About the role

  • Today, much of our structural UX expertise lives in one place at the leadership level.
  • This is the kind of work that quietly determines whether a product feels effortless or exhausting - and whether customers stay.
  • If you want to be the person who sets and holds that bar across an entire platform, this is your seat.

Responsibilities

  • Own information architecture across all surfaces. Maintain a coherent IA across new and legacy platform areas. Audit existing structures, find the fracture points, and resolve them with a long-term foundation in mind.
  • Set and carry cross-swimlane UX standards. Operate horizontally across every product design swimlane, ensuring structural UX thinking is applied consistently - everywhere the product lives, not just where attention happens to land.
  • Champion a blueprint-first design motion.
  • Elevate the design practice. Coach and model what strong structural thinking looks like, leveling up the team so it builds things right from the start rather than requiring correction after the fact.
  • Build the UX foundation for AI products. Partner closely with the AI product team to ensure the UX layer is structured, scalable, and ready to support intelligent product experiences.
  • Hold platform integrity - old and new. Maintain the standard across the current platform and future builds, progressively bringing legacy areas up to standard.
  • Transfer knowledge and level the team. Spread UX architecture thinking throughout the design org, building a team that constructs correctly from the start.
  • Experience establishing design processes, review practices, and reusable patterns/component foundations at scale.
  • Fluency partnering with Product and Engineering on AI or platform-level initiatives, with an eye for building UX foundations that scale.
  • A clear decline in siloed design decisions across product swimlanes.

Requirements

  • You have a growth mindset.
  • You're deeply experienced and entirely secure - which is exactly why you can coach, listen, and influence rather than dictate.
  • 8+ years of hands-on and/or managerial UX experience with deep, demonstrated expertise in information architecture and structural/systems-level SaaS design.
  • A track record of owning IA across complex, multi-surface products - including untangling fractured or legacy structures.
  • The ability to set standards and influence horizontally across multiple teams without direct authority - leadership through craft and clarity.

Nice to have

  • Engineering experience (JSON, CSS, C++) / Python-ML background - a plus.
