital, Craft Ventures, Greylock Capital, Y Combinator, and more!

Instawork is looking for a thoughtful, talented, and mission driven product designer to join our growing team, shape our product, and help establish a design centered culture across the company. Your work will help hospitality professionals to gain additional skills, earn extra income, and run their businesses more efficiently.
 
In addition to being a two-sided marketplace, the online-to-offline nature of our product presents a unique set of design and product challenges. We aren't just trying to get people to click more buttons - we're connecting people in physical space and managing around all the unpredictability and unique social dynamics of hospitality and hourly labor.

What You’ll Do

  • Play a key role in defining design quality and vision of our pro-facing mobile app (3 Million + users)

  • Take high level product ideas from conception through execution, across web and mobile. You'll work across a wide range of areas - product strategy, user research, and UX/UI design in particular.

  • Take joint ownership of metrics and strategy with the product team, and work collaboratively with engineering and operations to achieve goals

  • Mentor our US team of 3 talented product designers and implement the design tools and processes needed to build the foundation of a high functioning, world-class design team

Who You Are

  • You are highly empathetic and passionate about helping others. You are excited about building a strong design foundation within our team, but also eager to roll up your sleeves and do what it takes to ship products and features our users love.

  • You’ve been part of a high functioning product and design team and have a knack for user research and UX design, but can be effective across a number of other product design functions. You’re ready to take ownership of our design process and the end-to-end designs of the most critical areas of our product.

  • 7+ years experience as a product designer across web and mobile

  • Mastery of Figma

  • A passion for hard problems and helping people

Instawork Values

  • Bias for Action -- We are a growing team and an evolving product. We want a team of do’ers to drive the company forward, even if it means making decisions with incomplete information or being wrong.

  • Act Like an Owner -- Treat this company as though it is your own. Execute on the fundamentals, and act creatively to drive growth. Your ability to drive impact in any part of our company is only limited by your courage and conviction, not your job title.

  • Always Be Learning -- We are changing an entire industry. We strive to learn from each other and get better each day, week, and month, so that our team’s learnings can compound and we can all improve, together.

  • Empathy, Trust, Candor -- Empathy for our business partners and professionals means we put ourselves in their shoes. Empathy for our colleagues means we are always upfront and honest with each other, which comes from trust.
