• Own and evolve the design system and component architecture to support agent driven development and rapid iteration.

• Translate procurement concepts into accessible UX for non analysts users.

• Build, hire, and lead a design team of around four product designers and set standards for craft, speed, and impact.

• Position design as a strategic partner within the product trio alongside product and engineering.

• Promote UX research practices and advocate for real user problems across the company.

What We're Looking For

• 6+ years in product design with 2+ years leading a design team at high growth tech companies known for design excellence.

• Extensive experience designing data heavy, workflow driven products and applying systems and reusable interaction patterns.

• Fluency designing AI native experiences involving LLMs, agents, automation, and trustworthy human oversight.

• Ability to operate as both a strategic design leader and a hands-on product designer.

• Strong English communication skills.

• Startup experience or equivalent project complexity with demonstrated performance in demanding environments.
