About This Role
About Nooks.ai
Nooks is an applied AI lab building the Agent Workspace for GTM. We design AI agents that operate across the full sales action set, from account strategy to prospect research and outreach. Building 0→1 has never been easier, but selling at the speed of the market remains the last frontier for AI. Our mission is to 10x every seller by automating the busywork so they can focus on what humans do best: closing deals.
Today, over 1,500 customers run on Nooks, including Notion, HubSpot, Cursor, and Rippling. We’ve raised $70M+ from top VCs like Kleiner Perkins, which made its first sales-tech investment in over a decade with us. Since then, we’ve tripled ARR each year for 3 years running and grown a high-caliber team turning the art of sales into a scalable science.
About The Role
As Head of Design, you will own the design vision and execution across the entire Nooks product.. You will be responsible for ensuring the platform is intuitive, beautiful, and built for the real workflows of modern revenue teams. This will initially lead a small team.
This role is both strategic and hands-on and you’ll set the design direction for the company while also diving deep into product details. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and GTM leaders to translate complex problems into elegant user experiences.
You will be building the future design organization with AI, establishing the systems, culture, and standards that allow design to scale as the company grows.
