Director, Product Design (AI Experience)

Role overview Shape the design vision for an AI-centered product that helps professionals move from research questions to analysis and finished work. The experience spans complex, data-rich workflows where users need control, clear evidence, and confidence in AI-generated results. This is a player-coach leadership role: guide a small team of senior designers while contributing directly to product design and prototyping. The position may be scoped at Director or Senior Director level; candidates based in New York City, nearby time zones, or able to travel are preferred.

Responsibilities - Define the user experience direction for AI and agent-based workflows, with a practical path from current product capabilities to a coherent future experience. - Partner with product and engineering leaders to resolve design tradeoffs across business priorities, timelines, and technical constraints. - Design for dense information, adaptable interfaces, and trustworthy AI interactions, including citations, confidence, user control, and reversibility. - Prototype with code and real data, and contribute hands-on to high-impact product surfaces. - Establish how AI capabilities appear consistently across the product and contribute to evolving the design system. - Coach and develop senior designers, give actionable craft feedback, and hire thoughtfully as the team grows.

Requirements - Demonstrated ability to set product design direction for complex AI or agentic experiences. - Strong interaction and product design judgment for data-dense workflows and professional users. - Ability to prototype in code and work directly with real data. - Experience leading and coaching senior designers while remaining hands-on in the craft. - Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams, including comfort with ambiguity. - Curiosity about financial services, fintech, or other high-stakes professional domains, and the ability to learn the context with care.
