Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. FutureFit AI is focused on helping people secure better jobs more efficiently, particularly those facing barriers to opportunity. They are seeking a Lead Product Designer to oversee the design coherence and visual standards of their platform, ensuring a unified experience for diverse users including job seekers and employers.
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 (e.g., AI Coach, talent onboarding and registration redesigns, staff-assist tooling)
- Design AI-mediated experiences, multi-step workflows, data-dense admin surfaces, and government-process flows like RESEA
- Framing, concept exploration, information architecture, interaction design, prototyping, high-fidelity UI, and design-spec handoff with edge, empty, loading, and error states fully specified
- Run research directly with users and customers — job seekers (including those using assistive tech), career navigators, and agency staff — 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
Skills
- Deep product design craft across complex, multi-persona B2B/B2G or enterprise SaaS — not just consumer or marketing surfaces
- 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 (or equivalent) in production, including designing conversational and data-dense interfaces accessibly
- 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 — surfacing model output, handling uncertainty, building user trust
- Ability to run your own user research and synthesize it into design decisions
- Comfort prioritizing where design depth matters across a wide surface
- Experience in digital government, public benefit technology, or civic tech
- Familiarity with workforce development or other regulated, compliance-heavy domains
- Experience designing for multi-tenant platforms where one system serves many configurable customers
- Comfort operating as the senior-most design voice in the room with executives and customers
