Responsibilities

• Design Judgment & Problem Solving
  • Investigate design challenges with depth — explore multiple approaches, evaluate tradeoffs, and arrive at a clear, well-reasoned point of view
  • Articulate design decisions with conviction: why a path was chosen, what alternatives were considered, and what was intentionally left out
  • Demonstrate a high bar for what good looks like — backed by evidence from your portfolio and process
• Simplifying Complex Experiences
  • Translate technically complex product concepts into experiences that feel intuitive and effortless
  • Design for both admin and end-user personas — audiences with fundamentally different mental models, workflows, and risk tolerances
  • Reduce cognitive load without reducing capability; make hard things feel easy
• Cross-Platform Design Consistency
  • Own and evolve a design system and component library that scales across Windows, Mac, web, and mobile
  • Apply deep knowledge of platform-specific design standards while maintaining a unified PreVeil identity
  • Ensure every surface feels like one product — not four separate apps
• End-to-End Execution
  • Drive the full design lifecycle: discovery, user research, wireframing, prototyping, high-fidelity design, and developer-ready handoff
  • Produce clear, complete specs that engineering can act on without ambiguity or back-and-forth
  • Actively use AI tools to accelerate iteration, sharpen craft, and explore ideas faster
• User Research & Deep User Understanding
  • Conduct and synthesize user research to build a genuine picture of how users think, work, and struggle
  • Bring evidence of user needs into every design decision — not just instinct
  • Identify behavioral patterns across users and translate them into better product decisions
• Collaboration & Reliability
  • Partner closely with Product and Engineering — communicate clearly, show work early, and iterate based on real feedback
  • Be the designer people can count on: have great quality designs that are well thought through, meet commitments, and surface issues proactively
  • Work with a low ego and a maker-first mindset — this is a hands-on, high-output role

Requirements

• 7+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating strong design judgment and enterprise UX depth
• Experience designing enterprise software — ideally on collaboration or productivity software
• Demonstrated ability to simplify complex systems into clear, usable experiences
• Deep knowledge of cross-platform design standards: Windows, Mac, web, and mobile
• Experience owning and scaling design systems and component libraries
• Experience designing for different personas (admins and end-users)
• Fluency in Figma; active use of AI tools to accelerate and sharpen design work
• Comfort operating independently, with ambiguity and in fast-paced environments, with a strong bias for action
• Clear, compelling communicator — you can walk any audience through a design decision and make them believe in it
• Collaborative, reliable, and low-ego — you take direction well and make the team around you better

Nice to have

• Front-end literacy (HTML, CSS, React) for stronger engineering partnership
• Experience in fast-paced startup or growth-stage environments
• Strong initiative and bias for action
• Background designing for technically sophisticated or security-conscious user bases

Working Style & Culture Fit

This role is for someone who leads with craft, thrives with autonomy, and earns trust through consistency and great work product. You'll be joining a team that moves fast — so speed matters — but you'll also be expected to do the rigorous thinking that makes fast decisions hold up over time.

• A strong point of view rooted in clear logic, paired with genuine openness to feedback and guidance
• Work that is thorough and well-considered, not just visually polished
• Strong ownership as well as being a strong team player
• Deep understanding of our product and customers
