About the role

Original posting from hirehire via Ashby

Role: Staff Product Designer, Growth

Company: Deel

Location: Fully remote

Job type: Full-time

About Deel

Deel is an all-in-one payroll and HR platform for global teams. It covers HRIS, payroll, compliance, benefits and equipment for every type of worker in 150+ countries. About 7,000 people work there, fully remote, across more than 100 countries and 74 languages. Deel reached $1B in annual revenue in just over five years and is valued at $17.3B. It’s pre-IPO and leans heavily into AI. Each designer works with about five engineers, and AI has made the team much faster this year.

About the role

Growth at Deel doesn’t follow a fixed roadmap. The team works from a queue of ideas: lots of CRO experiments and bigger growth bets. On some projects you’ll own the design from start to finish. On others you’ll set the direction and keep the quality high without building a full prototype yourself. Everything you work on ties back to activation, engagement, retention and revenue.

What you’ll do

  • Lead design across growth projects and connect each one to the numbers that matter: activation, engagement, retention and monetisation.
  • Design, prototype and A/B test quickly, together with product, engineering, data and marketing.
  • Work with the Deel UI team on the design system, including motion, animations and micro-interactions that make growth flows feel good.
  • Spot where users or the team get stuck, and fix it.
  • Stay close to your engineers from first idea to design QA, and keep the team moving.
  • Mentor product designers and help improve how the team works day to day.

What you need to succeed

  • 5–7 years in product design, including 2+ at Staff level.
  • Real growth design experience. Onboarding flows, pricing pages, subscriptions or virality features are a great sign.
  • Excellent craft, and a portfolio that makes people say “wow”. It needs at least one case study.
  • You’re comfortable with experiments and data: you form hypotheses, run A/B tests and show measurable results. Amplitude, Mixpanel or similar tools feel familiar.
  • AI is the first tool you reach for, before Figma or a doc. If you have AI work in your portfolio, we’d love to see it.
  • You’d rather build than talk about building. You enjoy moving fast and don’t mind figuring things out as you go.
  • You communicate clearly and bring people with you, across product, engineering, data and marketing.

Nice to have

  • You can ship your own work to production, for example through the frontend repo, Claude Code or internal tools.
  • Personal projects you’re proud of.

What you get

  • High-impact growth work at a pre-IPO company, with stock grants depending on your role and location.
  • Fully remote, async-friendly work, plus an optional flexible office membership with IWG.
  • A strong design team to learn from, and a clear career ladder.
  • Fair pay based on your skills and experience. Deel never asks about your salary history.
