Product Designer (New Grad)

The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated at even the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T+ per year globally (>30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend) and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses.

Our cofounders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly intractable problem with a purpose-built procurement platform that provides a simple, consumer-grade user experience. Within the last 4 years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and Prudential rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.

We have a world-class team coming from category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers. Join us!

We’re growing rapidly in 2026 and are excited to hire our first-ever cohort of New Grad Product Designers at Zip. This is a unique opportunity to join the company early in your career and help shape both the product.

As a Product Designer at Zip, you’ll work on real, customer-facing features across a wide product surface area, which could include request management, workflow builders, dashboards, sourcing, and payments. You’ll be supported by experienced designers, PMs, and engineers who care deeply about craft, collaboration, and building consumer-grade experiences for complex enterprise workflows.

This role is designed for designers who are eager to learn, take ownership early, and grow quickly by working on high-impact problems used by some of the world’s leading companies.
