The Role
We are looking for a Senior/Staff Product Designer to lead design at Accord - owning our design system, elevating craft across the product, and shaping how modern go-to-market teams collaborate and close deals.
You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and our GTM team to shape the roadmap, evolve our design system, and deliver features used daily by some of the fastest-growing companies. This is an opportunity to own end-to-end design in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment where quality and speed both matter.
This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco (near the Montgomery stop) - our team works together in the office three days a week to move quickly, collaborate deeply, and keep the creative energy high.
💡 We know great designers come from all backgrounds. Even if you don’t meet 100% of the qualifications below, we’d still love to hear from you - especially if you bring unique perspectives, experiences, or skills that could make Accord better.
You Will
- Own design for major product initiatives end-to-end (research to concept to visual design to delivery)
- Design for complex systems - multi-user workflows, permissions, integrations - and make them feel simple
- Lead user research and translate insights into actionable product improvements
- Own our design system and visual language
- Champion user experience across the company, balancing craft with business impact
- Collaborate closely with the team to influence the roadmap and vision
Who We're Looking For
- 5-8 years of experience designing SaaS or workflow products (B2B, data-rich, or enterprise tools a plus)
- Hold a high bar for craft and usability, and consistently push for exceptional user experiences
- Start-up experience is a must: you must be able to move fast without cutting corners
- Strength in interaction design, systems thinking, and visual polish
- Have built out a design system and scale it across multiple surfaces
- Thrive in ambiguity and enjoy creating clarity, structure and momentum
- Curious and excited by how AI can supplement - not replace - human creativity and craft
- Bonus: experience with sales tech, CRM or workflow tools or designing AI-powered
