Principal Product Designer, Presence

Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Principal Product Designer, Presence based in the United States. This is a systems-level design opportunity focused on shaping how people, creators, businesses, and communities establish their presence across a complex digital ecosystem. You’ll define the experience architecture connecting identity, profiles, business presence, community context, discovery, navigation, and participation. Rather than owning a single feature, you’ll establish durable models and interaction patterns that multiple product teams can build upon. You’ll influence long-term product strategy while translating ambitious future-state concepts into practical, near-term execution. The role offers significant visibility, partnering with senior leaders across Product, Engineering, Research, Data Science, Content Design, and Design. You’ll use research, experimentation, AI-assisted design tools, and rapid prototyping to resolve complex ecosystem challenges and accelerate decision-making. This is an opportunity for a highly experienced designer to make a large-scale product ecosystem feel simpler, more coherent, accessible, and trustworthy. Accountabilities: Define the UX architecture and experience strategy for Presence across profiles, identity, business tools, community context, discovery, navigation, and emerging product surfaces. Translate broad organizational priorities into multi-year experience strategies, decision frameworks, and clear paths from the current product experience toward future-state visions. Establish shared experience models, interaction patterns, navigation approaches, and design principles that enable multiple teams to build cohesive experiences. Identify and resolve overlaps, gaps, inconsistencies, and competing approaches across product teams before they create fragmented user experiences or duplicated investments. Influence product strategy, priorities, and planning by partnering with senior Product, Engineering, Research, Data Science, Content Design, and Design leaders. Lead UX framing for complex, high-stakes ecosystem decisions, presenting recommendations, alternatives, risks, trade-offs, and success indicators to senior and executive stakeholders. Use AI-assisted design and coding tools to rapidly prototype future-state experiences, test system behavior, uncover edge cases, and support strategic decision-making. Establish a high bar for interaction design, information architecture, accessibility, trust, and overall system coherence across the product ecosystem. Mentor senior designers and contribute to the development of design practices, frameworks, and organizational capabilities. Requirements: 10–12+ years of product design experience, including leadership of platform-scale or ecosystem-level initiatives spanning multiple product areas, preferably within consumer technology. A portfolio demonstrating Principal-level scope, including original product vision, systems architecture, sophisticated interaction design, executive influence, cross-product coherence, and measurable impact beyond an individual team or launch. Proven experience defining foundational product architecture, shared interaction models, design systems, or platform strategies adopted across multiple teams. Demonstrated ability to influence product priorities and executive decisions without relying on direct authority. Strong track record of translating long-term product vision into executable near-term launches, experiments, milestones, and organizational commitments. Expert-level interaction design and information architecture capabilities, with strong judgment around when to reuse existing patterns, evolve them, or introduce new ones. Fluency with AI-assisted design and coding workflows, particularly using prototypes and emerging tools to validate system behavior, explore possibilities, and inform strategic decisions. Strong understanding of user research, data, experimentation, accessibility, and technical constraints. Exceptional communication, storytelling, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to align diverse teams around complex design decisions. Strategic, systems-oriented mindset with the ability to simplify highly complex ecosystems while maintaining a strong focus on user needs, trust, and business outcomes. Benefits: Competitive base salary: $223,600–$313,000 USD, with final compensation determined by factors including skills, depth of experience, and relevant credentials. Equity: Eligibility for equity compensation in the form of restricted stock units. Healthcare: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. Retirement: 401(k) program with employer matching. Income protection: Income replacement and related benefit programs. Paid time off: Flexible vacation and paid volunteer time off. Parental support: Generous paid parental leave and family planning benefits. Family benefits: Programs supporting caregiving and major family milestones. Gender-affirming care: Benefits designed to support gender-affirming healthcare needs. Mental health: Mental health and coaching resources. Professional development: Global benefits supporting professional growth and development. Remote flexibility: Fully remote-friendly opportunity for candidates based in the United States. Office access: Employees near San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, or Chicago may use local offices as often as they choose. Community and connection: Opportunities for collaboration and connection across distributed teams and locations. Accessibility and inclusion: Commitment to reasonable accommodations and an inclusive, equitable workplace.
