With clients ranging from 500 to 500,000 employees across a wide variety of sectors, our platform must provide an intuitive and seamless user experience for a diverse range of users—from office workers to factory staff and offshore teams.


Your main focus will be on leading and mentoring the UX team, setting a vision for product design that ensures our software is user-friendly, accessible, and role-based, providing each user with a tailored experience. You’ll collaborate closely with stakeholders across Product, Development, and Localization to ensure a cohesive and innovative approach to UX design.
You’ll be part of the Product & Tech Team and work closely with product owners, developers, and our leadership team, reporting to the Chief Product Officer (CPO).
