About the role
- You are not here to execute on someone else's vision.
- The difference is that your execution sets the example and informs the strategy, rather than being the primary output.
- We serve investment managers navigating fund accounting, investor portals, and data-heavy reporting workflows.
Responsibilities
- Own the design system strategy and roadmap: define what the system needs to become, set priorities, establish governance, and build the contribution model that makes it sustainable as the team and product grow.
- Define the AI enablement strategy for design-to-engineering: determine how AI tools are integrated into the workflow from prototype to production, and build the systems that make the whole team faster and higher-quality.
- Set the technical direction for UI quality across the product: define what good looks like, establish the standards and processes that maintain it, and make the case for that standard across design and engineering leadership.
- Identify systemic quality gaps: look across the product surface and name the patterns no one else is naming, then build the plan to address them.
- Partner with Design and Engineering leadership to shape the long-term direction of how the two functions collaborate, where the boundaries are, and how they evolve.
- Founder-led since 2014, backed by $350M+ in funding, and now 1,000+ employees strong, we're building a company designed to shape the future of private markets for decades to come.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience working across design and front-end engineering, with a portfolio that demonstrates both craft and leadership impact.
- Required
- Proven experience building and scaling design systems: owning the roadmap, governance, and adoption strategy across a product organization, not just contributing components.
- A strong, defensible point of view on what makes a great design system, backed by experience driving adoption across a product organization: not just building it, but getting designers and engineers to actually use it.
- Deep front-end engineering skills (TypeScript, React, CSS) alongside genuine design taste. Comfortable reading and writing production code, but leading through judgment rather than throughput.
- Experience defining technical strategy for design tooling, developer experience, or design-to-engineering workflows.
- Experience thinking through how AI tools change team-level design and engineering workflows, and building systems or processes around that.
- Strong communication and influence skills: can align design leadership, engineering leadership, and product around a shared technical direction without formal authority.
- Fluency with AI-powered coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, v0.dev http://v0.dev, or equivalent) as part of your core workflow.
- Preferred
- Background leading design systems work that scaled across multiple product lines or engineering teams.
Skills
- Experience in a complex B2B or enterprise SaaS environment, ideally in a data-heavy domain.
- Background in Financial Services, Investment Management, or Real Estate (Fintech experience is a plus).
