Overview

We are looking for a Lead UX Designer to join our design team. You will be hands‑on, pragmatic, and confident leading complex design work. You will help shape new AI-powered experiences across our Archiving platform and collaborate closely with designers, product managers, and engineers to ensure that what we ship is thoughtful and useful for our clients. You’ll be part of a growing design team spread across London, Vancouver, and New York. We work closely together, but give people autonomy to own their work.

• You will not manage people directly, but you will lead by example by supporting other designers through peer feedback, design reviews, and helping to keep the quality high across the board.
• You will coordinate closely with your UX manager and the cross‑functional teams to align design work with user requirements, business goals, and timelines.

Apply design thinking to AI functionality

What you must have:

• Strong end‑to‑end UX design experience across research, interaction design, and usability testing
• Ability to lead cross‑functional projects and collaborate with cross‑functional teams
• Good understanding of how to design for and with AI technologies
• Clear, structured communication and documentation skills
• University degree in psychology, human‑computer interaction, or other UX related field

Nice to Have:
