Job description

We serve consulting and private equity professionals at global strategy firms, boutique M&A advisors, and independent investment teams. These users are highly capable but chronically short on time. Their days are filled with administrative overhead: managing large volumes of diligence calls, cleaning up transcripts, extracting quotes, tracking entities across projects, and manually translating insights into decks; all under intense time pressure.

We remove this friction by automating call ingestion, transcript normalization, quote extraction, and insight structuring, allowing users to focus on high-impact thinking: deal sourcing, analysis, and recommendations that drive outcomes.

💡 The Role

You’ll have an outsized impact on the product and how our users work day to day. You’ll move fast, own design decisions end to end, and help define entirely new interaction paradigms for AI powered software.

You will:

• Move quickly from concept to shipped product
• Design new, AI-native ways of working with computers
• Contribute to cutting-edge LLM-driven product development
• Work closely with external partners and customers to inform design decisions
• Play an active role in product strategy, prioritization, and direction
• Designing novel human-in-the-loop interfaces that steer and refine LLM behavior
• Building an AI-powered, auto-populated hypothesis tracking system for investment research
• Designing and launching a mobile app from scratch on a rapid timeline
• Creating real-time collaboration features for consultants and investors

We’re looking for a product-focused designer

• Demonstrates excellent taste and strong design judgment
• Brings sharp product instincts and a systems-level mindset
• Has led projects independently from early concept through execution
• Is opinionated, thoughtful, and eager to influence product decisions
• Communicates clearly and is comfortable working directly with clients
• Enjoys close collaboration with engineers in a highly technical environment
• Is curious about AI tools and excited to experiment with faster design-to-code workflows
