Product Designer (Contract – 7 Months)

Company Overview

Hubstaff helps organizations around the world optimize productivity and workforce operations. Trusted by 95,000+ businesses, our platform powers time tracking, team management, project insights, and payroll automation.

We’ve been a remote-first company for over a decade — and we’re on a mission to help distributed teams work smarter, not harder.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Product Designer (mid-level to senior) to join Hubstaff on a full-time contract basis for an initial 7-month engagement, with the possibility of extension.

In this role, you’ll work across two product squads, partnering closely with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, and fellow designers. You’ll own design work end to end — from discovery and research through execution and iteration — helping transform user needs and feedback into thoughtful, high-quality product experiences.

This is a great role for someone who enjoys being hands-on, thrives in a fast-moving SaaS environment, and takes pride in delivering practical, user-centered solutions.

What You’ll Do

• Advocate for users by deeply understanding their needs and pushing for experiences that solve real customer problems

• Own the user experience end to end, from problem definition to final delivery and iteration

• Plan and run UX research, including user interviews, usability testing, and prototype validation

• Translate research insights into clear, actionable design decisions

• Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Engineering Managers to define problems, align on goals, and prioritize work

• Produce high-fidelity, pixel-perfect UI designs for new features and product improvements

• Contribute to the evolution and maintenance of Zone, Hubstaff’s design system

• Ensure design solutions are feasible, clearly communicated, and well-executed through implementation

What We’re Looking For (Must-Haves)

• 5+ years of experience designing digital products, ideally in B2B SaaS or startup environments

• Strong generalist background across UX, UI, research, and delivery

• Proven experience planning and executing user research and translating findings into product improvements

• Advanced Figma skills, including working with and contributing to design systems

• Experience collaborating closely with Product Managers and Engineers

• Ability to manage multiple design initiatives and move work forward independently

• Strong communication skills and comfort working in a fully remote environment

• High attention to detail and commitment to quality

• Fluent English communication (minimum C1 level) — you’ll work closely with PMs, engineers, and stakeholders, participate in live discussions, and conduct user interviews in English.

Nice to Have

• Experience working across multiple product squads

• Previous exposure to growth-stage SaaS products

• Familiarity with remote-first team workflows

Location & Work Setup

• Fully remote

• Time zone overlap required with Americas / Europe (until ~3pm EDT)

• Full-time contract role

Compensation & Contract Type

• Hourly rate: USD $35–$40/hour

• Full-time contract

• Initial 7-month contract, with potential extension

Why Join Hubstaff

• Work on a widely used B2B SaaS product with a global customer base

• High ownership and autonomy in your work

• Fully remote culture with strong async collaboration

• Be part of a close-knit Product and Design group

• Participate in remote retreats and our annual in-person retreat tradition
