Lead Product Designer

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.

Helping companies reimagine how companies take care of their people.

We are backed by leading investors, including Portage Ventures, Threshold Ventures, Gradient Ventures, Workday Ventures, and Clocktower Technology Ventures. To date, the company has raised $35 million of equity capital.

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.

• 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

• 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

Base salary of $170,000 to $190,000 + Equity

Range(s) is subject to change. Benepass takes a number of factors into account when determining individual starting pay, including your expectations, how you interview, peer compensation, and years of experience. We also look at the market data.

• 95% coverage of medical, dental, and vision

• Fantastic benefits (of course 😃), including:

  • $250 WFH setup

  • $150/month cell phone + internet

  • $100/month Wellness

• We offer several team onsites a year

• Flexible PTO

At Benepass, we are working towards reimaging how companies take care of their people. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all our employees and are seeking to build a team that reflects the diversity of the people we hope to serve with our revolutionary products. Benepass is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer.
