• Stay hands-on across priority research, concepts, prototypes and production design.

Workload, Backlog and Team Leadership

• Own and prioritise the design backlog, balancing urgent needs across product lines.
• Manage team capacity and hire, support and develop designers as the organisation grows.

Customer Research and Validation

• Lead customer research to validate designs, assumptions and design-system decisions.
• Use direct customer evidence to refine requirements and improve outcomes.

Cross-functional Product Delivery

• Partner with Product and Engineering to translate requirements into buildable designs.
• Balance customer value, product consistency and technical feasibility through delivery.

Design Systems and AI-enabled Practice

• Build and govern scalable design systems across multiple products.
• Define practical uses of AI across research, prototyping and production design.

What You Bring

• Proven experience leading a design team across concurrent product lines, including prioritising work when multiple needs are urgent.
• Experience designing the UX across complex configurable platforms that serve numerous user personas.
• Experience balancing design leadership with hands-on contribution in a lean team.
• Practical experience using AI within research, prototyping and production design, with a clear understanding of its value and limitations.
• Strong partnership skills across Product and Engineering, including translating business requirements into effective, buildable design outcomes.
• Ability to communicate design direction, priorities and trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience inheriting a sizeable existing design backlog.
• Experience in EHS, compliance or another regulated-industry platform.
• Experience in a private equity-backed SaaS company.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, scaling organisation.
