Gradial is the marketing operations system of work that helps marketers and creatives move from idea to execution faster. Our platform orchestrates across martech stacks, workflows, and people to automate marketing execution, cutting execution time, so marketers focus on the work only humans can do: shaping brands, understanding customers, and creating the work that moves people.
Backed by leading investors, we’re building software that adapts to the user, not the other way around. We move with urgency, operate with ownership, and solve hard problems from first principles. If you want to do ambitious work, take real responsibility, and help define the future of AI-native content operations, you’ll do your best work here.
The Role
We’re looking for a Principle Product Designer to help shape what world-class design looks like at Gradial. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who loves big, messy product problems and knows how to turn them into experiences that feel clear, thoughtful, and surprisingly fun to use. You’ll work closely with the Head of Product, product engineers, FDEs, customer-facing teams, and company leadership to design an AI-native platform for enterprise marketing teams.
You’ll move between systems and craft every day: understanding complex workflows, mapping user journeys, prototyping new ideas, and polishing the details that make a product feel genuinely thoughtful, from the main interaction all the way down to an empty state, loading moment, or tiny bit of copy.
This role is ideal for a designer who likes building, not just handing off. Someone who can think in systems, prototype quickly, partner deeply with technical teams, and bring a strong point of view on how powerful enterprise software can feel simple, trustworthy, and enjoyable.

Why This Role Matters
Gradial is solving a big, complex, exciting problem: helping enterprise marketing teams get from intent to execution without all the operational drag in between. Design is central to that mission. The right experience can make AI feel useful instead of confusing, enterprise workflows feel lightweight instead of overwhelming, and complex systems feel calm, clear, and trustworthy. As a Principle Product Designer, you’ll help shape the product experience that makes Gradial not just powerful, but genuinely enjoyable to use.
Compensation
The salary range for this position is $160,000 – $185,000 annually. Final compensation will be determined based on factors such as experience, skills, and qualifications. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for performance-based bonuses and equity awards. Gradial offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental & vision insurance, 401K retirement plan, paid time off, paid sick leave and other employee wellness programs.
As an AI-first company, we prioritize AI literacy as a core competency in our hiring decisions. We’re excited by candidates who thoughtfully apply AI tools in their work, but during interviews we’re focused on you. This is your opportunity to show how you think, communicate, and solve problems. Over-reliance on AI-generated responses during the interview process (especially when it obscures your own voice) will result in disqualification. We want to understand your unique perspective and how you approach challenges, both with and without AI.
Gradial is dedicated to creating an environment where diverse perspectives are valued and all team members can grow. We offer competitive compensation, equity, flexible work hours, comprehensive benefits, and a collaborative culture focused on learning and impact.
