About the role

  • Serve as the UX authority for the AI Solutions Delivery team — advising analysts on design approach, interaction patterns, and user experience strategy for every solution they build
  • Review AI-generated UIs produced via AI-assisted development platforms, providing precise, actionable design direction to iterate toward production quality
  • Drive UI design directly for high-visibility or complex solutions, taking ownership from concept through delivery
  • Establish and maintain UX standards and design patterns across the firm's growing library of AI-powered tools
  • Conduct lightweight user research and stakeholder feedback sessions to validate design decisions with attorneys and operational teams
  • Champion accessibility, consistency, and usability across all solutions — ensuring AI tools are intuitive for legal professionals, not just technically functional
  • Stay ahead of evolving AI interface patterns, conversational UX, and agentic workflow design — bringing emerging best practices to the team

Requirements

  • 3+ years of UX or product design experience, with a portfolio of shipped digital products
  • Strong design judgment — the ability to evaluate any interface, articulate exactly what's working and what isn't, and direct iterative improvement with precision
  • AI fluency — you use AI tools regularly, understand their output, and can direct AI-assisted design workflows rather than being dependent on traditional design tooling
  • Experience designing for complex workflows — multi-step processes, data-dense interfaces, or tools used by professional or expert users
  • Excellent communication and advisory skills — you can explain a design decision to a non-designer stakeholder as confidently as to a developer
  • Solid grasp of accessibility standards, responsive design, and web UI fundamentals
  • Bachelor's degree in Design, HCI, Computer Science, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
  • Preferred: Experience designing conversational interfaces, AI agents, or prompt-driven workflows
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted development and design tools, including code-generating and UI-generating platforms
  • Exposure to legal, financial, or other professional services environments.
  • Experience contributing to or establishing a design system in a fast-moving organization.
Benefits
  • Wellness is integral to building a successful career and a rich life.
  • Our benefits program supports your physical, emotional, mental, and financial health, with an emphasis on work-life balance.
  • Generous compensation packages that recognize hard work and excellence.
