Senior CX/UX Designer (AI Innovation for Tax & Accounting) – Hybrid (CT/ET) R0056829

Design AI-powered experiences that transform tax and accounting workflows.

As a Senior CX/UX Designer, your mission is to create user-facing experiences that incorporate AI, machine learning, and automation into tax and accounting workflows, with a primary focus on an AI-powered tax research and guidance experience. You will design solutions that help tax professionals ask better questions, find trusted answers faster, and confidently interpret complex and evolving tax regulations.

This includes rapidly moving from hypothesis to validated customer journeys by creating multi-modal prototypes and simulations, using lightweight coding concepts and AI assisted development to explore interactions and accelerate design to delivery collaboration with engineering partners.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver intuitive, compliant, and scalable agentic experiences that support tax research, contextual guidance, and in-the-moment decision making.

Tax and accounting professionals rely on accurate, explainable, and timely answers to navigate complex regulatory environments. AI can significantly improve how professionals discover, understand, and apply tax guidance, but only if designed responsibly. This role ensures that AI-driven research and answer experiences are intuitive, transparent, compliant, and user-centric.

• Agentic solutions improve the speed, confidence, and accuracy of tax research and question answering workflows.
• AI-driven answers are transparent, trustworthy, and aligned with regulatory and editorial standards.
• Solutions meet regulatory compliance, data privacy, and accessibility standards.
• Prototypes and design systems accelerate delivery without compromising quality.
