What We Do

We provide savings on insurance premiums for commercial businesses that are leveraging modern technology on their worksites.

While we began with commercial construction, we're expanding into adjacent sectors, including Energy, Agriculture, and Real Estate.

Our Investors

To date, Shepherd has raised over $20M from leading investors, including:

  • Y Combinator – W21 cohort

  • Susa Ventures – lead our Pre-Seed round

  • Spark Capital - lead our Seed round

  • Costanoa Ventures + Intact Ventures – lead our Series A round

  • And several more.

Our Team

We're a team of technologists and insurance enthusiasts, bridging the two worlds together. Check out our team page to meet some of us!

The RoleAbout You

You enjoy working in a face-paced environment working closely with leadership on defining product goals and design outcomes. You sweat the details, crafting designs and a product you’re proud to share with the world. You respond to customer feedback, oftentimes challenging our earlier assumptions and hypotheses. You enjoy experimenting with different ideas in search of the best solutions. Finally, you care about customers – especially ones who are not tech native, figuring out ways to break down complex workflows into easy-to-use ones. 

About the Role 

As our founding designer, you will have a wide product surface area, covering customer facing products, Shepherd’s internal platform, and more. 

As our first full time designer, you will work closely with our engineering team and our Cofounder + CTO, Mo, taking their feedback and making fast iterations. We don't expect you to get it right the first time (no one does) but we do expect you to seek out and quickly turn around feedback both from the team and our users.

We aren't a super traditional team, but we are an extremely effective one. We love unique backgrounds, hard workers, and intelligent people who take pride in everything they do. This is a high impact, high visibility role where you will partner closely with teams across Shepherd to evaluate key questions, solve problems, and drive results. 

We have offices in San Francisco and New York. We love working together in person and are looking for candidates who can be onsite at our San Francisco HQ.

What You’ll Do:
  • Own all of design at Shepherd, shaping our design language, branding, user experience and more

  • Create a design process and review process with engineering

  • Work closely with the Cofounder/CTO and Head of Product on ideation

  • Work closely with customers to understand their needs and design mocks and/or prototypes to collect feedback

  • Work closely with engineering to make sure we’re building products that are easy to use and intuitive

You would be our dream candidate if….

  • 5+ years of experience, preferably at a SaaS company

  • Experience shipping at least one full product or a significant feature as the lead designer

  • Experience iterating with engineers and other team members on both visual and UX designs to get the experience and details just right

  • Great presentation, collaboration and communication skills

  • Fluency in Figma and prototyping tools

  • Understanding of the technical limitations and workflow for building web interfaces
