Head of Product Design- Product Management

Job Summary

We are seeking a dynamic and visionary Head of Product Design to lead product design, user experience research, and experience architecture across our software products. The role sits within Product Management and operates as a peer to our product leaders, partnering with them from the earliest stages of product discovery through delivery.

Allvue’s Product Management function defines Allvue’s product vision and strategy, and works cross-functionally to lead the delivery, launch and management of the products through their entire lifecycle. This individual will play a pivotal role in shaping the product design and user experience strategy across the product lifecycle, ensuring that our solutions meet the highest standards of usability and user satisfaction. As a peer to product leaders, the Head of Product Design helps lead problem discovery and experience definition before engineering cycles are committed, and partners with product, engineering, customers, and other cross-functional teams to deliver a seamless and engaging user experience across all touchpoints.

With AI fundamentally changing both how products work and how they are built, this role is central to designing agent-driven experiences, where the AI agent is increasingly part of the interface itself, and to defining new AI-enabled products, experiences, and ways of working. It also leads the adoption of AI tools within the design function, reshaping how research, prototyping, and design delivery get done and keeping Allvue at the forefront of AI adoption and enablement.

The best candidate will possess outstanding creativity, a highly detailed nature, and the ability to help define and solve complex user experience problems.
