About the opportunity
As a Senior Staff Designer and design lead for our Compliance team, you will play a critical leadership role in the strategy and execution of compliance experiences across the product. As a platform design leader, you will collaborate closely with your cross-functional partners and internal feature teams to design and build a seamless and holistic experience for Gusto admins and employees. As a member of the Core Experiences design team, you will contribute to craft quality and leadership across the team, and help set the direction for how platform designers should collaborate with feature teams.
Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:
Drive company-wide impact by strengthening our teams’ collective understanding and execution of compliance experiences.
Work with cross-functional partners in Product Management, Engineering, and Data Science to understand customer problems, key opportunities in your domain, and define both the long term UX vision and short-term milestones that unlock customer value.
Collaborate with our Research, Data Science, and Customer Support teams to build a holistic understanding of customer needs, and make sure they’re shared with your teams to inform their thinking, build empathy, and inform prioritization decisions.
Collaborate with internal teams to understand common customer and business needs, and craft patterns and systems that meet those needs.
Work with engineering partners to assess downstream impact to the customer experience through data modeling and architecture decisions.
Advocate for, and contribute to, the use of Workbench, our Design System.
Mentor designers across the Core Experiences team, fostering growth and collaboration.
Provide the “why” behind design decisions that can be easily adopted by partnering disciplines.
Provide and seek feedback from other designers to always push the bar for quality.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
10+ years' aligned Product Design experience, ideally with a few years of platform experience.
A bonus: experience in the compliance domain.
A builder who can develop a long-term vision, as well as execute it.
Experience developing a cohesive product strategy in partnership with cross-functional collaborators, and getting alignment across a complex organization.
Experience using prototyping to quickly share ideas and get buy-in on design decisions.
Experience designing and shipping products in complex domains informed by research, data, and insights from support teams demonstrated through a portfolio of work you’ve directly contributed to.
Strong background in systems thinking, including using and contributing to a Design System and designing with a Platform-first approach.
Ability to explain the impact of your work, tradeoffs you’ve made, lessons learned, and design rationale.
Ability to think long term towards a broader vision or step change, while being able to speak to scoping and sequencing to deliver iterative value.
Experience designing end-to-end customer journeys from software to service.
Strong understanding of common web patterns, foundations, and the ability to discern when to innovate versus adopt existing standards.
Strong opinions loosely held and a willingness to engage in constructive debates about scope and tradeoffs to build alignment and unblock work.
Strong UX craft — you can break down complex experiences and design with consideration for all touchpoints.
Ability to embrace ambiguous situations as opportunities to create.
Passion for Gusto’s mission and the impact we can have on the world.
At Gusto, we strive to provide rewards that empower employees to achieve their financial and personal goals. We offer competitive compensation packages with a strong emphasis on equity based compensation (ownership in Gusto).
