• 8+ years of professional product design experience architecting and shipping complex, data-heavy B2B SaaS platforms, developer tools, infrastructure products, or enterprise communication platforms.
• Expert-Level Systems Thinking: A world-class portfolio demonstrating deep structural design, cross-product workflow mapping, highly complex data architectures, and an ability to unify fragmented platform experiences.
• Executive Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven track record of influencing product strategy at the Director and VP level, balancing highly technical backend trade-offs, and directly shaping multi-year product roadmaps.
• Mastery of Technical Complexity: Experience taking abstract, technical infrastructure primitives and translating them into seamless, developer-friendly mental models.
• Team Multiplier: Experience mentoring other designers, building design frameworks, and driving structural change within a scaling UX organization.
• AI-Powered UX Mindset: Curious about AI-powered tools and workflows, and using emerging technologies thoughtfully to improve speed, quality, and impact.
