As a Senior Product Designer at Degreed, you’ll take a lead role within your product team, working closely with the Product Manager and Engineering Lead to drive complex, high-impact initiatives.

Strong user research, prototyping, and visual design skills are key, along with the ability to work within and evolve our design system.

Beyond individual contributions, you'll help build team culture, influence design direction at scale, and improve the way we work—always keeping both the big picture and the finer details in mind.
