Thumbtack is seeking a Product Designer to join the Partnerships team, working at the intersection of go-to-market design and in-product brand experience. This role combines product design sensibility with storytelling, prototyping, and visual polish to accelerate partnership initiatives while ensuring Thumbtack's brand system translates consistently across product surfaces.
You'll lead significant portions of product experience with accountability for business outcomes. Key responsibilities include conducting user research and lightweight tests to scope initiatives, transforming ambitious ideas into compelling business cases with clear success criteria, and championing insights as core metrics alongside traditional analytics. You'll partner cross-functionally with marketing, engineering, designers, data scientists, and applied scientists to ideate, prioritize, and deliver solutions for customers and service professionals.
The role emphasizes advanced prototyping, motion design, and brand/visual design skills. You'll spend more time than typical product design roles creating interactive demos, motion-rich experiences for partners, and elevating motion and brand craft in live product surfaces. This includes translating brand system updates—iconography, motion language, moments of delight—into high-craft experiences beyond the Partnerships team.
You'll coordinate across Thumbtack teams to ensure alignment, drive high-impact initiatives from seed to scale, and thoughtfully sunset initiatives that don't meet success criteria. The design team operates as a tight-knit group collaborating through critiques, work sessions, and presentations to influence product direction company-wide.
Thumbtack helps millions of people confidently care for their homes through personalized guidance, AI tools, and a best-in-class hiring experience connecting homeowners with 300,000+ local service businesses across every U.S. county.
