- The ideal candidate has experience designing workflows, evaluating emerging technologies, and helping teams adopt new ways of working across large organizations.
- They should be comfortable partnering across design, engineering, research, accessibility, and product teams to improve how products move from idea to implementation through AI-assisted and platform-enabled workflows.
- Support the evolution of the builder experience across design, engineering, and AI-assisted workflows by identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, quality, and adoption.
- Design and document workflows, guardrails, and best practices that enable teams to create consistent, accessible, and scalable experiences through both human-authored and AI-assisted approaches.
- Partner with engineering teams to support AI enablement initiatives, including prompt-based interfaces, Figma Make workflows, code generation, MCP-enabled tooling, and design-to-development integrations.
- Conduct discovery and research activities to understand builder needs, identify friction points, and uncover opportunities for workflow improvement, automation, and adoption.
- Partner across design, engineering, research, accessibility, operations, and product teams to support adoption of new tools, workflows, and platform capabilities.
- Support the definition and measurement of adoption, workflow efficiency, quality, accessibility, and builder satisfaction metrics.
- Facilitate pilots, workshops, experimentation efforts, and enablement activities that help teams understand and adopt emerging capabilities.
- Prototype and demonstrate future-state workflows, concepts, and experiences that inform the evolution of product creation practices.
- 5+ years of experience in UX, design systems, workflow design, design operations, service design, or related disciplines.
- Experience contributing to workflow transformation, tooling initiatives, design system adoption efforts, or platform programs within large organizations.
- Experience working across large organizations and influencing outcomes among multiple stakeholder groups.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted design and development workflows, including prompt-based interfaces, code generation, Figma Make, MCP-enabled tooling, or related technologies.
- Experience partnering closely with engineering teams to define workflows, tooling requirements, platform capabilities, or design-to-development processes.
- Strong portfolio demonstrating systems thinking, workflow design, service design, platform enablement, organizational influence, or large-scale change initiatives.
- Strong systems-thinking skills with the ability to connect workflows, tools, governance, and user needs into cohesive solutions.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted product creation, intent-driven experiences, prompt-to-UI approaches, MCP-enabled tooling, and emerging builder technologies.
- Experience designing workflows, service blueprints, enablement materials, or operational processes across complex organizations.
- Strong communication, facilitation, and storytelling skills, with the ability to align stakeholders around new ideas and ways of working.
- Ability to translate ambiguity into actionable recommendations, prototypes, experiments, and implementation plans.
- Experience collaborating with engineers to evaluate, improve, and implement tooling and workflow solutions.
- System-Oriented: Understands how people, processes, tools, and platforms work together to create scalable outcomes.
- Collaborative: Builds strong partnerships across design, engineering, research, accessibility, operations, and product teams.
- Forward-Thinking: Stays ahead of emerging technologies, workflows, and industry trends, bringing informed perspectives on AI, automation, and the future of product creation.
