Principal Product Designer

 

Description:

Design plays an essential role in ensuring the product is intuitive and efficient, helping free up smart people to work on hard problems for their organizations rather than the busy work that often comes with their jobs. We hold design to a higher standard than others in the industry, and it’s an important differentiator for us. The user experience is essential in building trust with our customers so they can feel confident that important aspects of their business run without fail for their employees. As designers, you’re responsible for creating these experiences that solve real everyday problems for employees.

Our Performance Management product vertical allows companies to build high-performing teams painlessly, all powered by Rippling’s employee graph and unified platform. In collaboration with their cross-functional team, this role will own the end-to-end experience of everything in the Performance Management product line — Review Cycles, Goals Management, and much more.


We’re looking for a lead-level product designer passionate about helping businesses and their employees succeed in their missions by helping them run more effectively.
