Job Description

Design at The Stepstone Group

Find the right job for everyone.
That’s our mission — and it’s also the lens through which design drives impact across Stepstone. Design has been embedded in our DNA for over a decade, and today, our product design organisation is more ambitious, focused, and mature than ever.

We are a team of 40+ extraordinary individuals across Product Design, User Research, Content Design, Design Systems, Design Operations, and Foundations — united by a belief that great experiences are intentional, human, and deeply crafted.

Design is represented at every level of leadership — which means you’ll be supported not just in execution, but in driving strategy, shaping direction, and challenging the status quo across the business.

Our work spans the entire ecosystem — across both B2C and B2B — helping candidates find the right role and enabling recruiters to find the right talent. It’s a full-spectrum design organisation, where your decisions ripple across real human journeys, not just screens.

The role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer with the vision, precision, and craft to redefine what world-class product design looks like — not just inside Stepstone, but across the industry.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role — ideal for someone who sees design as a strategic force, not just a function. You’ll lead the experience vision for an entire product stream, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and designing with intention, clarity, and care.

You’ll work side-by-side with Product Directors, Heads of Product, Engineers, and Researchers to identify the highest-leverage opportunities and turn them into meaningful, measurable outcomes.

You won’t just improve flows — you’ll rethink how people find jobs, how technology can better support real human needs, and how great design can make complexity feel simple.

You’ll be expected to:

• Set the quality bar — and raise it
• Challenge assumptions — including your own
• Tell the story — and bring others with you
• Design extraordinary experiences that move the needle for both users and the business

What You’ll Do

You’ll report into one of our Product Design Managers and work alongside deeply experienced product, engineering, and research partners. But you’ll lead with autonomy — setting the bar for execution, quality, and clarity within your domain.

• Design simple, intuitive, and human-centered experiences that solve real problems — with precision, creativity, and intent
• Define your own impact in partnership with Product — shaping priorities, owning outcomes, and holding yourself to the same success metrics as your team
• Elevate the quality of what we ship — through best-in-class craft, systems thinking, and product clarity
• Help set the strategic direction of your product stream — connecting user insight to business goals, and turning ambiguity into focus
• Lead critical initiatives — navigating complexity, aligning stakeholders, and creating momentum across multiple tracks of work
• Mentor and support other designers — helping raise the bar through high standards, thoughtful critique, and leading by example
• Be a voice for quality, creativity, and simplicity — not just in what we design, but in how we work

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

We know job descriptions can feel like checklists, and we don’t expect perfection. If you see yourself in some of these, we’d love to hear from you.

• You’ve shipped real products with meaningful user and business impact — across consumer, enterprise, or multi-sided ecosystems
• You hold an exceptional standard of craft — connecting insight to execution, and obsessing over the details that turn good into unforgettable
• You’re a powerful storyteller — able to bring stakeholders on the journey, build alignment, and inspire action through narrative
• Prototyping is your superpower — you bring ideas to life quickly and use them to align minds, shape strategy, and build belief
• You’ve contributed to evolving a design system — not just using components, but driving new patterns, behaviors, and creative innovation
• You understand that brilliant design isn’t just about how things look — it’s about what we choose to build, what we choose not to, and why

We’re not just building better products — we’re building one of the most thoughtful, high-performing design orgs in the industry. If that sounds like something you want to help shape, let’s talk.
