We’re looking for a highly skilled and driven Staff Product Designer designer to join our new HR Apps team. This designer will ship products that help small business owners hire, manage, retain, and celebrate their team members. This person will be in a unique position to make a huge impact on Gusto and the success of customers using our products.
About the Team:
HR Apps team helps small business owners grow and manage thriving teams. It’s a newly-formed product area that will grow into two engineering/product/design pods over the coming months. Some of the features this team owns:
- Applicant tracking: help employers post open jobs, manage candidates and interviews, and hire compliantly
- Learning management: deliver guided learning to meet compliance requirements and grow team members’ skills.
- Performance management: gather peer and manager feedback, manage performance reviews, and set development goals.
Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:
- Work with your cross-functional partners to define a long-term UX vision for your product area and how it fits into Gusto’s broader vision
- Influence the definition of product strategy, roadmap, team OKRs, and project direction
- Build our collective understanding of customers’ HR needs through research and data
- Design and ship both net-new and iterative projects that deliver consistent value to our customers
- Contribute to Gusto’s product design leadership community by sharing your skills and experience
- Champion our design system and platform standards, and help evolve them through your product work
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- Breadth of impact: This is a very senior IC design role on a strategic and new team within Gusto. You should have demonstrated experience impacting design direction across multiple teams, and influencing design/product across multiple product areas.
- Product acumen: This role will contribute directly to business and product strategy. You should be comfortable presenting to executive stakeholders, and be able to demonstrate how you’ve impacted business decisions.
- Builder mindset: The person in this role will ship customer-facing products, not just plans and documents. You should be able to demonstrate how you’ve used design as a tool for communication and persuasion.
- High quality bar: This role will be a tireless advocate for our customers’ experience with Gusto. You should be able to demonstrate how you’ve maintained design quality and accessibility across screen sizes, while shipping iteratively to deliver customer value early and often.
