Senior Product Designer

Job Summary / Objective

Player-coach who owns initiative outcomes, balances throughput, and is accountable for vision and quality of delivered solutions.

User Experience (UX) roles design and validate user-centered experiences for complex enterprise software. Across levels, the work spans discovery (research and synthesis), design (information architecture, interaction design, prototyping), documentation (wireframes/specifications), and validation (usability testing and iteration). AI is used to accelerate evidence capture, synthesis, ideation, and delivery - while maintaining responsible, transparent, and user-trustworthy outcomes.

Discovery & Research (plan, conduct, synthesize), Design & Prototyping (flows, IA, interactions, prototypes), Documentation & Handoff (specs, annotations, acceptance criteria support), Validation (usability testing, iteration, quality verification), Standards (accessibility, consistency, design system usage), AI Acceleration (synthesis, ideation, workflow automation with guardrails)

Scope:
Major initiatives and cross-team delivery outcomes. Design Responsibility: final UX quality gate for initiative; owns delivery trade-offs with product/engineering partners. Typical experience guidance: 7-12+ years with proven initiative ownership and mentorship.

• Define, ensure alignment, and communicate a shared UX vision across the initiative or product family, bringing together multiple work streams into a cohesive experience direction.
• Drive throughput: break down work, assign/coordinate across designers, and manage delivery dependencies.
• Provide final design review and quality gate across the initiative; ensure consistency and accessibility.
• Contribute hands‑on to complex/high‑risk areas; unblock delivery as needed.
• Mentor heavily: coaching, critique leadership, skill development and confidence building.
• Lead adoption of AI‑enabled workflows for the initiative while enforcing quality guardrails.

• Lead adoption of AI‑enabled workflows across the initiative.
• Identify high‑value opportunities to accelerate delivery through AI while maintaining the quality and coherence of the user experience.
• Actively encourage the team to use AI tools for realistic prototyping; ensure this capability is supported, practiced, and evaluated as part of the initiative's design workflow.
• Enforce quality:
  Define and enforce guardrails for AI use within the team - what requires human review, what can be AI‑accelerated, and what should not be AI-assisted. Hold the quality gate on AI‑assisted work that ships.
• Develop capability:
  Coach and develop team AI fluency. Ensure designers have the skills and judgment to use AI tools responsibly and effectively - not just efficiently.
• Responsible use:
  Maintain accountability for AI‑assisted work across the initiative. Ensure outputs are traceable, validated, and meet quality, accessibility, and user trust standards before shipping.

• Demonstrated ability to own end‑to‑end UX quality across a major initiative or product family, with accountability for outcomes.
• Experience coordinating design work across multiple designers or work streams - breaking down work, managing dependencies, unblocking delivery.
• Strong mentorship track record; able to develop designer capability, build confidence, and lead critique culture.
• Balances hands‑on design contribution with initiative‑level coordination and stakeholder alignment simultaneously.
• Sets the standard for design communication across the initiative - from critique and feedback to stakeholder alignment and delivery trade‑offs.

• Experience running design programs or initiatives spanning multiple teams or product areas.
• History of improving team delivery practices - review cadence, critique quality, handoff consistency.
• Experience working within or enforcing design system governance across teams.
• Familiarity with AI‑enabled design workflows and experience governing their responsible use.
• Experience with resource planning or capacity management for a design function.
