The Role
We are hiring a Staff Product Designer to help craft the future of our product.

- Collaborate with your squad to identify the highest impact areas to work on, develop hypotheses, test, and iterate.
Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience designing and shipping complex, enterprise-level SaaS products. Experience in CRM, sales-tech, or related B2B domains is a strong plus.
- You are an expert systems thinker. You can deconstruct complex problems, understand how different parts of a system connect, and design solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and coherent.
- You have expert design instincts and best practice knowledge to translate user problems, business objectives, and technical constraints into excellent product experiences.
- You’re a self-starter that thrives while working in a fast-paced environment on multiple projects simultaneously.
