About the Role
We are seeking a Lead/Staff Product Designer to own complex, high-impact problem spaces end-to-end, from discovery through to shipped outcomes. This senior individual-contributor role requires AI fluency and involves partnering with leadership, mentoring designers, and setting the standard for design work. The ideal candidate will use AI-native workflows to prototype rapidly and raise the bar for design craft and pace.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end design for a major problem space in our marketplace (buying, selling, or dealer-facing products), from discovery and framing through to launch and iteration.
- Prototype at pace using AI, getting real, testable experiences in front of users and stakeholders early and often.
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, using AI-assisted workflows to close the gap between design intent and shipped product.
- Set direction by identifying opportunities, making the case with evidence, and bringing product and engineering partners along.
- Raise the craft bar across the team through critique, mentorship, and by making your own work an example.
- Champion AI-native ways of working, sharing techniques, building reusable prompts and workflows, and helping the wider team level up.
- Ground decisions in evidence, combining user research, data, and rapid experimentation.
Requirements
- 7+ years of product design experience, with a track record of leading complex, high-impact work in consumer or marketplace products.
- Native app experience.
- A high degree of AI fluency. Hands-on, demonstrable experience using Claude Design (or an equivalent AI design/prototyping tool) as a core part of your workflow.
- Strong end-to-end craft: ability to go from a fuzzy problem statement to polished, production-ready design.
- Comfort with ambiguity and pace; ability to make good decisions with incomplete information and iterate quickly.
- Excellent communication and influence: ability to align senior stakeholders, tell a compelling story with work, and hold ground constructively.
- Experience mentoring designers and lifting the standard of a team.
