Product Designer III

RESPONSIBILITIES:
A client with Kforce is seeking a Product Designer III to join their team in Mountain View, CA.

Overview:
As a Staff Product Designer (CW) on the VEP team, you will lead design across a complicated domain - owning end-to-end expert and customer success workflows. You will bring deep craft and systems thinking to the tools, workflows, and AI-assisted experiences that empower our Customer Success Managers, product experts, and domain specialists to deliver exceptional service.

Responsibilities:

* Interaction design - Distill complicated CSM and expert workflows into simple, clear designs and strategies;
Own and visualize your domain's end-to-end experiences - including Salesforce-based workflows - and ensure consistency of patterns, flows, and mental models across them

* Visual design - Role model high standards of taste, balancing creativity and innovation with consistency;
Leverage expert-level craft to design novel visual and interaction solutions that diverge from standard patterns to elevate the product and exceed user expectations

* Designing with AI - Lead the application of AI in your domain's design strategy, delivering AI-powered tools and workflows that standardize expert activities, reduce manual effort, and streamline customer success operations;
Operate fluidly across the full builder proficiency spectrum - slowing down to validate concepts and document patterns when needed (Think It Through), collapsing research, design, and build into a single fast loop to accelerate learning (Prototype It), and delivering agent-ready specs with evals defined before build starts (Build It)

* AI prototyping - Use AI-assisted tools to rapidly prototype conversational flows, agentic experiences, and usability test artifacts;
Drive a "0 to first draft" culture on the team that accelerates alignment and narrows approaches faster

REQUIREMENTS:

* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Design, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience

* 8+ years of experience in product design, interaction design, or a related field - ideally at a SaaS, platform, or enterprise company

* Expert command of user-centered design methods, including systems thinking, interaction design, visual design, and research synthesis

* Proven track record of leading design from ambiguous problems to shipped product at significant scale

* Experience designing complex, multi-sided or platform-level products - bonus if this includes enterprise, mid-market, customer success, or AI-driven experiences

* Familiarity with enterprise design systems (e.g. Salesforce Lightning) and a knack for simplifying complex operational workflows into intuitive, scalable solutions
