How you can help make a better world of work

Culture Amp has a number of tools that amplify people’s experience and impact at work. And their power is multiplied when they come together as a unified platform. It’s the ol’ “whole is greater than the sum of the parts” thing. 

It starts by thinking holistically about the jobs HR and leaders do, and the insights they need to be successful. And then weaving our products together – on the web, in email, and in flow of work tools such as Slack and MS Teams.

This is the job of Core Experiences, and you as it’s Director of Design. Together with your Product Management and Engineering Director partners, you’ll drive both the vision for our unified platform, and how it becomes real – as the design leader of our design system, and on- and off-platform communication channels.

You’ll ensure our overall user experience is usable, accessible and cohesive, that it drives company growth and accelerates our company mission.  To do this you’ll work cross-functionally with peers across the product group to guide the vision, clear the way for collaboration and execution and ensure valuable experiences are being shipped in regular increments.  You will define quality standards and coach the team to deliver to the standard and velocity expected in a world-class product org. You’ll have a deep understanding of our customer’s needs, building up a body of knowledge to inform strategy.  You’ll flag emerging opportunities in the domain and identify how to best redistribute our investment to be more effective.

We believe that inclusive businesses are better, not just for “company results”, but for the world. We have a strong commitment to Anti-Racism, and endeavor to lead by example. Every step we make as a business towards anti-racism is another step we can take to support our customers in making a better world (of work). You can see our current commitments to Anti-Racism here.
