About the Role
We’re looking for a designer to shape and scale how motion UX design can elevate our product experiences. You’ll craft principles, patterns, and tools that add clarity, cohesion, and emotional resonance—making motion a core part of our design system.

Collaborate with design, engineering, and brand teams to create reusable, accessible motion standards.
Prototype motion that enhances usability, transitions, interactions, and information hierarchy that will be unique to HubSpot.
Build motion guidelines and documentation to empower teams to implement motion consistently.
Embed accessibility standards (e.g., reduced motion preferences, timing guidelines).
Maintain and evolve motion tokens, transitions, and interactions across platforms (React).
Mentor designers and promote motion literacy via demos, critiques, and workshops.
Contribute to updating our design language (typography, iconography, elevation, etc.) with a focus on interaction design, microanimations, AI loading states, pictogram motion, and transitions.
Use AI design tools to explore and prototype forward-thinking motion concepts.
What You’ll Tackle
Designing opinionated motion components that balance usability, craft, and performance.
Embedding motion into a11y-compliant components while navigating system-wide consistency.
Defining a governance model that drives adoption and scalability across all product teams.
Supporting a design transformation with a high bar for quality and cohesion.
What We’re Looking For
A portfolio showing system-level motion design that solved complex UX challenges, that shows you care about the details and love creating productive to expressive motion patterns, prototypes, and assets.
Deep expertise in motion principles, usability, accessibility, and interaction design.
Experience developing bespoke motion patterns that expresses a brand and product.
Track record of shipping motion in production-ready systems, in partnership with engineers.
Experience in building and documenting component libraries and token strategies.
Ability to prioritize, drive projects, and make data-informed decisions in a fast-paced environment.
Exceptional communication and storytelling skills to influence cross-functional teams and leadership.
Expert skills in using Figma, After Effects, and Lottie.
A curious mindset with a passion for emerging tools like Replit and Lovable to accelerate the conceptualization of ideas.
