Lead Product Designer
to help grow and improve Slack’s native productivity tools like
Canvas, Lists, Files, Huddles, Email, and Calendar . In this role, you’ll shape how these tools work together to create

Lead design for complex, high-impact productivity features
Turn fuzzy problems into clear, simple solutions
Partner closely with Product and Engineering to shape strategy and execution
Create flows, prototypes, and high-quality designs using Slack’s design system
Give clear feedback and raise the bar for craft across the team
Over time, you will:
Help shape the product vision for Slack’s productivity tools
Connect experiences across tools so they feel seamless
Influence decisions beyond your immediate team
Improve how design works across the pillar
Your impact:
Better clarity, flow, and focus for people doing work in Slack
Stronger, more connected productivity experiences
Higher design quality across the Productivity pillar
Required Qualifications
8+ years of experience in product design for desktop or mobile
A strong portfolio showing end-to-end design thinking and craft
Experience leading design on complex or unclear problems
Deep understanding of UX, interaction design, visual design, and motion design
Experience working closely with Product and Engineering partners
Ability to explain your ideas clearly and influence decisions
Experience designing systems that scale to many users
Strong attention to quality, accessibility, and detail
Proven experience using AI in the design process to inform decisions, accelerate iteration, and deliver stronger design outcomes
Preferred Qualifications Nice to have, but not required:
Experience designing productivity, collaboration, or enterprise tools
Familiarity with design systems at scale
Interest in how AI can improve everyday work
Slack is part of
Salesforce , and we value people who are curious, kind, and excited to build great things together. If you love turning complexity into clarity — and want to shape how work gets done — this role is for you.
