About Plum

At Plum, we’re on a mission to make employee health benefits as intuitive and delightful as your favorite daily app. We’ve built a sharp UX team that can untangle complexity, but we’re hungry for someone who can turn clarity into craft—who sweats the pixels, not just the flows.You’ll be the one who raises our visual game, mentors designers in the trenches, and isn’t afraid to ruffle feathers when design deserves a louder voice. If you love turning “almost there” into “how did they even think of that?“, you’ll thrive here.

Role Responsibilities

1. Transform complexity into clarity. Tackle the gnarly, messy bits of our product and turn them into interfaces users trust without thinking twice.

2. Raise the bar (and the volume). Build design’s influence across teams. Advocate for design in business conversations—and push back when the easy answer isn’t the right one.

3. Use data as your compass. Hunt for user pain points before they become fire, and measure if your fixes actually move the needle.

4. Collaborate and challenge. Work hand-in-hand with Product and Research, but don’t be afraid to say “no” when it matters.

5. Mentor by doing. Level up junior designers through hands-on work, not just slide decks.

What We’re Looking For 

- 6+ years in product design, with at least 2 years leading humans (not just projects)

- Experience at a company where design actually mattered

- A portfolio that shows taste, craft, and real-world impact

Real Talk

This isn’t a place where design always gets its way by default. You’ll need grit, candor, and the confidence to advocate for what’s right—even if it’s not easy. But if you’re looking for a team that wants to be challenged, and a company hungry for design to lead, let’s talk.
