MB-Lead Product Designer

• Own end-to-end design for a flagship NGP VAN product, from early problem framing through launch and iteration.
• Shape design direction across the NGP VAN product suite, establishing patterns and raising the quality bar beyond your primary product.
• Partner with product and engineering leadership to influence roadmap decisions, not just execute them.
• Translate ambiguous, complex problems into clear, scalable design solutions that hold up under real user pressure for both legacy product UI and AI innovation.
• Drive research and usability testing to ground decisions in evidence, and champion that standard across the team.
• Set and maintain a high bar for interaction quality, visual craft, and accessibility across everything you ship.
• Contribute to and evolve shared design systems and components that scale across products.
• Mentor designers and model what lead-level thinking looks like in critique, strategy, and execution.

You bring deep craft, clear thinking, and the credibility to influence product direction, not just execute it. Your portfolio shows complex, shipped work. Your process shows rigor. Your instincts show range.

• 8+ years of product design experience with a portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of complex, multi-surface experiences.
• Comfortable with designing for AI functionality and working with an AI pattern library across products.
• Fluency in interaction design and visual craft, with a high bar for quality at every level of fidelity.
• Proven ability to work within and contribute to design systems, creating solutions that scale beyond your immediate product.
• Experience shaping product strategy alongside PMs and engineers, influencing decisions upstream of execution.
• Strong research foundation: you know when to run a usability test, when to use existing data, and how to turn findings into action.
• Clear, confident communication with stakeholders at all levels, including the ability to defend and adapt decisions under scrutiny.
• Deep commitment to inclusive design, accessibility (WCAG), and ethical use of AI.
• Comfortable integrating AI tools like Claude, V0, and FigmaMake into your workflow

• Familiarity with front-end principles (HTML/CSS) that helps you partner more effectively with engineering.
• Experience mentoring designers through critique, feedback, and modeling senior-level thinking.
