About The Position

We’re hiring a Staff Product Designer to help shape the future of enterprise software in an AI-native company. Laurel transforms how professional services firms manage time, building powerful tools for operations and admin teams who work with complexity daily.

You’ll design systems that feel intuitive, communicate your thinking with confidence and care, and collaborate across teams to move work forward with purpose. You’ll translate intricate workflows into experiences that balance usability, elegance, and scalability. It’s an exciting moment to be a designer in AI—new capabilities are transforming enterprise products, and we’re eager to explore them with you. If you’re energized by big challenges, thrive in thoughtful collaboration, and are ready to help lead Laurel into its next chapter, we’d love to meet you.
