Accountabilities:

• Define and evolve the visual design language across product surfaces, establishing a cohesive, distinctive, accessible, and scalable experience while setting a high bar for typography, color, composition, layout, iconography, illustration, motion, data visualization, and interaction details.

• Own and evolve foundational design system elements, including design tokens, component visual states, responsive behaviors, theming, density, and platform-specific adaptations, ensuring that the system remains flexible enough to support diverse customer workflows.

• Create reusable patterns, principles, standards, and guidance that enable product teams to solve recurring problems consistently while preserving appropriate flexibility for different products, users, and use cases.

• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Research, Content Design, Brand, and Design Systems teams to translate customer needs, business objectives, and technical constraints into effective system-level solutions.

• Design and prototype system components as well as end-to-end product experiences, using high-fidelity exploration to communicate design intent, accelerate alignment, and resolve complex visual and interaction challenges.

• Bring strong visual hierarchy and clarity to complex, data-rich workflows used by security, compliance, IT, legal, finance, and business stakeholders, making sophisticated information easier to understand and act upon.

• Collaborate with engineers throughout the implementation process to ensure designs achieve a high level of visual fidelity while meeting accessibility, performance, scalability, and maintainability requirements.

• Establish design review practices, facilitate critiques and workshops, and represent design systems in product planning and cross-functional forums to improve consistency and strengthen product decisions across teams.

• Advocate for inclusive and accessible visual design, ensuring that color, contrast, typography, motion, interaction states, and other visual elements work effectively for a broad range of users and contexts.

• Help determine how the design system should evolve to support emerging product capabilities, including AI-powered experiences, personalization, automation, and increasingly sophisticated enterprise workflows.

• Use customer research, product data, usability feedback, competitive insights, and other evidence to identify opportunities for improving the design system and measuring its broader impact.

• Influence product strategy and roadmap decisions through compelling design narratives, prototypes, strong points of view, and the ability to connect visual and systems-level decisions to customer and business outcomes.

• Mentor product designers and contribute to a culture of thoughtful critique, continuous learning, experimentation, and customer-focused design excellence.

• Create documentation, examples, and enablement materials that make the design system easy for product teams to understand, adopt, extend, and apply consistently.

• Define and measure design system impact through indicators such as adoption, consistency, accessibility, usability, delivery efficiency, and customer outcomes.

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience designing digital products, including significant experience in visual product design for complex B2B SaaS, enterprise software, or similarly sophisticated digital environments.

• Deep expertise in visual design for digital products, with strong command of typography, color, composition, layout, iconography, illustration, motion, interaction states, data visualization, and visual hierarchy.

• A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual craft, sophisticated systems thinking, and the ability to improve experiences at both the individual component and end-to-end workflow levels.

• Proven experience creating, evolving, and scaling product design systems that are adopted and used by multiple product and engineering teams within a growing organization.

• Strong understanding of design tokens, component architecture, responsive design, accessibility, and the relationship between design tools and front-end implementation.

• Demonstrated ability to transform ambiguous product and customer problems into clear, elegant, reusable visual solutions while balancing consistency, flexibility, usability, and technical feasibility.

• Experience partnering closely with engineers to bring detailed visual designs into production and make pragmatic decisions when implementation constraints or competing priorities arise.

• Strong product thinking, with the ability to understand customer needs, business objectives, technical constraints, and the broader relationships between product surfaces, workflows, and system patterns.

• Excellent communication, storytelling, facilitation, and influencing skills, with the ability to align senior product and engineering stakeholders without relying on formal authority.

• Demonstrated ability to determine when to use an existing design pattern, when to extend it, and when to introduce something new based on user needs, product strategy, and system-level considerations.

• Experience giving and receiving thoughtful feedback, mentoring other designers, facilitating productive critique, and raising the overall visual and product quality bar across a design organization.

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity, making decisions with incomplete information, balancing strategic thinking with execution, and maintaining a strong bias toward action.

• Experience designing products in cybersecurity, compliance, GRC, IT, infrastructure, financial services, or another complex or regulated domain is a plus.

• Proficiency with tools such as Figma and familiarity with front-end technologies or design system implementation workflows are valuable.

• Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Computer Science, or a related field is required.

• Must be authorized to work in the United States without requiring current or future employer sponsorship.

• Demonstrated responsibility for protecting company and customer data through secure and thoughtful design and working practices.
