Lead Product Designer, Slack AI – Slack

About Salesforce

We’re Salesforce, the Customer Company, inspiring the future of business with AI+ Data +CRM. Leading with our core values, we help companies across every industry blaze new trails and connect with customers in a whole new way. And, we empower you to be a Trailblazer, too — driving your performance and career growth, charting new paths, and improving the state of the world. If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good – you’ve come to the right place.

We are hiring a Lead Product Designer to help craft the future of Slack, specifically the efforts around LLM-based collaborative tooling within Slack. We believe that AI will fundamentally change how our customers engage with Slack and amplify their ability to communicate, collaborate, and get work done—and, further, we believe that a well-designed user experience will be instrumental in making this future a reality.

Designers serve a vital role here: from creating the experience of new features, to the craft and finish of every detail in the product. We appreciate designers who think deeply, speak clearly, love collaboration and feedback, and have an excellent collection of animated gifs.

At Slack, we have a positive, diverse, and encouraging culture — we look for people who are curious, inventive, and work to be a little better every single day!
