About Us

Close is building the modern sales-focused CRM for small, scaling businesses - just like us.

Today, we’re 100+ people across 22 countries. We’re united in our goal to help small businesses sell better by eliminating manual work and empowering them to focus on what matters most: relationships.

Close sets our compass by our customers and our people. Sustainability is core to serving both; we care deeply about the health of our business and the wellbeing of our team. We’re bootstrapped - meaning we’ve accepted no outside funding - and fully remote since 2016. The way we’ve chosen to build the business allows us to chart our own course.

Our team prioritizes impact, ownership, and quality. As a growing, remote-first company, we favor asynchronicity over meetings and we relentlessly prioritize work that moves the needle. We practice a mature approach to the workplace -- we expect our team to manage time effectively, communicate thoughtfully with teammates and customers, and produce great work.

Close's designers care about creating elegant experiences that our customers fall in love with over and over again. From beautiful interfaces to thoughtful interactions, our Product Design team brings purpose, simplicity, and impact to every touchpoint with our product. As a Senior Product Designer, you'll join our culture of autonomy and craft, where we have a high bar for excellence and an endless curiosity about how to solve complex problems with elegant simplicity.

About the Role

You'll be the dedicated designer for our Automations & Integrations team, working to transform how sales teams interact with complex, multi-step processes by making them simple and accessible through natural language.

Our users rely on automations to handle repetitive tasks, but we have an ambitious vision: to create a powerful experience that empowers any seller to create, configure, and start using automations quickly and easily.

Beyond traditional automations, you'll be leading our AI Agents strategy—designing the infrastructure and experiences that will power autonomous AI SDRs, intelligent workflow orchestration, and the next generation of agentic AI capabilities. You'll be defining an entirely new product area that positions Close at the forefront of the agentic AI revolution, leapfrogging commoditized AI SDR solutions to create genuinely innovative autonomous experiences that ultimately make an impact on the lives of our customers.

You’ll be the 5th full-time Product Designer and report to our Head of Product Design. Our design team moves fast and prioritizes high-quality design delivery. We use Shape Up methods and work closely with Product and Engineering to shape strategic cycles. This is a hands-on IC role perfect for a Senior Designer who wants to focus on craft and impact rather than people management.

• Collaborate cross-functionally using Shape Up methodology to define cycle goals and lead strategic initiatives

• Champion user needs while balancing complex technical constraints in a B2B environment

You are…

• Backed by 7+ years of product design experience with a focus on complex B2B SaaS platforms and proven ability to deliver high-quality design at speed in fast-paced environments

• A background in complex systems design for desktop and/or mobile SaaS products, particularly automation, workflow tools, or technical platforms

• Skilled at systems thinking with a proven ability to design for complex, interconnected workflows and multi-step processes

• Experienced applying design thinking to technical products and complex user flows - we’re looking for HCI/Human-Centered Design expertise

• An exceptional leader and communicator who is able to influence technical teams, integrate design priorities, and drive design decisions in collaborative environments

• Biased toward action and rapid iteration - you convert ideas into testable concepts quickly while maintaining high design quality

• Experienced with design systems in Figma, including variables, modes, and component libraries

• Comfortable working remotely with high autonomy in a fast-paced, results-driven environment

• US Based
