Staff Product Designer

Let’s face it, a company whose mission is human transformation better have some fresh thinking about the employer/employee relationship. We do. We can’t cram it all in here, but you’ll start noticing it from the first interview. Even our candidate experience is different. And when you get an offer from us (and accept it), you get way more than a paycheck. You get a personal BetterUp Coach, a development plan, a trained and coached manager, the most amazing team you’ve ever met (yes, each with their own personal BetterUp Coach), and most importantly, work that matters. This makes for a remarkably focused and fulfilling work experience. Frankly, it’s not for everyone. But for people with fire in their belly, it’s a game-changing, career-defining, soul-lifting move. Join us and we promise you the most intense and fulfilling years of your career, doing life-changing work in a fun, inventive, soulful culture. If that sounds exciting—and the job description below feels like a fit—we really should start talking. 

As a Staff Product Designer focusing on Partner Experience, you will be instrumental in evolving our UX framework and design approach, specifically tailored to enhance the engagement and journey of our partners (Fortune 500 companies) who use BetterUp to coach and transform their workforce. This role is pivotal in leveraging design to empower organizational transformation through data visualization and compelling storytelling that informs decision-making processes.

Your mission is to delve into the unknown, from zero to one, embracing ambiguity with a zeal for learning and integrating cutting-edge technologies, such as generative AI, into our product experiences. Your expertise in navigating complex ecosystems with a curious and investigative mindset will be crucial. 

What you’ll do:

• Develop an in-depth understanding of data visualization and storytelling techniques to drive organizational change within Fortune 500 companies.

• Exhibit a mastery of navigating from concept to execution, demonstrating a keen ability to explore and apply new technologies like AI to enhance product experiences.

• Be a strategic problem solver who will lead the most challenging strategic and business related projects often without an obvious way forward. Fully aware of adjacent dependencies, making sure solutions are pragmatic and have a high impact at the company level.  

• Exercise UX strategy and processes to enable the team to identify the right user insights, goals, and problem framing. Effectively applies empathy and context awareness of the problem at different zoom levels: the user level, business strategy, technical infrastructure, and organizational structure. 

• Execute the process of planning, navigating trade-offs, and creating meaningful user experiences — inspiring and ensuring that the products we build are designed to create impact.

• Showcase exceptional stakeholder management skills, ensuring proactive communication across the organization. Translate diverse feedback into accountable actions that drive forward our mission.

• Expertly align customer needs with business objectives, maintaining a company-first and team-first approach. Your ability to connect the dots is essential for strategic direction and impactful outcomes.

• Make smart and decisive decisions and be comfortable and self-driven through ambiguity and uncertainty in an ever changing macroeconomy.

• Occasionally step into product management roles, strategizing on product direction, understanding user mental models, and extending your influence beyond traditional design responsibilities to exhibit ownership and proactive problem-solving.

• You have 9+ years of experience leading and/or operating as an individual contributing designer.
