How you can help make a better world of work

This is a unique opportunity where the things you create will have a genuine, positive impact on workers globally. Join us as a Lead Product Designer in the Perform camp to help companies create transformative people-first performance products that are easy to use and manage. 

This means you’ll have the opportunity to impact how every employee - HR, managers, and individual employees experience the Culture Amp magic.  

We’re looking for someone to take ownership of the Performance product experience, uplifting the standards of the end-to-end user experience in order to achieve our vision for creating a better world of work. You’ll do this by working closely with the Lead Product Manager and providing design support to other cross-functional team leaders, while bringing a strong user focus into the decision making process.

As a people mentor and coach, you will help guide a team of two to three talented designers - supporting their decisions, honing their craft, and guiding their development.

What you’ll spend time doing

  • Collaborate with top-notch Product, Engineering and Delivery leaders across multiple teams to create compelling experiences that delight customers
  • Work with leadership to evolve our Performance product mission and strategy to support the impact we want to create as a company
  • Work through complex problems that demand second- and third-order thinking 
  • Ensure that valuable experiences are being shipped regularly, meeting the quality standards and progressing us towards the Performance product vision
  • Mentor a team of two to three Product Designers to and help them grow and do their best work
  • Inspire other members of the camp to think about discovery and learn inclusive Design methods

What you bring

  • You have deep experience as an IC in a design role, and are beginning to think about your impact and influence as a design leader.
  • Experience creating end-to-end experiences for users - using data driven decision making to validate and/or test.
  • A toolkit to draw on for deeply understanding problems and defining solutions, such as service design, design thinking and customer discovery.
  • A keen interest in getting to know your users and deeply understand their needs.
  • You’re a close cross-functional collaborator with a growth mindset. You’re comfortable working with product managers, engineers and other domain experts to co-design pragmatic solutions that balance impact, effort and confidence.
  • Empathy for those you work with and mentor, and a drive to build and foster highly-effective environment.
  • Curiosity and passion for people and culture. At heart, you're what we call a people geek!

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.

We ensure you have the tools you need to thrive both in and out of work.

  • MacBooks for you to do your best work 
  • Share Options - it’s important to us that everyone is an owner and can share in our success
  • Excellent parental leave and in work support programme, - for those families to be
  • Flexible working schedule - where we can, let’s make work, work for you
  • Fun and inclusive digital, and in-person events

Most importantly, an opportunity to really make a difference in people’s lives.
