About the role

Senior design leadership role focused on shaping AI experiences across Rippling’s product suite, partnering with Product and Engineering to create coherent, trustworthy, and integrated AI-driven interfaces for enterprise software.

Responsibilities

  • Lead Product Design for AI Platform, shaping the interaction models, UX patterns, and design principles that guide AI experiences across Rippling.
  • Manage, coach, and raise the bar for designers working in ambiguous, high-leverage platform problem spaces.
  • Define reusable patterns for agents, generated UI, human-in-the-loop approvals, trust, explainability, citations, error recovery, and user control.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering leaders to translate ambiguous AI platform opportunities into coherent, shippable product experiences.
  • Drive cross-product alignment so AI experiences feel consistent, permission-aware, and useful across HR, IT, Finance, workflow, and admin surfaces.
  • Use customer insight, product data, competitive analysis, and internal team feedback to identify the highest-leverage design opportunities.
  • Create operating rituals for design reviews, pattern adoption, quality control, and cross-functional decision-making.
  • Help attract, evaluate, and close senior design talent for Product Design and AI Platform.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of overall product design experience, including substantial work in complex B2B, enterprise SaaS, platform, workflow, developer tools, productivity, fintech, or AI product environments.
  • 3+ years of product design management experience, including managing, coaching, and developing senior designers while maintaining a high bar for craft and product judgment.
  • Strong systems thinking, with the ability to connect product surfaces, workflows, permissions, states, edge cases, and technical dependencies into coherent user experiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to create reusable interaction patterns or design-system primitives that scale across multiple teams or product areas.
  • Fluency in AI product challenges such as model uncertainty, generated output, user trust, explainability, human-in-the-loop decision-making, feedback loops, and error recovery.
  • Strong cross-functional leadership with Product, Engineering, Research, GTM, CX, and executive stakeholders.
  • Exceptional storytelling and communication skills; able to turn complex, multi-team decisions into crisp narratives that drive alignment and execution.
  • A portfolio or body of work showing shipped product impact, strong craft, and leadership through ambiguity.
