Founded in 2011, Alpha Sense is headquartered in New York City with more than 2,000 employees across the globe and offices in the U.S., U.K., Finland, India, Singapore, Canada, and Ireland. Come join us!

We’re hiring a design leader to own the experience of Alpha Sense’s most important frontier: the AI-native, agentic product our customers use to build on proprietary financial data.

Alpha Sense is shifting from a research library into an end-to-end workflow platform: a "super analyst" with agentic, computer-use capabilities that lets analysts go from question to discovery to synthesis to finished work product (dashboards, decks, models, generated outputs) without leaving the platform. It’s an enormous opportunity, and today the experience is fragmented: years of incremental features, two search paradigms that don’t yet converge, no self-service onboarding, and a wide spectrum of AI fluency across our users.

You will own the design vision for the AI experience and lead a small team to ship it. You’ll set a clear point of view on where the UX is going, collaborate with Product and Engineering while constructively challenging decisions to raise the bar, and turn an ambiguous, cross-team problem space into a coherent, high-quality, trustworthy product.

This is a player-coach role: like all of our directors, you’ll lead a small team of senior designers while staying hands-on with the craft. We’re open to hiring at Director or Senior Director
, depending on scope and experience (see Levels below), with a preference for candidates located in NYC, in a similar time zone, or able to travel.

At Alpha Sense, design is a core driver of how we win. As we build an AI-native platform, the quality of our user experience will define how effectively customers can navigate complexity, build conviction, and make high-stakes financial decisions with confidence.

In this role, you will set that standard through the AI experience you shape, the team you grow, and the craft bar you hold across the product.

What You’ll Do:

• Set the UX direction for the core AI / agentic experience: a clear, opinionated vision for how analysts work with AI on high-stakes financial decisions, and a sequenced path from today’s product to that north star.
• Lead through influence and craft: partner with an SVP of Product and multiple PMs (across NY and the UK), advocating for the best experience while working through business goals, timelines, and technical constraints to decide the real first step.
• Solve the hard, data-dense UX problems: malleable UI with sensible defaults for hedge funds and banks (without overwhelming them), taming information overload, trust and transparency in AI-mediated workflows…
