Job Description

The job at a glance

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer with the vision, craft, and conviction to redefine how millions of people connect to work.

Whether you join us as a Mid, Senior, or Lead Designer, you’ll have the autonomy to make real impact. At Stepstone, design isn’t decoration — it’s a strategic force that shapes outcomes for users, customers, and the business.

You’ll work side-by-side with Product, Engineering, and Research partners to identify the highest-leverage opportunities and turn them into meaningful, measurable outcomes.

Here, you won’t just improve flows — you’ll rethink how people find jobs, how recruiters find talent, and how great design can make complexity feel simple.

Your responsibilities:

• Design simple, intuitive, and human-centered experiences that solve real problems with clarity, creativity, and care.
• Prototype boldly. Great prototypes move mountains. They align leaders, steer strategy, and collapse years of discussion into conviction. At Stepstone, we don’t just build prototypes — we use them to decide what the future should look like.
• Shape impact in partnership with Product — helping define priorities, owning outcomes, and holding yourself accountable to team success metrics.
• Elevate the quality of what we ship — through craft, systems thinking, and clear product narratives.
• Contribute to strategic direction — connecting user insight to business goals, and turning ambiguity into focus.

Qualifications

Your skills and qualifications:

• You’ve shipped real products with measurable user and business impact — ideally across consumer, enterprise, or multi-sided ecosystems.
• You hold a high standard of craft — connecting insight to execution, and sweating the details that turn good into unforgettable.
• You’re a strong storyteller — able to align stakeholders, inspire teams, and make complex ideas simple through narrative.
• You wield prototyping as a core skill — using it to explore, align, and sell the future faster than anyone else.
• You’ve worked with design systems — contributing to consistency while pushing patterns and components forward.
