About 1Password:
We all have important information we need to manage, and protecting it should be easy. Over 150,000 businesses and millions of people log in to 1Password to unlock smart, simple access to everything they care about. Our vision is to create a safer, simpler digital future for everyone, and our culture values simplicity, honesty and a human-centric approach to solving problems. Come help us unlock peace of mind so everyone can stay safer online.
We are seeking a visionary and strategic leader to serve as our Director, Interactive Design. You will be responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive website design experience to achieve our brand and category-building objectives. You will lead a talented interactive design team. Your ultimate measure of success will be designing a website experience that will:
- Illustrate how 1Password has created a new category and demonstrate its leadership
- Advance 1Password’s journey from a single product to a multi-product platform
- Showcase 1Password’s value proposition as an enterprise cybersecurity provider without alienating millions of loyal consumer customers
- Build relevancy and trust with security buyers
- Demonstrate that 1Password is a world-class cybersecurity company on par with Fortune 100 firms
In this role, you will serve as the driving force behind visually representing our brand strategy and category narrative on our website, shaping how the world perceives and interacts with 1Password. In this role, you will design our website to captivate audiences, spark conversations, and drive meaningful connections.
1Password’s brand stands for something different. We believe that security software should make its users more productive, not inject productivity-robbing friction into their daily experience. Unlike most enterprise security software companies who build software for security administrators that is then imposed on employees, for the last eighteen years, we have embraced a human-centric approach to everything from our product design North Stars, to ways we engage with customers and future buyers. One of the joys and challenges you will face in this role is to build on this legacy and help our audiences understand and appreciate what sets us apart.
