As Senior Product Designer for Verifications, you will own end-to-end design for Checkr's verification products, including employment, education, criminal record, and driving record verifications, with emphasis on drug and occupational health testing.

- Partnering with Product and Engineering to define problems, shape roadmaps, and deliver solutions aligned with user needs and business outcomes

- Using AI-assisted design and development tools to rapidly prototype, validate, and implement lightweight UI changes
- Designing for trust and clarity in a regulated domain, prioritizing transparency, error prevention, accessibility, and confidence-building patterns
- Combining qualitative research, stakeholder input, and product data to propose, test, and refine solutions
- Creating interaction and visual design across responsive web and platform surfaces with clear specs for engineering
- Facilitating alignment through workshops, design reviews, and storytelling to move teams from ambiguity to decisions
- Collaborating with Customer Success, Sales, Compliance/Legal, Data, and Operations to ensure real-world viability
- Contributing to design systems and standards for consistency and quality

Requirements:
- 5–8+ years of product design experience with 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) and partner with researchers
- Attention to detail: interaction patterns, content clarity, information hierarchy, accessibility best practices
- A-player mindset with strong bias for action, raising the bar, moving with urgency, staying resilient through ambiguity, taking ownership
Nice to have:
- Experience in background screening, HR tech, healthcare, identity, compliance-heavy, or high-trust regulated spaces
- Experience designing B2B/B2B2C products, especially workflows for 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
