The Role

At Outreach, our product philosophy is to focus on what makes our end users, sales professionals, wildly successful. As a Group Design Manager at Outreach, you have a profound impact on the way customers like Dropbox, Adobe, Zendesk, and Workday move through their daily selling experience.
