They’re a late-stage (Series E, pre-IPO) HR Tech startup in an exciting stage of growth, and with great name recognition in the tech space. They provide SMBs – including many in the tech industry – high-quality, enterprise-level health insurance and payroll tools that smaller businesses and their employees wouldn\u2019t otherwise have access to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also have an incredible culture, rooted in honesty, openness, integrity, friendliness, no-ego, and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their street cred:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortune<\/em> magazine named them to their Best Workplaces in New York list 5 times, and they\u2019re also on BuiltIn\u2019s list of \u201cNYC Best Large Companies to Work For”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They\u2019ve been around for 10+ years and are an important player in the $40B HR Tech industry. They\u2019re secured $160M in funding from top VCs including Bain, Thrive, Union Square Ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their star is rapidly rising; it\u2019s a great time to get in the door! They recently expanded into global markets and have grown consistently and intelligently year over year. They\u2019re currently at 1300 total employees, with 30+ Designers, doubling their Product org in the last 2 years. They\u2019re now adding a full suite of products to their already well-known core product, so they\u2019re in a great place for continued growth and visibility!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s Happening There in Design:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n They\u2019ve recently hired their first-ever VP of Design, who we\u2019ve known for years and ADORE. We can attest that he\u2019d be a dream manager! His arrival there is a great signal for their investment in Design and respect for the discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve helped this VP grow his teams through the years and seen them all shine under his leadership. He\u2019s empathic, strategic, supersmart, and has a great sense of humor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Role:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n They\u2019re seeking a fulltime, seasoned Experience Design Director<\/strong> for their Employment Experience team, to work onsite 3x \/ week in their lower NYC office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Employment Experience team is hugely important one \u2013 it owns multiple teams under it that are responsible for all the user-facing aspects of their offerings \u2013 so it\u2019s a super high-visibility, impactful role at a similarly high-visibility company! <\/p>\n\n\n\n You are a collaborative, visionary design leader with relevant B2B or SaaS experience, 7+ minimum years of management experience (with at least 3 years of managing Managers), a proven track record of managing teams of 10-15 people, and have 10+ years of applicable experience designing software products and experiences, with some experience in SaaS or B2B companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve most likely already been operating at a Director level or equivalent for at least a few years. This isn\u2019t a role for someone looking to stretch up into it; they need someone highly seasoned with a longstanding, proven track record of leadership, who can come in and start creating value for both the company and your teams right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While you do still keep a portfolio and you have a strong sense of craft, this is not a largely hands-on design role, nor is it a \u201cplayer-coach\u201d situation. This role is for a visionary Leader with a capital L, who has experience collaborating, creating connections, and driving initiatives at the highest levels of the business. That said, you know how to use Figma and other common design tools so you can jump in and help out where needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are a compassionate and supportive people manager who inspires design teams to do their best work, and you have regularly created and grown a Design culture within an org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You know what growth looks like, and \u201cgrowth\u201d could mean customer acquisition and retention, as well as seeing a company through their own growth \u2013 ideally you have the experience to help take a 1300 person org into, say, a 2-5K size one, and you have a (mostly) clear playbook of how to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have a strategic mindset and lean on data to inform and track business goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An excellent communicator and enthusiastic collaborator, you work well with team members, external partners, and senior management. You use communication and presentation skills to engage, inspire and influence. You\u2019re a fabulous storyteller!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What you\u2019ll get to do in this role:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What they’re looking for in your portfolio:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal candidate has:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Comp:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n $250-282K base + meaningful equity + great benefits<\/p>\n\n\n\n Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n World-class health insurance, unlimited PTO, a dog-friendly office, 16-week parental leave, full or partial coverage for Citibike \/ Talkspace \/ Headspace \/ Peloton \/ Classpass memberships, ERG groups, continued learning resources, fitness discounts, wellness room, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
