What You Can Expect:
We’re searching for an exceptional Lead Product Designer who is passionate about communication and collaboration tools. You'll bring expertise in these or related areas to shape a more intuitive and powerful Zoom Meetings experience, one of the most visible and impactful products in our ecosystem. From the join experience to the in-meeting interface and AI-driven enhancements, your work will define how millions of users around the world connect, collaborate, and communicate daily.
As Zoom Meetings evolves, you’ll design seamless interactions that prioritize usability, visual polish, and innovation - creating fast, intuitive, and engaging experiences across desktop and mobile.
This role is ideal for a designer who embraces complexity but transforms it into clarity, simplicity, and joy. You'll turn intricate workflows into intuitive, human-centered experiences that make it easier for people to connect, communicate, and collaborate.
About the Team:
As our flagship product, Zoom Meetings facilitates hundreds of millions of daily calls and has established itself as the market leader in this space. Zoom is also redefining what it means to connect in a hybrid world—across work, life, learning, and beyond. Our design team is at the heart of that mission, crafting thoughtful, inclusive, and forward-thinking experiences across our suite of products.
As part of the Meetings design team, you’ll join a group of passionate, collaborative, and impact-driven designers who obsess over every pixel and interaction.

If you're excited about designing for scale, accessibility, and visual polish, this is the team for you.
Responsibilities:
Designing at Scale - Lead high-impact, mission-critical projects that define the future of Zoom Meetings, including join flow, in-meeting UI, audio/video settings, and AI-driven features. Own the design strategy and execution end-to-end with a strong emphasis on refined, production-ready visuals.

Strategic Collaboration – Partner with cross-functional teams (PM, engineering, research, and accessibility) to align on product direction, deliver impactful work, and champion design excellence across surfaces.
Design Leadership & Vision - Play a key role in driving high-quality design within the Meetings team. Collaborate closely with design leadership to bring clarity and consistency across projects, and ensure design decisions align with the broader vision for Zoom Meetings.
Advocating for Users – Champion user-centered design, balancing simplicity and modern capabilities to create intuitive, high-impact experiences.
Quality through Data & Insight - Leverage both qualitative and quantitative data to guide design decisions, evaluate success, and identify opportunities for improvement.
Craft in Figma – Own design execution with confidence in Figma, delivering concept designs, robust prototypes, and clear specifications for engineering partners.
What We’re Looking For:
Have 12+ years in user-centered design, with a deep focus on real-time communication, collaboration, video, or social tools and a track record of crafting seamless, engaging interactions.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
Experience leading complex projects involving cross-functional and cross-team stakeholder groups, spanning different timezones
Demonstrate confidence to question, inspire, and influence, driving cross-functional teams toward world-class user experiences in fast-moving, opinionated environments.
Strong systems thinker with the ability to contribute back to Prism, our design systems library.
Expertise in Figma (and other relevant tools) for designing, prototyping, and refining intuitive meeting interactions.
