The combination of a rapidly evolving industry and our high ambitions means there’s going to be some ambiguity along the way, but we excel when we challenge ourselves.

About the Role:

As a member of the Product and Engineering team at Pitch Book, you will be part of a team of big thinkers, innovators, and problem solvers who strive to deepen the positive impact we have on our customers and our company every day. We value curiosity and the drive to find better ways of doing things. We thrive on customer empathy, which remains our focus when creating excellent customer experiences through product innovation.

As a Lead Product Designer for Deal Sourcing, you will define and execute the end-to-end design strategy for a purpose-built Deal Sourcing product. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role on a fast-moving, startup-style team backed by the scale, structure, and resources of an established organization. The role requires strong design judgment, strategic thinking, and the ability to translate complex business and user needs into clear, intuitive product experiences.

We’re looking for a self-starter and problem solver who brings energy, motivation, and a can-do spirit to every challenge, and who thrives in bringing clarity to ambiguous problem spaces.

You’ll shape how Pitch Book empowers 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. You’ll be responsible for the entire product experience across all areas of the product—establishing experience principles, aligning design decisions with product and business strategy, and guiding work from early discovery through delivery.

In close partnership with product management, engineering, and senior stakeholders, you’ll help define the roadmap, navigate complex tradeoffs, and ensure the experience is cohesive, intuitive, and scalable as the product evolves.

As a design leader, you’ll help elevate the broader design organization by aligning teams around a shared vision, mentoring peers, and reviewing and guiding design work. You’ll contribute to Pitch Book’s evolving design systems and standards while championing user-centered thinking across teams. You’ll play a key role in establishing the Deal Sourcing product’s foundation and identity—driving clarity, cohesion, and innovation across touchpoints, and shaping how investment professionals discover, evaluate, and act on opportunities with confidence.

We know that greatness is achieved through collaboration and diverse points of view, so we work closely with partners around the globe. As a team, we assume positive intent in each other’s words and actions, value constructive discussions, and foster a respectful working environment built on integrity, growth, and business value. We invest heavily in our people, who are eager to learn and constantly improve.
