Head of Product Design

What You'll Do:

• Establish Eve’s design system, visual language, and interaction standards, creating the components, guidelines, and artifacts that define the company’s design quality bar.
• Lead end-to-end design for Eve’s core product and new 0→1 initiatives, raising the UX quality of existing surfaces while shaping entirely new product experiences.
• Design and ship AI-native product experiences, including agent workflows, human-in-the-loop systems, and trust-centered interfaces for LLM-powered features.
• Own the customer empathy function for the design team, running user interviews, usability tests, and workflow research to ensure products reflect how lawyers actually work.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership to drive product discovery, define UX direction, and accelerate delivery through clear specs and early design decisions.
• Improve the speed and quality of the product development process through effective design reviews, async feedback loops, and design-ready handoffs.
• Recruit, lead, and develop designers, creating an environment where the team produces exceptional work and grows in craft.
• Run design critiques and reviews that elevate quality while building a strong design culture.
• Over time, build and lead Eve’s design organization, evolving and managing the team, processes, and standards as the company scales.
• Act as a design voice in company strategy, helping shape product direction and ensuring the customer perspective is represented in key decisions.

What We're Looking For:

• Exceptional product design craft, demonstrated through a portfolio of shipped products with strong interaction design, information architecture, and visual quality.
• Proven ability to lead design end-to-end, from ambiguous problem space through discovery, prototyping, iteration, and launch.
• Experience building or evolving a design system at a growth-stage company, including component architecture and scalable design foundations.
• Track record of owning complex enterprise workflows and transforming them into intuitive, usable product experiences.
• Experience managing or closely mentoring and developing designers, running effective design critiques, and setting a high craft bar through your own work.
• Strong customer research skills, including conducting interviews, usability testing, and synthesizing insights into actionable product direction.
• Deep experience designing enterprise B2B products, ideally in complex or high-stakes domains (e.g., legal, financial, healthcare).
• Familiarity with AI/LLM product design, including chat interfaces, agent workflows, trust and transparency patterns, and human-in-the-loop systems.
• Ability to collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to translate product strategy into clear UX direction and shipped experiences.
• Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to clearly explain design rationale to executives, customers, and cross-functional teams.
• A player-coach mindset—comfortable contributing high-quality IC design work while building and leading a team as the design function scales.
