Responsibilities

• Partner with PMs, engineers, and AI/ML teammates to shape product strategy, uncover insights, and push the edges of what’s possible with intelligent workflows.
• Lead design initiatives end-to-end: research, concepting, prototyping, pixel-perfect UI, and partnering with engineering through delivery.
• Conduct user research to uncover unmet needs, pain points, and workflow gaps, and then transform those findings into product opportunities.
• Evolve our Design System into a scalable, flexible foundation that supports rapid experimentation and system-level consistency.
• Drive and influence roadmap decisions by representing the user, their cognitive load, and the experience impact of each approach.
• Bring clarity to ambiguity — framing decisions, facilitating cross-functional alignment, and guiding teams toward simple, elegant solutions.
• Experiment with emerging technologies, design patterns, and AI capabilities to keep Spekit on the leading edge of modern product design.
• Collaborate with a highly skilled, genuinely collaborative product team that values growth, curiosity, and great design thinking.

Requirements

• 15+ years designing SaaS products with complex UX (not marketing or brand work).
• Experience conducting user research and translating insights into strategy and product direction.
• Demonstrated ability to lead design initiatives across the entire lifecycle: research, vision, iteration, and execution.
• Strong systems-thinking capabilities — experience building, scaling, and maintaining Design Systems.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, iterative environment across cross-functional teams.
• High proficiency with accessibility standards, usability principles, and designing for inclusion (WCAG).
• A portfolio that shows not just beautiful designs, but clarity of thought, strong narrative, and the ability to break down complex workflows.
• Expert-level mastery of Figma and familiarity with user research tools like Maze, UserTesting or similar platforms.
• A genuine curiosity about AI, emerging patterns, and designing for systems that adapt, learn, and evolve.
