Senior Product Designer (B2B SaaS)

• End-to-end design for complex, ambiguous problems on a product surface. From problem framing through customer research to final shipped UI. You drive your own discovery; you do not wait for briefs.
• Customer research. Run interviews independently, synthesise findings, convert to design direction. You speak to internal customers - not always through PM.
• Design system contributions. Extend primitives, propose new patterns, document conventions. Your contributions outlive your tenure on any single feature.
• Mentoring designers. Code review the design equivalent: review work, give critique, unblock craft questions. Engineers and PMs see you as a craft mentor across the team.
• Driving design critique sessions. Structure feedback rounds, raise the bar across the team.
• Written design rationale. You produce design decision documents, principles, and decision logs as a default - not when forced.
• Cross-functional partnership. Surface design constraints early to PM and engineering. Bring reasoned alternatives. Operate as a peer, not a delegate.
• Pixel-level craft and accessibility on your own work and surface.

Must-haves:

• 4-7 years of professional product design experience
• B2B enterprise SaaS experience: substantive senior-level work on dense, professional UI for business users at scale (permission models, complex tables, audit-grade interaction patterns, multi-tenant data, regulated workflows)
• Track record of independently designing complex, ambiguous problems from research through ship at a previous role
• Demonstrable design system contributions (extended primitives, proposed patterns, documented conventions)
• Articulate written rationale for design decisions; you can show us a document you authored
• You have mentored at least one junior designer in a past role and can name what changed
• Comfortable challenging PMs, engineers, and founders with reasoned design alternatives

• Design that matters in regulated work, where correctness, reliability, and traceability are non-negotiable
• Build a design system is in active extension; your contributions shape it for years
• Reframe ambiguous problems and ship validated UI; you will not be handed briefs to execute
• Senior IC track with a clear path to a a managerial rol in 24-36 months
• Compensation aligned with Senior IC scope and the value of the work
• A team that values designers who think clearly, write well, and update their views with evidence
