About the Role
This role is critical to Jira's reinvention and its transition into the AI era. You will help define a cohesive, end-to-end vision for Jira’s AI transformation, connecting customer journeys to phased product innovation. You will lead a small but focused team, guiding interaction architecture and design patterns that simplify a powerful, customizable product without losing the depth enterprise teams need. You’ll help shape Jira’s agent experiences and human-in-the-loop decisions in close collaboration with Confluence and other teams across the Teamwork Collection portfolio.
Responsibilities
- Set a cohesive end-to-end design vision for Jira’s reinvention, translating blue-sky thinking into phased innovation with product and engineering partners rather than relying on piecemeal iteration
- Lead and develop a focused team of up to ten designers, including senior ICs, and align them around a shared vision and a high bar for visual and interaction design
- Shape systems-level interaction architecture and customer journeys that simplify complex, customizable Jira workflows without sacrificing the needs of enterprise customers
- Guide AI-native and agentic experiences in Jira, including the role of human judgment and oversight, in collaboration with Confluence and other portfolio teams
- Partner with product, engineering, and design leaders to communicate the vision, prioritize opportunities, and ship compelling experiences
- Raise design quality through hands-on critique, coaching, prototyping, and strong collaboration with senior ICs; encourage exploration beyond current product conventions
- Connect Jira’s future direction with shared UX frameworks and design patterns across the broader Atlassian ecosystem
Requirements
- Experience leading and developing a focused design team and collaborating closely with senior ICs on ambitious product work
- A portfolio showing exceptional visual and interaction design with evidence of turning complex workflows into coherent, usable experiences
- Experience designing B2B software, tools, or other complex product ecosystems with varied customer needs and degrees of customization
- Systems and journey-level thinking: ability to establish an end-to-end vision and translate it into practical phases of product innovation
- Fluency in AI-native product opportunities and thoughtful human-in-the-loop interactions, paired with curiosity about how teams will work with agents
- Ability to partner with product and engineering, communicate a compelling future direction, and uphold a high craft bar through ambiguity
- 10+ years in design leadership
- Experience shipping complex product work
