Job Description

Posted on: September 12, 2026

Lead Product Designer (IC)

Location: Hybrid: New York City, Portland, Boise, or Bozeman preferred


Successful applicants must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. on a full-time, permanent basis. The client is unable to provide sponsorship for employment visas now or at any point in the future. Candidates who will require visa sponsorship to maintain employment eligibility down the road will not be considered.


About the Company

Our client is a fast-growing, VC-backed B2B AI software company building technology that helps go-to-market teams better understand and act on buyer intelligence. The company grew ARR 10x in 2025, works with major enterprise customers, and has a team of approximately 20 people.


Location (give or take):

We’re remote-first, with groups of teammates in Portland, New York City, Boise, and Bozeman. Our preference is to have someone in one of those hubs. We like working together, we take the work seriously, and we also expect people to have lives outside of it. We have artists, chefs, cyclists, dancers, and ultramarathoners on our team, and we’d love for you to bring yourself to it.


The role:

We’re hiring our Lead Product Designer.

You’ll own design across the product, from early ideas through the details that make it into customers’ hands. You’ll also help us establish the design practices, systems, and standards we don’t yet have.


The product itself presents an unusual design challenge. Some customers work directly in their software to build and manage their company’s buyer intelligence. Many users instead encounter that intelligence inside tools they already use, such as Claude and Slack.

You’ll help us make those experiences feel like parts of one coherent product.

We’re a highly autonomous team. We move quickly, make judgment calls with incomplete information, and have fun.


What you’ll do:

  • Lead product design from early exploration through final implementation
  • Improve the usability and visual quality of our existing product
  • Design experiences across the platform and the tools where our intelligence appears
  • Build a practical design system that helps us move faster and stay consistent
  • Work closely with product and engineering to decide what we build, not just how it looks
  • Give clear feedback, explain your reasoning, and raise the quality bar across the company
  • Be a strong partner for product in proactively answering questions for engineering
  • Shape our approach to UX and UI
  • Help lay the foundation for a future design team while remaining deeply hands-on


Who you are:

  • You have ~5 or more years of product design experience
  • You have strong portfolio showing thoughtful end-to-end product work and excellent visual craft
  • You have experience designing complex software, workflows, or systems—not just isolated screens
  • You’re okay being wrong. An imperfect decision early or on time is better than the right decision too late
  • You want to work with an extremely high performing team.
  • You have experience with AI tools, both within and without the design process
  • You can turn ambiguous problems into clear, useful experiences
  • You are passionate about something outside of work. We believe everyone works best when they have multiple interests


Experience as an early designer at a startup is a plus.


Benefits:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance, with 90% of employee and 75% of dependent premiums covered
  • 401(k) with 3% company match
  • Unlimited PTO and 18 company holidays
  • 12 weeks paid parental leave
  • Flexible hybrid environment with no mandated number of in-office days
  • Regular in-person team and company gatherings
