Job summary

The role focuses on exploring ambiguous spaces, building end-to-end flows and prototypes, translating AI features into intuitive UI, and advocating for user-centered design with stakeholders across product and content strategy.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of product design experience, or a related degree with equivalent practical experience.
• A portfolio demonstrating strong UX and visual design across responsive, multi-surface experiences.
• Experience working in early-stage, exploratory, or 0-to-1 product spaces — where the problem is as undefined as the solution.
• Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to make progress without a clear brief or complete information.
• Strong visual and interaction craft, with the range to move from rough explorations to polished, shippable UI.
• Proficiency in Figma and ability to convey ideas through prototyping in Figma, Cursor, etc.
• Strong problem-solving skills and solid grounding in core UX principles and methodologies.
• Empathy for both customers and teammates, with a process rooted in listening and understanding.
• Ability to clearly communicate complex ideas verbally and in writing, at all levels of the organization.
• Familiarity with AI/ML-powered product experiences.

Responsibilities

• Explore. Work in ambiguous, early-stage problem spaces generating concepts, stress-testing assumptions, and finding the most promising directions before a path is clear.
• Build. Develop sketches, end-to-end flows, prototypes, and polished UI — adapting fidelity to what the problem needs, not what’s comfortable.
• Simplify. Translate complex, AI-powered capabilities into experiences that feel natural and crafted for everyday document users.
• Champion. Develop a strong point of view grounded in user research and data, and advocate for it clearly, even when the direction is still forming.
• Collaborate. Partner closely with research, product management, engineering, and content strategy to ensure alignment on direction and progress rapidly from concept to testable experience.
• Influence. Drive alignment through compelling storytelling and present build rationale confidently to partners and leadership.
• Elevate. Uphold a high bar for designcraft and contribute to the growth of teammates around you.
