Lead Product Designer

About Us

At Benepass we're making benefits easy. We believe people are the most important asset to any company. Traditional one-size-fits-all benefits packages no longer cut it in today's hybrid and remote-first environment. With Benepass, companies can tailor their benefits to the unique needs of their workforce.

Through our easy-to-use and highly customizable fintech platform, People teams can implement, administer, and track the benefits that meet employees where they are. Employers design their benefits and perks plan by setting a contribution amount and eligible spend categories. Every employee has their own individual definition of wellness and needs different things to help them be their most productive, fulfilled self.

Our Mission

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Product Designer to serve as the design owner across our product.

This is a highly hands-on, senior individual contributor role. This person’s primary responsibility will be durable ownership of design output: framing problems, enforcing a quality bar, and shipping reliable coherent designs with high independence and autonomy.

This role is analogous to a Tech Lead in Engineering -- a senior IC who can be unilaterally trusted to own quality and execution for their function.

You’ll own system-level cohesion across the Benepass product, driving unity and clarity across application surfaces.

You’ll be known for your excellence, holding up the quality bar on the team and setting the team’s visual standard.

You’ll be a hands-on designer, partnering with PMs and Engineers and, as needed, directing collaborators or contractors to support execution.

You’ll define how and when design work is reviewed, exercising judgment about which feedback matters and when work is ready to ship.

What You’ll Do

• Take ambiguous product problems and frame them into clear design solutions
• Own the quality standard for design and ensure cohesion and unity across application surfaces
• Complete designs directly and, as needed, direct contractors and collaborators
• Define and run the Design critique process, ensuring high quality designs ship consistently
• Collaborate with integrity and be open to feedback without defensiveness
• Use AI tools to accelerate your work

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years of Design experience, with a minimum of 3 years startup experience
• Demonstrated ownership of design quality end-to-end for a product or major product area
• Experience holding a strong internal quality bar
• Preference for hands-on design work and desire to stay close to execution
• Comfort operating in a complex environment and being the final Design decision maker
• Fintech / benefits / e-commerce experience is a plus
