Job description

The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated at even the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T+ per year globally (>30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend) and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses.

Our cofounders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly intractable problem with a purpose-built procurement platform that provides a simple, consumer-grade user experience. Within the last 4 years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and Prudential rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.

We have a world-class team coming from category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers. Join us!

We are growing rapidly in 2024 and need your help:

Come join us on this incredible journey as an early team member in product design. You’ll get the opportunity to shape the product as well as the team.

Your role

We're looking to bring on a designer to lead product design in one of our core teams.

We move quickly to solve a wide range of complex product challenges with 100% emphasis on end-user experience.

• Own the overall user experience for a specific product area.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years of experience, preferably at a SaaS or consumer technology company

• Experience shipping at least one full product or a significant feature as the lead designer

• Experience iterating with engineers and other team members on both visual and UX designs to get the experience and details just right

• Great presentation, collaboration and communication skills

• Empathetic champion for your work’s audience and customers

• Fluency in Figma and prototyping tools

• Understanding of the technical limitations and workflow for building web interfaces (CSS/HTML/JS) and native mobile apps (Swift, Kotlin/Java)
