Global UX/UI Design Lead

How you fill your 52 weeks is your business. Helping you find your next opportunity is ours.

We are searching for a Full-Time Global UX/UI Design Lead for our enterprise software client. This is a rare opportunity to help reimagine how people interact with a mature global software platform as AI fundamentally changes what digital experiences can be.

This isn’t a traditional design management role. You’ll lead an established UX team, but you’ll also stay deeply hands-on, exploring how interfaces can move beyond predetermined workflows toward experiences that are more dynamic, conversational, and responsive to what users need in the moment.

Interested in what comes after point-and-click? Take a peek at the key details below and apply today.

As Global UX/UI Design Lead, you will:

• Help define the next generation of UX for a global platform used across industries, markets, and complex business environments.
• Explore new interaction models for an AI-first world, moving beyond static interfaces and predetermined workflows toward more adaptive and conversational experiences.
• Stay hands-on in the craft, using Figma and prototyping to explore concepts, build critical user journeys, and establish the quality bar through your own work.
• Start with the user and the “why,” using first-principles thinking to break complex problems down and create intuitive experiences.
• Shape product strategy, interaction design, visual systems, and platform-wide UX standards.
• Lead and elevate a small, experienced UX team while giving strong individual contributors room to own their work.
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and senior leadership to debate ideas, influence direction, and turn ambitious concepts into real products.
• Evolve a scalable design system that can support a global platform and its next generation of experiences.

Who we’re searching for / About you:

• 10+ years of product design experience with exceptional depth in interaction and UX design.
• A portfolio that shows your thinking, including the problem you inherited, why you made the decisions you did, and how the experience evolved.
• Deep curiosity about users and the ability to translate that understanding into elegant product experiences.
• Strong hands-on expertise with Figma, prototyping, interaction design, and visual design.
• Experience designing sophisticated digital products. Your background may come from enterprise software, B2B SaaS, or complex consumer products.
• Experience tackling complicated workflows, systems, or user problems and making them feel dramatically simpler.
• The ability to operate at both the strategic and executional level. You can articulate a long-term vision and then open Figma and start bringing it to life.
• Strong collaboration and influence skills, particularly when working with senior Product, Engineering, and executive stakeholders.
• Experience leading or mentoring other designers without needing to be a traditional people manager.
• Bachelor’s degree required.

We know that experience is gathered in many ways. If you have a demonstrated ability to fulfill the job duties but got there in a different way, please apply.
