  • Create scalable design foundations and systems to support future growth
  • Work directly with large enterprise clients to observe real workflows and iterate in live environments
  • Partner closely with product and engineering to ship pragmatic, high-impact solutions
  • Establish usability standards and experience principles from first principles

Who you are

  • Senior product design leader with deep enterprise B2B experience
  • Strong systems thinker, comfortable in data-heavy and integration-led environments
  • Obsessed with clarity, simplification, and reducing friction in high-stakes operational tools
  • Comfortable operating as a hands-on IC while setting long-term design direction
  • Energised by early-stage environments and building foundations that scale

What’s on offer

  • Founding-level ownership over the product experience
