Ziprecruiter Senior Director, Product Design at ZipRecruiter leads the UX practice and defines the future of Product Design with a focus on AI integration. This role combines hands-on design leadership with strategic influence across product, engineering, and decision science teams.

Responsibilities

Understand Our Users and Champion the UX They Need: Develop a deep, empathetic understanding of our users and their workflows to guide solution design and decision-making. Leveraging this understanding, you will have the autonomy and authority to advocate for the UX you believe will set the product up for success – from iterative experiments to holistic redesigns.
Personal Ownership of Outcomes in Priority Areas: Dive into top priorities for increasing conversations between job seekers and employers. While you won't be expected to push pixels, you will get hands-on in forming and executing a strong POV on how to uplevel the user experience in key areas and informing where to focus next.
Lead the Team: Define expectations and success measures for the Product Design team. Develop talent and build a thriving culture where the Product Design team has a consistent positive impact on the product roadmap and product outcomes.
Pioneer AI in Product Design: Contemplate and build the future of the Product Design function in the age of AI.
