At Plum, our purpose is to empower everyone to realize their full potential at work. We are a Waterloo-based SaaS company that provides a talent assessment platform that strips away bias and reveals human potential to revolutionize how global enterprises hire, grow, and retain talent. With unmatched scalability, Plum powers more objective and equitable talent decisions across the employee lifecycle using the predictive power of psychometric data.

We are looking for a UX Designer to join our team. As a UX Designer at Plum, you will lead efforts to create new and better experiences for Plum’s growing roster of customers. By bringing your full arsenal of user research, interaction design, and visual design, you, along with the rest of our talented Design Team will be building the future.

From ideation to development to release, you’ll work with the Product, Design, Marketing, and Software Engineering teams to deliver products that are changing the landscape in Talent Management. We know, Talent Management isn’t as sexy as the latest AI photo app that puts mustaches on everyone, but it’s a space that has few real tools yet. You’ll help build a new set of applications the business world desperately needs.

Plum is currently a 32-person company that is rapidly growing and moving to a remote-first, office optional work environment. Our ideal candidate can be located in Canada or the USA and will be able to work Eastern Time (ET) hours.
