First of all - Thank You!

This probably isn’t the first job description you’ve read today. Maybe this is one of over 100 you reviewed this week. So, before we go any further, we want to stop and say thank you for considering this role. We know you have options and we’d like you to consider adding us to that list.

About Leadr:

At Leadr, we’re on a mission to rid the world of bad management, by empowering middle managers to become exceptional leaders who transform the culture and outcomes of their teams.
Today, too many companies leave managers to fend for themselves, resulting in a 60% failure rate within their first two years for first-time leaders. The rapid growth of AI is worsening this problem, as the purview of the modern manager expands. While many organizations respond to these challenges with internal training programs, these are frequently relegated to already overwhelmed HR leaders, who are taught to prioritize compliance and administration rather than genuinely improving team clarity, cohesion, and performance.
We see middle managers differently: they are the heartbeat of company culture and the driving force behind team results. At Leadr, we build AI-powered software tools that improve quality of life for those managers, while coaching them toward better leadership and outcomes – paired with hands-on training for these leaders to teach them the most critical skills overlooked by companies.
When you join Leadr, you’re committing to help us tackle this important and rewarding challenge: transforming how people lead.

Your Role:

Leadr is hiring a UI/UX designer to improve the user experience in our flagship SaaS app. We help business leaders spot trends across their organizations and enable their managers to be more successful by structuring their meetings, strategic objectives, and performance reviews. Put simply, we need help to take an information-dense domain and make it more digestible and delightful for busy professionals.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with Product Managers to build UI designs that fulfill feature requirements, building on an established design language
  • Proactively identify areas of improvement in the application and propose solutions, especially related to user experience
  • Participate in the technical planning process to ensure that UI designs are properly implemented by engineering work
  • Participate in the quality assurance process to ensure that implemented features provide the best possible user experience

A competitive candidate will have:

  • 1-2 years of SaaS design experience with Figma
  • Strong professional communication skills in verbal and written English
  • Experience working with and extending design libraries

The ideal candidate will have:

  • 3 years of SaaS design experience with Figma
  • Experience with accessibility standards, including screen reader enablement and other vision impairment needs
Leadr is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Our goal is that everyone, regardless of their culture, background, and perspective, has the opportunity to love Mondays as much as Fridays. Thank you again for your time and interest!

Leadr's journey began in the fall of 2018. Matt Tresidder, after an intense six-year period at the rapidly growing startup Pushpay, decided to take a well-deserved break and travel the world with his wife. A few months into this sabbatical, a call from Chris Heaslip, co-founder of Pushpay, sparked a new idea. Chris asked Matt about his next venture, and Matt expressed a desire to start something new, fueled by his passion for leading and developing others. This conversation laid the groundwork for months of brainstorming on how technology could be leveraged to enhance leadership skills. In June 2019, Matt Tresidder and Chris Heaslip co-founded Leadr.

The initial phase was a whirlwind of ideation, product innovation, and creating a minimum viable product (MVP). They took their product to market, focusing on the economics of running a business while striving to maintain a high level of excellence for their customers. The early days involved taking small, deliberate steps towards their mission of making people better leaders. Starting with zero customers in 2020, Leadr grew to serve over 340 organizations by mid-2021. The team also expanded, from 15 staff members in July 2020 to over 40 full-time employees a year later. This growth was driven by customers who believed in the importance of developing leaders at every level and by new hires who were drawn to Leadr's mission. A significant milestone was reached in July 2021 with the closing of a $10 million Series A funding round, enabling Leadr to take larger strides towards its goal of developing 1 million leaders. The company moved its headquarters to Plano, Texas, and by December 2021, celebrated onboarding its 500th customer. In February 2021, Matt Tresidder officially became CEO, with Chris Heaslip taking on the role of Executive Chairman. Leadr's mission is to transform managers into coaches to drive team effectiveness and develop 1 million leaders worldwide.
