As a Lead Product Designer for Deal Sourcing, you will drive the design strategy and end‑to‑end user experience for a purpose‑built Deal Sourcing product. This is a high‑impact, strategic role that requires strong vision, leadership, and the ability to translate complex business and user needs into cohesive, intuitive, and innovative design solutions. We’re looking for a self‑starter and problem solver who brings energy, motivation, and a can‑do spirit to every challenge.

You’ll define and deliver holistic, data‑driven, and intuitive product experiences that empower private equity investment professionals to conduct market analysis, develop investment strategies, and leverage Pitch Book’s deep data, research, and insights to identify and execute on deal opportunities—helping them make smarter investment decisions and achieve their objectives. With deep expertise in user experience design, you’ll lead the end‑to‑end design process, collaborating closely with product management, engineering, senior stakeholders, and leadership to align on vision and direction.

Your work will span from strategy to execution—defining experience principles, helping shape the product roadmap, and guiding concepts from inception to delivery.

As a design leader, you’ll influence the broader design organization by mentoring peers, contributing to Pitch Book’s evolving design system and standards, and championing user‑centered thinking across teams. You’ll play a pivotal role in establishing the Deal Sourcing product’s foundation and identity, driving clarity, innovation, and cohesion across touchpoints—ultimately shaping how Pitch Book empowers investment professionals to discover, evaluate, and act on company investment opportunities with confidence.
