Staff Product Designer

San Francisco, CA, United States

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 Staff Product Designer of our exceptional design team, you will have the opportunity to shape the direction of our UX framework and design strategy to help professionals shape their journey of career and personal transformation. You will take risks and push design boundaries while constantly advocating for our members (consumers), partners (Fortune 5000 companies), and coaches. You will partner tightly with product and engineering to understand pain points, validate your designs, collaborate, adjust, and iterate quickly. You will thrive in an ego-free environment that values finding the best outcomes.

If you are passionate about human thriving, applying UX thinking to complex system problems, and operating as a high-performing design team, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

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.

Effective communicator and brilliant stakeholder manager (leaders at all levels) who can collaborate closely with product, engineering, UX research, and UX writing counterparts to shape a data-informed vision for the user experience of our products.
