About the Role

A leadership role responsible for shaping the design of an AI powered procurement product. You will lead a small design team within a fast growing product organization and help ensure the product remains user friendly while integrating human oversight with AI agents.

What You'll Do

- Develop mental models, UI patterns, and frameworks to make complex procurement decisions legible and trustworthy.
- 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.
