Principal Product Designer

Lead design strategy for Gallup products that enhance people’s work and lives.

As a principal product designer at Gallup, you will serve as the strategic design leader for CliftonStrengths® or Gallup’s employee experience platform, Gallup Access, defining what we build and how it comes to life across every customer touchpoint. You will bring together web, mobile and marketing into one cohesive customer journey, ensuring that every interaction reflects the clarity and impact of the science behind it.

In this role, you’ll influence product direction, translate complex insights into intuitive experiences and elevate design quality across the organization.

What You’ll Do

• Influence senior stakeholders through clear communication and confident design rationale
• Explore emerging tools and AI-enabled workflows that improve how we design, prototype and collaborate

What Makes You Stand Out

• Ecosystem leadership: You have experience aligning multiple teams or product groups around a unified design vision.
• Systems-scale thinker: You have built or evolved design systems and understand component architecture, governance and cross-team adoption at scale.
• Outcome-oriented operator: You prioritize getting meaningful work done over tooling preferences and adapt quickly as workflows evolve.
• Complexity translator: You distill technical, data-rich or scientific content into intuitive user experiences that exceed expectations.
• Influential communicator: You confidently align senior stakeholders and cross-functional leaders around strategic design decisions.

What You Need

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in human-computer interaction, product design, interaction design, computer science, cognitive science or related field, or equivalent experience, required
