8+ years of product design experience, with meaningful time at senior or staff level
Proven track record owning complex B2B product areas end-to-end, including multi-entity workflows where data relationships, user roles, and cross-team collaboration intersect
0-to-1 product ownership: you've started from a problem rather than a spec, and made good calls under uncertainty
Strong systems thinking and Figma/prototyping craft, deep involvement in user research from planning through synthesis, and the ability to influence product vision rather than just execute it
B2B SaaS background, especially in complex or enterprise-adjacent systems
Experience with agentic or AI-powered product surfaces, and already using AI tools in your design practice
Design systems experience: defining patterns, not just using them
Exposure to compliance, data integrity, or workflow-heavy domains
Experience mentoring or coaching other designers
