CoAdvantage, an Aquiline Capital Partners portfolio company, is seeking a Senior UX Designer to join our growing team. We’re building a UX organization with strong leadership support and a clear role in shaping product direction - not just executing within it. Our platform is evolving, our design system is growing, and our approach to AI is still being shaped. Your work will directly influence how all of it develops. The experiences you design will be used every day by people doing essential work - and your contribution will make those experiences clearer, simpler, and more human.
At CoAdvantage, your work touches experiences every employee understands - getting paid accurately and on time, enrolling in benefits, navigating life changes, and feeling confident that the details are handled correctly.
Every design decision you make helps someone feel informed, supported, and confident in moments that matter. That responsibility shapes how we approach our work. From payroll and benefits to compliance and risk management, CoAdvantage supports the full employee lifecycle with solutions designed to scale alongside our clients. Behind every screen is an employee verifying a paycheck, a new hire navigating benefits, or an admin managing critical deadlines. The work we do has immediate, real-world consequences - and we take that seriously.
