About the Role
FutureFit AI seeks a Lead Product Designer to own the visual language and design system for their AI-powered workforce platform. The role involves designing complex features across job seeker, staff, employer, and admin surfaces.
Key Skills for This Role
Responsibilities
- Own the platform's visual language and design system — components, patterns, tokens, layout, typography, and motion
- Treat accessibility as a first class design constraint, not a remediation afterthought
- Build a shared foundation every surface can draw from, while letting surfaces diverge deliberately where their users and jobs differ
- Lead end to end design of new product areas, major launches, and complex reworks
- Design AI mediated experiences, multi step workflows, data dense admin surfaces, and government process flows
- Cover the full fidelity arc: framing, concept exploration, IA, interaction design, prototyping, high fidelity UI, and design spec handoff
- Run research directly with users and customers and turn what you learn into design decisions
- Own the design quality gate in our product development lifecycle, and mentor and raise the design fluency of PMs, engineers, and any future designers
Requirements
- Deep product design craft across complex, multi persona B2B/B2G or enterprise SaaS
- Demonstrated ownership of a design system at meaningful scale
- Fluency in accessible design and a track record of meeting WCAG 2.2 AA / Section 508 in production
- Range from systems level thinking down to pixel level polish, with strong IA and interaction design fundamentals
- Experience designing for AI mediated or recommendation driven experiences
- Ability to run your own user research and synthesize it into design decisions
- Comfort prioritizing where design depth matters across a wide surface
