Web Design Lead

Members of the Brand Design team bring the Hex brand to life across every customer and employee touchpoint. As our Web Designer, you will lead the Web pillar within Brand Design — owning the strategy, UX/UI, art direction, and execution across our website, documentation surfaces, and other web surfaces.

You’ll operate as both a player/coach and eventually hire + mentor a small web design team as we scale.

About the role

• Lead the design and experience for all of Hex’s web surfaces, including our website, documentation site, and any future experience or surface.
• Own launch assets alongside marketing, ensuring every major product moment is visually clear, compelling, and on-brand
• Establish and maintain visual quality, patterns, and consistency across all web experiences
• Partner closely with designers and marketers to bring stories to life with clarity, craft, and narrative cohesion
• Drive the long-term web roadmap, identifying opportunities for performance, clarity, storytelling, and experimentation
• Collaborate with engineering partners (internal + external) to ensure high-quality implementation
• Support product illustrations and light motion, bringing delight and personality to key moments
• Over time, hire, manage, and mentor a team of engineers and designers
• Influence processes, standards, and creative culture of the Design team

About you

You might be a great fit if you:

• Have 8+ years of experience in web/visual/UI design with a portfolio demonstrating world-class craft, storytelling, and systems thinking
• Are strong across UX, layout, visual design, and typography
• Have experience designing marketing surfaces for technical, B2B, or product-led companies
• Understand how to collaborate with engineers and think in HTML/CSS/React constraints (coding skills not required, but deep understanding is)
• Have a sharp eye for visual consistency, motion, micro-interaction quality, and illustration
• Can operate autonomously with a bias toward velocity, owning projects from concept to launch
• Are excited to establish processes, patterns, and design rituals for a growing team
• Communicate design decisions clearly, with humility and cross-functional fluency
• Enjoy both high-level creative direction and hands-on execution
• Are energized by a mix of campaign work, long-term system building, and ongoing iteration of a high-traffic website

In addition to our unique culture, Hex proudly offers a competitive total rewards package, including but not limited to, market-benched salary & equity, comprehensive health benefits, and flexible paid time off.
