  • Leverage AI and automation to improve accessibility, governance, and production efficiency
  • Simplify complex workflows
  • Work directly with creators, partners, and teams to understand real-world needs.
  • Prototype and deliver intuitive, scalable solutions that turn complexity into clarity and empower teams to design with speed and consistency
  • Lead with design thinking
  • Frame problems, bring clarity to ambiguity, and raise the bar for what great design looks like across products and experiences
  • Champion design excellence and practice
  • Model high-quality design in your own work and foster a culture of critique, shared principles, and continuous improvement across the organization
  • Drive adoption and alignment
  • Partner with engineers and product managers to embed platform-first thinking into product roadmaps — ensuring shared systems are adopted, maintained, and evolved collaboratively
  • Mentor and elevate
  • Guide designers in systems thinking, platform design, and the creative use of AI tools — helping the team grow their craft, confidence, and impact.

Requirements:

  • A hands-on design leader with 8+ years of experience designing and shipping complex products, platforms, or workflow systems
  • Proven ability to build or evolve design systems that scale across multiple teams and products
  • Deep understanding of design thinking and research, and the ability to turn insight into elegant, scalable solutions
  • A passion for developing design practice and culture — from critique to craft to cross-functional collaboration
  • Curiosity about AI in design and how emerging tools can unlock new ways of working
  • Strong communication and influence skills; able to lead through craft, clarity, and collaboration rather than hierarchy.
