We are seeking an experienced Product Design leader who combines strategic leadership with deep hands-on product design expertise. This individual will lead design across Bentley Open Applications (BOA), one of Bentley's largest and most strategic software portfolios.

This is not a role for a purely theoretical design leader. The ideal candidate has personally designed and launched complex software products, understands modern UX practices, and has successfully scaled design organizations while influencing executive-level product decisions. We're looking for someone who challenges assumptions, pushes teams beyond the status quo, and helps define how AI will transform both Bentley's products and the way design teams operate.
