This role reports directly to the CPO and carries real influence over product direction.
Own design strategy. Set the multi-quarter design vision across the platform and AI-powered product lines, and make the case for design investment at the executive table.
Rebuild the operating model. Move the team from a centralized ticket queue to decentralized pods embedded in product-line tracks, mirroring how Product and Engineering are organized, for continuity and closeness to the customer.
Make your team AI builders, not AI users. Designers work directly against the codebase (GitHub access, same as engineers) to produce interactive, implementation-accurate prototypes grounded in the real system, not static comps or invented flows.
Set the tone for cross-functional speed. When designers and PMs both move fast with AI on the same problem, best and fastest wins, in service of the customer.
Govern the design system as infrastructure , measurably accelerating design and engineering velocity across every surface.
Drive B2B design excellence for complex, data-dense, multi-persona enterprise workflows, with WCAG 2.2 accessibility as default.
Embed research and data , using usability testing and behavioral analytics (FullStory, Pendo, or similar) to inform roadmap-level calls.
Hire and build the team , recruiting designers who want to be on the cutting edge and will push the bar further.
Set the culture: direct, kind, elevating feedback, and strong, opinionated points of view.
SecurityScorecard is a private cybersecurity ratings and third-party risk platform serving organizations managing supply-chain risk.
