Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of experience designing and shipping complex web-based products founded in data and customer insights
- You work in an AI-first way. You use LLMs, AI-assisted prototyping tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar), and generative workflows as a normal part of how you work — not occasionally, but daily
- Experience designing AI-powered features — conversational interfaces, recommendation systems, agentic workflows, or generative AI applications with a nuanced understanding of how to design for trust, transparency, and appropriate user control
- Strong discernment: you can evaluate AI-generated output critically, identify what's wrong or missing, and know when to accept, redirect, or discard a direction. You are the editorial layer that makes AI useful
- You have expert design instincts and best-practice knowledge to translate user problems, business objectives, and technical constraints into excellent product experiences and you can do it quickly without sacrificing quality
- You're a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can work across multiple projects simultaneously, and brings genuine ownership to your work
- You have experience creating and maintaining components across multiple product surfaces in Figma, and generative AI design tools
- You are a voracious learner — continuously learning how to improve customer experience, drive core metrics, and get the most out of modern design tools and AI capabilities
- You're experimentation-oriented: able to conduct user interviews, form hypotheses, test with prototypes or live experiments, and iterate on what you learn
- You have a passion for typography and copywriting, and know how to write simple, compelling microcopy that supports your UI design
- You think in systems — across surfaces, states, and user journeys — not just screens
- No big ego. We uphold strong rhythms within our PM, Engineering, and Design squads because everyone has respect for each other and a shared understanding of Apollo's goals, vision, and operating principles
- Experience designing for browser extensions, mobile apps, or similarly constrained, high-frequency surfaces is a plus, though not required for this role
What the job involves
- We're hiring a Senior Product Designer who is deeply AI-native in how they work and how they design
- Product Designers at Apollo are trusted partners in shaping strategy, driving experimentation, and creating intuitive, user-centric experiences that deliver measurable impact
- We appreciate designers who think deeply, speak clearly, love collaboration and feedback, and are always learning about best practices to master their craft
- Our Product Managers, Design, and Engineering teams are structured as Squads focused on several core features of the product
- You will be assigned to a Squad alongside one Product Manager and multiple Engineers, and regularly collaborate with designers from other pods to share learnings and ensure a cohesive user experience
- This role will initially be focused on Apollo's Extension and Settings surfaces, helping bring a higher bar of quality and intentionality to how users interact with Apollo outside the core web app
- But more than a domain fit, we're hiring for someone who brings an AI-first approach to both their craft and the experiences they create, someone who uses AI aggressively to move faster, thinks fluently about agentic workflows, and designs AI-powered features with the trust, transparency, and control users need to actually rely on them
- Design intuitive, explainable, and user-centered experiences that integrate seamlessly into Apollo's product ecosystem, surfacing contextual intelligence, automation, and LLM-driven experience in ways users can understand and trust
- Collaborate with AI engineers and data scientists to understand model capabilities, limitations, and optimal UX patterns and translate that understanding into clear interaction models that balance automation with user control
- Lead design for the Extension and Admin surfaces, ensuring they meet a high bar of quality, coherence, and utility across the diverse contexts where users encounter Apollo
- Use AI tools aggressively in your own workflow for ideation, rapid prototyping, research synthesis, and iteration and help raise the bar for how the team uses them
- Partner with PMs, Engineers, and Analysts to identify user needs, pain points, and opportunities through research, data, and experimentation
- Design for scale and consistency by contributing to and building upon Apollo's cross-surface design system in Figma
- Prototype, test, and iterate rapidly, using user feedback and behavioral data to validate solutions and drive toward the best experience — not just a defensible one
- Collaborate with your squad during Weekly Sprint Planning and Daily Standups to ensure the highest-quality experience is being built, and conduct design QA to close the gap between spec and ship
- Collaborate with other Designers to provide feedback, share best practices, and maintain a cohesive experience across the product
- Advocate for the user through interviews, usability tests, and behavioral analytics and triangulate across signals to form well-grounded points of view
Our take
Today, businesses are struggling to make their go-to-market (GTM) strategies simple, connected, and intelligent. In most organizations, sales and marketing teams juggle a maze of disconnected tools just to reach the right customers and close deals. This results in a lot of manual work and missed opportunities. So Apollo.io is stepping in to fill the gap and redefine how modern revenue teams operate by unifying the entire GTM process under one AI-powered roof.
It's trusted by millions of users and over 550,000 companies, including fast-growing startups to established enterprises like Autodesk and Cyera. Apollo's strength lies in combining B2B data with advanced AI to automate everything from prospecting and outreach to deal management and data enrichment. And its new "Agentic End-to-End GTM Platform" takes this one step further by introducing AI agents that act as co-pilots, working alongside sales and marketing teams to research leads, personalize outreach, and streamline workflows.
Recently, the company surpassed $100M in annual recurring revenue, expanding its leadership team with veterans from Zendesk, Intercom, Box, and Miro, and even launched a major product overhaul centered on its new "Vibe GTM" approach. And with its Agentic platform now bringing AI into every stage of the customer journey, Apollo sure is positioning itself to define the next era of AI-powered sales.
