About the role

You will build and lead the product design function from the ground up, defining the visual and functional experience for an AI-native financial platform. You will partner closely with engineering and product teams to establish design-to-engineering processes and shape the architecture of complex, multi-party workflows.

Requirements

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience designing and shipping AI-native interaction patterns and strong systems thinking capabilities. You must demonstrate an exceptional portfolio with a clear point of view on the evolution of software interfaces and the ability to collaborate technically with engineering teams.

Full description

Join a high-growth financial infrastructure company transforming the private asset market—one of the fastest-growing segments in global finance. Its live, revenue-generating platform manages complex, multi-party workflows across the full lifecycle of private asset transactions for leading financial institutions.

The Mission

Build the infrastructure that powers private asset transactions over their full 5–7-year lifecycle. The platform must support multiple parties, evolving permissions, recurring workflows, and new deal structures—while making AI a first-class participant alongside human users.

The Role

This is a senior design opportunity to build the product design function from the ground up. You’ll define what an AI-native financial platform should look and feel like—deciding which workflows require exceptional interfaces and which are becoming infrastructure that AI agents and other products can access directly. You’ll shape a cohesive experience across deterministic, human-led workflows and emerging AI-native interactions, ensuring they feel like one product rather than two systems bolted together.

You will:

  • Build and lead the product design function, including its team structure, processes, and craft standards.
  • Establish a design-to-engineering approach for a system-first product model, where the underlying platform is designed before the interface.
  • Define how deterministic and AI-native interactions coexist across the product.
  • Make platform-level decisions about design systems, reusable patterns, permissions, and where structural variation should live.
  • Partner closely and technically with Engineering on architecture, systems, and implementation.
  • Collaborate with Product on commercial translation, prioritization, and sequencing.
  • Represent design in leadership discussions and roadmap decisions.
  • Help evolve how Design, Product, and Engineering work together.

What They’re Looking For

  • Hands-on experience designing and shipping AI-native interaction patterns—not just a perspective on them.
  • Strong systems thinking and experience making platform- and design-system-level decisions.
  • A track record of working closely with Engineering on technical architecture and design-to-engineering processes.
  • An exceptional portfolio demonstrating visual craft, typography, interaction design, and strong product judgment.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and storytelling skills.
  • A clear point of view on how AI is changing the nature of software products and interfaces.
