About the Company:

The client:

Chances are, if you've worked for a startup or an established small-to-medium-sized business, you're probably already familiar with our client!

They're a late-stage Benefits / Payroll platform tech company (Series E, pre-IPO) in an exciting stage of massive growth (we are working on 8 searches for them right now!), and with great name recognition. They provide SMBs - including many in the tech industry - high-quality, enterprise-level health insurance and payroll tools that smaller businesses and their employees wouldn’t otherwise have access to.

They also have an incredible culture, rooted in honesty, openness, integrity, friendliness, no-ego, and inclusion – “collaboration” isn’t just a a word on a cheesy poster in their hallways – it’s their values at their core. 

Their street cred:

Fortune magazine named them to their Best Workplaces in New York list 5 times, and they’re also on BuiltIn’s list of “NYC Best Large Companies to Work For".

They’ve been in business for 10+ years and are an important player in the $40B HR Tech industry. They’re secured $160M in funding from many top VCs including Bain, Thrive, FirstMark Capital, and Union Square Ventures.

Their star is rapidly rising; it’s a great time to get in the door! They recently expanded into global markets and have grown consistently and intelligently year over year, including during times when many other companies were laying people off. 

They’re currently at 1300 total employees, with 30+ Designers, and have doubled their Product org in the last 2 years. They’re now adding a full suite of products to their already well-known core product, so they’re in a great place for continued growth and visibility!

What’s happening there in Design:

A year ago, they hired their first-ever VP of Design, who we’ve known for years and ADORE. His arrival there is a great signal for their investment in Design and respect for the discipline, and indeed, he’s raised the visibility and power of Design within the org exponentially.

We’ve helped this VP grow his teams through the years and have seen firsthand how his design teams adore and trust him. He’s empathic, strategic, supersmart, and a thought leader in the space. Plus, he’s got a great sense of humor – which makes for a super enjoyable work vibe!

These roles reports each report into a Director of Product Design.

Visas:

Sorry, but no visa sponsorships or transfers are available at this time.
