Staff Product Designer

- Quality Bar: Define what "great" looks like for the surfaces you own - not just functional, but the kind of synthesis that makes something feel magical. Build standards and systems that hold that bar even as AI generates more of the UI, so quality doesn't depend on you personally reviewing every screen.

- Design System Stewardship: Drive the strategic direction, quality, and consistency of our design system. Identify gaps across business lines, advocate for system investment, and support adoption through AI enablement.

- Strategy & Vision: Contribute directly to product strategy and drive product vision in partnership with product leads. Bring a first-principles lens to the biggest, most ambiguous problems.

- Complex System Design: Solve system-level design challenges-the kind that touch information architecture, shared components, and cross-surface consistency.

- Research Leadership: Lead quantitative and qualitative research efforts that inform decisions across your product area, not just a single feature.

- Mentorship & Guild Leadership: Coach and grow other designers. Actively lead initiatives, design reviews, and process improvements that raise the bar for the whole team.

- Storytelling & Influence: Communicate design rationale and strategy clearly to cross-functional and executive audiences. Anticipate pushback and address it before it becomes a blocker.

- Our design system is a force multiplier for engineering and design because you drove its evolution.

- Multiple product teams are moving faster because you identified and solved a shared problem they couldn't see on their own.

- Designers you mentor show observable growth in their craft and confidence.

- Leadership trusts your judgment on ambiguous, high-stakes design and strategy calls.

- Design's presence and influence in cross-functional and executive conversations visibly increases.

- 8+ years designing complex B2B SaaS products, with demonstrated experience operating above a single product team.

- Direct experience owning or significantly shaping a design system (component strategy, documentation, adoption, and governance).

- Experience with token-based design systems and component libraries that span design tooling (e.g., Figma) and code (e.g., Storybook).

- Background at a design-forward, product-led company recognized for design as a differentiator, or equivalent demonstrated top-tier craft.

- Proven ability to manage ambiguous, cross-team initiatives autonomously, from problem framing through execution.

- Strong track record mentoring designers and shaping team practices or standards.

- Excellent communication skills, with experience influencing product and engineering leadership.

- Experience in accounting, financial services, or other operationally complex B2B verticals.

- Experience leading or contributing to a design guild, community of practice, or similar cross-team design function.

- You'll shape not just what we ship, but how we ship it, building the system and standards that every designer after you will build on. If you're energized by finding leverage other people miss, and you want a seat at the table where product strategy actually gets decided, this is that role.
