About the Role
We are seeking a Staff Product Designer who can lead high-impact product design work across multiple teams, connect adjacent product experiences and turn complex problem spaces into coherent shipped outcomes. You have spent 8+ years designing complex digital products, ideally including SaaS, B2B, platform, workflow-heavy, AI-enabled or similarly sophisticated product experiences.
As a staff individual contributor, you will operate across product areas where the right solution depends on more than one roadmap, team or feature brief. You will partner deeply with Product, Engineering, Data, Research, Design leadership and customer-facing teams to frame the right problems, define product experience direction and help teams move from ambiguity to high-quality execution.
This role requires exceptional craft, strong product judgment and the ability to balance strategic influence with hands-on design work. You should be comfortable defining experience direction, mapping complex workflows, prototyping new interaction models, strengthening shared patterns and helping teams preserve quality through implementation.
Design systems are an important part of this role, but not the whole role. You will use systems, patterns, accessibility standards and reusable components to connect product experiences while still leading original, customer-centered design work for high-impact product areas.
Experience using AI-powered tools for exploration, prototyping, critique, synthesis or workflow acceleration is mandatory. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.
What You'll Do
Lead design strategy and execution for complex initiatives that span multiple teams, product surfaces or customer workflows
Translate customer needs, business goals, technical constraints, data signals and product strategy into clear experience direction
Partner with product and engineering leaders to clarify problem spaces, sequence design work and align teams around high-quality outcomes
Create prototypes, workflows, interaction models and high-fidelity designs that make complex product ideas tangible and testable
Identify product experience gaps, design debt and cross-team inconsistencies, then turn them into practical improvements
Shape AI-enabled workflows, intelligent interfaces and automation-heavy experiences that give customers clarity, control and confidence
Strengthen shared patterns, design-system adoption, accessibility standards and implementation guidance across adjacent product areas
Mentor senior and lead designers through critique, coaching, product judgment, storytelling and strong design rationale
Collaborate effectively across US and India time zones in a 100% remote environment
What We Are Looking For
8+ years of relevant product design experience, leading complex, ambiguous and high-impact initiatives across multiple teams or product areas
An exceptional portfolio that demonstrates staff-level craft, product judgment, customer empathy, systems thinking, measurable impact and shipped product quality
Experience shaping product direction beyond a single feature or team, with the ability to connect adjacent workflows into coherent customer experiences
Exceptional visual and interaction design craft, with deep care for hierarchy, layout, typography, grids, spacing, motion, usability, accessibility, content quality and implementation detail
Proven experience across the design lifecycle, including research, information architecture, interaction design, visual design, prototyping, content strategy and usability testing
Strong prototyping fluency, including the ability to use Figma, Framer, AI coding tools or lightweight front-end code to make complex ideas tangible
Experience designing AI-powered, automation-heavy or intelligent product experiences where customers need transparency, control, trust and useful guidance
Deep fluency in design systems, accessibility standards, reusable patterns and scalable product experience decisions
Strong cross-functional leadership skills and the ability to work fluently with product managers, engineers, data partners, customer-facing teams, senior stakeholders and other designers
Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to align teams through customer insight, business rationale, data, prototypes and craft
A collaborative, low-ego leadership style with a track record of mentoring designers, improving critique and raising standards
How You Work
You move comfortably between product strategy, customer insight, systems thinking, prototyping and hands-on design execution
You lead through influence, clarity and credibility across teams that may not report into the same roadmap or operating rhythm
You are a maker as well as a strategist, using prototypes, AI-assisted tools and practical technical fluency to make ideas concrete quickly
You balance speed, detail, scalability and quality without losing sight of the customer
You build trust through warmth, candor, accountability and genuine respect for your teammates as people
You enjoy leading collaboration across time zones and cultural contexts, including with US- and India-based teammates
You communicate in ways that help distributed teams work with clarity, care, trust and momentum
You advocate for accessibility, inclusion and ethical design
