Principal Product Designer, Presence

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Principal Product Designer, Presence based in the United States.

This is a systems-level design opportunity focused on shaping how people, creators, businesses, and communities establish their presence across a complex digital ecosystem.
You’ll define the experience architecture connecting identity, profiles, business presence, community context, discovery, navigation, and participation.
Rather than owning a single feature, you’ll establish durable models and interaction patterns that multiple product teams can build upon.
You’ll influence long-term product strategy while translating ambitious future-state concepts into practical, near-term execution.
The role offers significant visibility, partnering with senior leaders across Product, Engineering, Research, Data Science, Content Design, and Design.
You’ll use research, experimentation, AI-assisted design tools, and rapid prototyping to resolve complex ecosystem challenges and accelerate decision-making.
This is an opportunity for a highly experienced designer to make a large-scale product ecosystem feel simpler, more coherent, accessible, and trustworthy.

• Define the UX architecture and experience strategy for Presence across profiles, identity, business tools, community context, discovery, navigation, and emerging product surfaces.
• Translate broad organizational priorities into multi-year experience strategies, decision frameworks, and clear paths from the current product experience toward future-state visions.
• Establish shared experience models, interaction patterns, navigation approaches, and design principles that enable multiple teams to build cohesive experiences.
• Identify and resolve overlaps, gaps, inconsistencies, and competing approaches across product teams before they create fragmented user experiences or duplicated investments.
• Influence product strategy, priorities, and planning by partnering with senior Product, Engineering, Research, Data Science, Content Design, and Design leaders.
• Lead UX framing for complex, high-stakes ecosystem decisions, presenting recommendations, alternatives, risks, trade-offs, and success indicators to senior and executive stakeholders.
• Use AI-assisted design and coding tools to rapidly prototype future-state experiences, test system behavior, uncover edge cases, and support strategic decision-making.
• Establish a high bar for interaction design, information architecture, accessibility, trust, and overall system coherence across the product ecosystem.
• Mentor senior designers and contribute to the development of design practices, frameworks, and organizational capabilities.

Requirements:

• 10–12+ years of product design experience, including leadership of platform-scale or ecosystem-level initiatives spanning multiple product areas, preferably within consumer technology.
• A portfolio demonstrating Principal-level scope, including original product vision, systems architecture, sophisticated interaction design, executive influence, cross-product coherence, and measurable impact beyond an individual team or launch.
• Proven experience defining foundational product architecture, shared interaction models, design systems, or platform strategies adopted across multiple teams.
• Demonstrated ability to influence product priorities and executive decisions without relying on direct authority.
• Strong track record of translating long-term product vision into executable near-term launches, experiments, milestones, and organizational commitments.
• Expert-level interaction design and information architecture capabilities, with strong judgment around when to reuse existing patterns, evolve them, or introduce new ones.
• Fluency with AI-assisted design and coding workflows, particularly using prototypes and emerging tools to validate system behavior, explore possibilities, and inform strategic decisions.
• Strong understanding of user research, data, experimentation, accessibility, and technical constraints.
• Exceptional communication, storytelling, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to align diverse teams around complex design decisions.
• Strategic, systems-oriented mindset with the ability to simplify highly complex ecosystems while maintaining a strong focus on user needs, trust, and business outcomes.

Benefits:

• Competitive base salary: $223,600–$313,000 USD, with final compensation determined by factors including skills, depth of experience, and relevant credentials.
• Equity: Eligibility for equity compensation in the form of restricted stock units.
• Healthcare: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Retirement: 401(k) program with employer matching.
• Income protection: Income replacement and related benefit programs.
• Paid time off: Flexible vacation and paid volunteer time off.
• Parental support: Generous paid parental leave and family planning benefits.
• Family benefits: Programs supporting caregiving and major family milestones.
• Gender-affirming care: Benefits designed to support gender-affirming healthcare needs.
• Mental health: Mental health and coaching resources.
• Professional development: Global benefits supporting professional growth and development.
• Remote flexibility: Fully remote-friendly opportunity for candidates based in the United States.
• Office access: Employees near San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, or Chicago may use local offices as often as they choose.
• Community and connection: Opportunities for collaboration and connection across distributed teams and locations.
• Accessibility and inclusion: Commitment to reasonable accommodations and an inclusive, equitable workplace.
