Essential Job Duties
We’re looking for a Product Designer to craft thoughtful, user-centered experiences across our Payroll, Benefits, and Time product areas. You’ll help shape how HR administrators, payroll managers, and employees run payroll, manage benefits, and track time with clarity and confidence. Your work will directly influence the efficiency, accuracy, and day-to-day workflows of thousands of organizations.
As the Product Designer in this space, you’ll work closely with Product Management and Engineering to explore user needs, design seamless workflows, and iterate on solutions that make complex processes feel simple. If you have experience designing in structured or workflow-heavy domains—or are excited to learn—this role offers the chance to impact some of the most critical parts of the HR experience.
As a Product Designer (UX Designer) at BambooHR, you'll design intuitive, scalable, and delightful experiences for the teams and administrators who rely on our HR platform. You'll combine user research, interaction design, and visual UI design to support payroll, benefits, and time-related workflows. In short, we will look to you to create products that our customers love to use.
You will:
- Shape the future of our payroll, benefits, and time products by defining user interactions and workflows that improve clarity and efficiency.
- Conduct user research (contextual inquiry, usability testing, competitive analysis) to uncover pain points and opportunities.
- Design beautiful and accessible experiences that align with our design system.
- Work closely with engineering to bring designs to life with precision and polish.
- Advocate for human-centered experiences, ensuring our solutions reduce complexity and support confident decision-making.

- A strong portfolio showcasing your work, including research, interaction design, and visual UI execution.
- Proven experience designing and shipping SaaS-based software products, from discovery to launch.
- Ability to translate business requirements and domain complexity into intuitive user experiences.
- Strong communication skills—you’re comfortable presenting work, discussing trade-offs, and advocating for users.
- Ability to self-manage and juggle multiple projects while keeping deliverables on track.
What Will Make Us REALLY Love You
