About Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn't a buzzword - it's a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.

Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.

We are hiring a Lead Product Designer - Mobile Systems to drive the evolution of Slack's mobile design systems across iOS, Android, and iPadOS. This role is critical to bridging the gap between Slack's desktop-first legacy and our mobile-first future, ensuring that our design systems support the entire organization's transition to "Slack-first" development. Designers serve a vital role here: from establishing the foundational systems that enable consistent experiences to the craft and finish of every component across platforms.
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! We appreciate designers who think deeply, speak clearly, love collaboration and feedback, and have an excellent collection of animated gifs.

• Own or operate programming like office hours, systems design reviews, mobile specific design reviews, and hands-on learning opportunities with our design team.

• 7+ years of experience in mobile-focused product design with significant design systems experience, preferably in a lead or senior individual contributor role
• An outstanding portfolio showcasing mobile design systems work, cross-platform design solutions, and examples of scaling design operations
• Proven track record building and maintaining design systems used by multiple teams, with examples of successful design-engineering collaboration
• Deep understanding of iOS and Android design guidelines with experience adapting to platform updates and new device form factors (foldables, tablets)
• Advanced Figma skills including component variants, design tokens, variables, and library management at scale
• Experience with design-to-development handoff for mobile platforms, understanding the technical constraints and opportunities unique to each platform
• Knowledge of accessibility standards for mobile platforms, testing technical implementation in products across platforms, and experience implementing inclusive design practices
• Demonstrated ability to lead without authority influencing design quality across multiple teams, cross-functional stakeholders, and projects simultaneously

Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
