• Design and refine sophisticated editing experiences, including visual canvases, controls, templates, responsive layouts, previews, publishing states, and AI-assisted creation workflows.
• Apply exceptional visual and interaction design craft across hierarchy, layout, typography, grids, spacing, motion, accessibility, usability, and overall product quality.
• Influence senior stakeholders through customer insights, data synthesis, product judgment, storytelling, and well-reasoned design recommendations.
• Lead design quality reviews and establish standards for usability, accessibility, interaction quality, visual consistency, and design-system alignment.
• Mentor designers, strengthen critique and design practices, and help multiple teams adopt scalable patterns and higher-quality standards.
• Lead complex discovery initiatives in ambiguous environments by synthesizing research and inputs, framing problems, clarifying decisions, and helping teams move forward.
• Advocate for accessible, inclusive, and ethical product experiences while balancing speed, scalability, detail, and quality.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of relevant product design experience, including at least 2 years in a leadership, mentorship, or design-direction capacity.
• Experience with creator tools, WYSIWYG editors, drag-and-drop interfaces, no-code builders, SaaS, B2B, platforms, or workflow-heavy products is highly valuable.
• An exceptional portfolio demonstrating systematic thinking, customer empathy, outstanding design craft, measurable product impact, and leadership beyond individual execution. Portfolio submission is required.
• Proven ability to lead product design across the full lifecycle, including research, information architecture, interaction design, visual design, prototyping, content strategy, and usability testing.
• Exceptional visual and interaction design skills, with strong attention to hierarchy, typography, grids, spacing, motion, usability, accessibility, and product quality.
• Experience designing visual creation workflows such as drag-and-drop editing, page or email composition, responsive controls, asset management, templates, previews, publishing flows, or versioning.
• Experience designing AI-powered or intelligent interfaces, including AI-assisted creation, recommendations, automation, or guided editing experiences.
• Mandatory experience using AI-powered tools for exploration, prototyping, critique, synthesis, or workflow acceleration.
• Deep knowledge of design systems, accessibility standards, reusable patterns, and scalable product experience decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to influence design direction across high-impact product areas, systems, platforms, or product pillars rather than only individual features.
• Strong cross-functional leadership skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with Product, Engineering, Data, Customer Success, stakeholders, and fellow designers.
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to simplify complex concepts, lead critiques and workshops, and influence decisions through evidence and design rationale.
