You will own design for key Verifications product areas—including drug and occupational health testing—across candidate, employer, and internal operational experiences. Your responsibilities span discovery through launch and iteration. You'll partner closely with Product and Engineering to define problems, shape roadmaps, and deliver solutions that align user needs with business outcomes.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning end-to-end design for Verifications products (employment, education, criminal record, driving record, drug & occupational health testing)
- Simplifying complex workflows (verification requests, document collection, consent/authorization, appointment scheduling, status visibility, exception handling) into clear, user-friendly experiences
- Using AI-assisted design and development tools to rapidly prototype, validate, and implement lightweight UI changes
- Designing for trust and clarity in a sensitive, regulated domain—prioritizing transparency, error prevention, accessibility, and confidence-building UI patterns
- Translating insights into outcomes by combining qualitative research, stakeholder input, and product data
- Creating thoughtful interaction and visual design across responsive web and/or platform surfaces
- Facilitating alignment through workshops, design reviews, and strong storytelling
- Collaborating cross-functionally with Customer Success, Sales, Compliance/Legal, Data, and Operations
- Contributing to design systems and standards
Checkr operates hub locations in Denver, CO; San Francisco, CA; Nashville, TN; and Santiago, Chile. Individuals are expected to work from the office 3+ days per week. In-office perks include lunch five times a week, commuter stipend, and snacks/beverages. A relocation stipend may be available.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- 5–8+ years of product design experience (or equivalent) with a strong track record of shipping high-quality work
- Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end thinking: problem framing, exploration, rationale, collaboration, iteration, and measurable impact
- Comfort working in complex domains where edge cases matter; ability to distill complexity into simple, usable flows
- Strong product instincts—balancing user needs, business goals, technical constraints, and timeline realities
- Experience in collaborative, cross-functional environments, influencing decisions through clarity rather than authority
- Ability to independently plan and execute lightweight research (interviews, usability testing, concept validation)
- Attention to detail: interaction patterns, content clarity, information hierarchy, and accessibility best practices
- A-player mindset with strong bias for action, raising the bar, moving with urgency, staying resilient through ambiguity, and taking ownership
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience in background screening, HR tech, healthcare, identity, compliance-heavy, or other high-trust regulated spaces
- Experience designing B2B / B2B2C products, especially workflows used by operations teams or external partners
- Familiarity with design systems, documentation, and scalable component thinking
- Experience designing for secure data, consent, and privacy-forward user experiences
