Advocate for great UX, inspiring your teams with a strong point of view about what’s possible and aspirational for your product area
Hold high standards for the customer experience, including partnering with engineering partners to refine the end customer experience and ensure that what we release is bug free, performant, accessible, and responsive
Design for how your experience fits into our system and advocate for cohesive experiences through the use of Workbench, our Design System, and other platform capabilities

Provide and seek feedback from other designers to always push the bar for quality
Collaborate with designers on other teams to develop cohesive solutions for shared problems
You’ll drive team-wide impact through mentorship, fostering a culture of growth and collaboration

Experience designing end-to-end customer journeys from software to service
Strong understanding of common web patterns, foundations, and the ability to discern when to innovate versus adopt existing standards
Strong opinions loosely held and a willingness to engage in constructive debates about scope and tradeoffs to build alignment and unblock work
Strong UX craft — you can break down complex experiences and design with consideration for all touchpoints
Ability to embrace ambiguous situations as opportunities to create
Passion for Gusto’s mission and the impact we can have on the world
