Join the company helping businesses grow revenue through in-product messaging, and so much more

What's the opportunity?:

Intercom is leading the creation of a next generation solution for the Customer Service category.

This huge category has been relatively dormant for the last decade, but is now undergoing transformational change due to advancements in Messaging, Automation, and AI.

Our product has been leading this transformation, and is now maturing to a point where we believe we can win the category, by continuing to innovate and mature the product, but also take our story to market in a way that inspires and educates businesses about a new and better way to support customers and create great customer experiences.

Our website forms a critical part of this strategy.

It is the primary way people learn about Intercom, whether through exploration and return visits, going on to sign up by themselves, or getting in touch with our sales team to help.

Our website is the public source of truth for our product, and what it can do to help solve our customer's problems.

It is a cornerstone of our brand, and what we believe about the world. In an increasingly product led world, our website is becoming more and more important.

We are currently fundamentally rethinking, redesigning and rebuilding our website, and our goal is to lead the market, shipping new creative, innovative ways to tell our story and inspire visitors to try Intercom.

We need a new product designer to help us do this.

Each product designer at Intercom works in a team with a product manager, up to 6 engineers, and research and analytics.

You'll partner closely with designers in both brand and R&D, together shipping solutions to challenging problems and getting feedback directly from prospects and customers.

If you think of a website as a product, are adept at crafting coherent and compelling end-to-end customer journeys and are able to translate Intercom's brand in new and exciting ways, you will excel in this position.

You will do meaningful product design work at a highly admired product-driven company that's driving real change in the industry.

We've had designers in key leadership roles, including at the exec level, from the very beginning. This has made design a core foundation of our company's DNA. This means that you'll never have to justify the importance of design.

We genuinely care about people and value kindness in our everyday interactions. You'll be able to be yourself, feel valued, supported, learn and grow no matter how experienced you are.
