- Worked in cybersecurity, or designed for security operations, insider risk, or data protection teams.
- You have set an experience vision for a complex product and then delivered against it not just a concept deck, but patterns and surfaces that shipped and held up.
- Experienced with complex, expert-user enterprise software tools where the user is a professional doing demanding work, not a consumer. Security, IT operations, observability, data infrastructure, or similar domains.
- You have designed AI-powered or agentic product experiences and have a real point of view on trust, transparency, control, and what happens when the model is wrong.
- Strong systems thinker: you can hold a platform-level information architecture in your head, and you build design systems that make teams faster instead of slowing them down.
- You value and use research. You know how to run the function, ask the right questions of it, and act on what comes back.
- An exceptional communicator and influencer. You can tell a room of executives something they do not want to hear, ground it in the customer’s reality, and leave with a decision.
- A people leader first. You develop designers, give direct feedback, and build a team that does its best work.
- You operate with urgency and judgment in a fast-moving environment, and you are comfortable making progress before every input is in hand.
- Located in the US (SF Bay Area preferred).
- Led design through a major platform migration or the consolidation of several products into one.
- Experience building a design function hiring, leveling, process, and the operating rhythm not just running one that already existed.
