About the Role:

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer to join our Benefits team, where you’ll play a key role in shaping how small businesses shop for and adopt health insurance. In this role, you’ll partner closely with PM, Engineering, and Data peers to identify new opportunities and build solutions to help our customers find the right benefits offerings to take care of their teams. You'll be a key contributor to the entire product development process—from initial research and concept development to refining UI and launching new features

About the Team:

The Benefits team builds solutions to help our customers navigate the complex landscape of benefits with ease. Our goal is to expand access to quality health and financial benefits and deliver them seamlessly through Gusto’s all-in-one platform. As a design team, we craft simple product experiences that untangle complexity and help customers make informed decisions that directly impact their lives and livelihoods. We take a guided and opinionated approach to serving our small business customers, leading with expertise and making it as easy as possible for them to find the right benefits, optimize their budgets and manage changes throughout the year.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Work with your cross-functional partners to define a long-term UX vision for your product area and how it fits into Gusto’s broader vision
• Influence the definition of product strategy, roadmap, team OKRs, and project direction
• Build our collective understanding of customers’ benefits needs through research and data
• Design and ship both net-new and iterative projects that deliver consistent value to our customers
• Contribute to Gusto’s product design leadership community by sharing your skills and experience
• Champion our design system and platform standards, and help evolve them through your product work

Here’s what we're looking for:

• 8+ years' Product Design experience
• A builder who loves being hands on crafting high quality, high impact solutions and getting them in front of customers
• Experience designing end-to-end customer journeys from software to service
• Experience working in complex domains and creating guided experiences that are simple for customers to navigate
• Strong opinions loosely held and a willingness to engage in constructive debates about scope and tradeoffs to build alignment and unblock work
• Strong strategic partnership with the ability to help identify opportunities, refine problems and solutions, and help the team deliver great customer experiences
• Strong UX craft — you can break down complex experiences and design with consideration for all touchpoints 
• Passion for Gusto’s mission and the impact we can have on the world
