Role Type: Individual Contributor + Team Lead
Duration: [6 months / Ongoing]
Role SummaryLob is entering a pivotal new chapter, and we are seeking a visionary Lead Product Designer to scale our product. In this role, you will do more than design features; you will design the systems and UX philosophies that elevate our design org. This is a unique opportunity to take a successful, established company and reimagine its design language for the AI era. You will have the autonomy to challenge old assumptions, and the startup environment to design high-impact features yourself.
Key Responsibilities- Leveraging best in class design practices and a deep understanding of JTBD, deliver recommendations that reduce friction across key customer workflows.
- Be the customer advocate. Drive roadmap prioritization conversations that stem from both qualitative and quantitative insights into how customers interact with our product.
- Refine Design Team processes with AI at the core - from initial discovery and wireframing to developer handoff - to improve output quality and lead time.
- Partner closely with Engineering to account for different use cases and edge cases. Raise healthy tension between UX, product scope, and technical feasibility.
- Provide high-quality, actionable feedback to junior and mid-level designers through structured critique sessions to support design quality and consistency.
- Explore AI-first interfaces, including non-linear workflows and proactive system interactions.
- Conduct design reviews and QA audits to ensure shipped features meet usability and aesthetic standards.
- Ensure design system components are accessible, tokenized, and modular.
- Experience: 7+ years of product design experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership capacity.
- Systems Expert: A proven track record of building and scaling design systems
- Portfolio: A portfolio demonstrating sophisticated UI/UX work, but more importantly, the documentation and logic behind the systems you've built.
- Mentorship History: Experience directly coaching other designers and helping them level up their visual and strategic skills.
