Overview
About SERV
At SERV, we’re creating the best home service buying experience on the planet. We believe that home services, from plumbing to landscaping to home renovation, should be easy to find, understand, and purchase, just like any other e-commerce experience (a Shopify-like platform for Services). The magic of a great service customer experience comes from SERV automating hundreds of tasks done manually today. We are partnering to build trusted local brands by automating 80% of their operations. We’re looking for an inventive designer to join as our founding designer and help shape the future of service commerce.
The Role
As a Founding Designer at SERV, you will lead the user experience and product design for both our consumer-facing and business-oriented products. You will spearhead the design efforts for our business tools while taking an active, hands-on approach to our Express commerce offerings. Your role will involve crafting innovative purchasing experiences for a range of home services—from established trades like HVAC and plumbing to newly emerging service categories. You will develop, test, and refine working prototypes, engaging directly with real consumers and top-tier brands. Collaborating closely with our GTM (go-to-market) and leadership teams, you will play a pivotal role in securing design partnerships, utilizing your prototypes and concepts to engage and impress potential clients effectively.
What You’ll Do
- Care a Lot: This will show up in your work, your ingenuity and your relationships.
- Envision & Execute: Lead the product design strategy for a transformative e-commerce solution for home services. You’ll own everything from the big-picture concepts to the day-to-day design details.
- Prototype & Validate: Create working prototypes and product flows that our customers and partners can interact with, validate, and love.
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work hand-in-hand with engineering, product, GTM, and sales teams to ensure that design decisions align with our core business goals and customer needs.
- Establish Design Foundations: Develop style guides, component libraries, and best practices that set the standard for future designers and contributors as SERV grows.
- Partner with Prospects & Clients: Actively participate in sales pitches, product demos, and design partnership discussions—your creative vision will help land and retain customers.
- Iterate & Improve: Continuously gather feedback from internal teams, customers, and user testing. Iterate rapidly to deliver an outstanding user experience.
About You
- Artist & Craftsperson: You have a deep passion for both the conceptual, artistic side of design and the precise craft of execution. You love creating visually stunning yet highly functional products.
- E-Commerce & Growth Experience: You’ve designed solutions for e-commerce, growth-focused products, or vertical SaaS platforms. You understand how to convert users into customers and keep them engaged.
- Customer-Centric: You thrive on user research and usability testing. You believe that great design starts with real insights from real people.
- Entrepreneurial Mindset: You’re excited to join a fast-moving startup, willing to tackle ambiguity, and eager to build something entirely new with a team that shares your passion.
- Collaboration Skills: You communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike, and you’re ready to work side by side with GTM, sales, and product leads.
- Ownership: As a founding designer, you’ll have high-level ownership and influence. You’re comfortable taking the initiative and making key decisions.
Why Join SERV
- Pioneer a New Frontier: We are building new commerce experiences from first principles.
- High Impact & Visibility: Your design work will be front and center—directly influencing company success.
- Collaborative Culture: Join a supportive team that values diverse perspectives, creative thinking, and open communication.
- Professional Growth: Have the autonomy to grow your skills, lead critical initiatives, and define a design vision that others will follow.
- Competitive Market-based Cash Compensation & Equity: We believe in rewarding our team for building something extraordinary together.
If you’re excited to shape the future of service commerce, push the boundaries of design, and help bring to life the next generation of online home services, we’d love to hear from you.
