Responsibilities
Define information architecture, conceptual models, taxonomy, and domain logic for configuration-heavy or multi-role systems
Establish system clarity by mapping objects, relationships, behaviors, constraints, and states
Create scalable, coherent structures that other designers and engineers can confidently build upon
Lead the scoping of design work, breaking large ambiguous problem spaces into actionable, sequenced design efforts
Prioritize design focus areas to maximize velocity and unblock engineering
Communicate design progress, risks, and decisions to PM and engineering partners, reducing ambiguity across teams
Push back when proposed technical approaches degrade experience quality or violate established models
Facilitate design–engineering tradeoff discussions grounded in system logic and user impact
Ensure engineering understands interaction rules, behaviors, states, edge cases, and object relationships before implementation
Provide structure, guidance, and critique to the Workflow/Interaction Designer working within your system models
Help convert system logic into flows, prototypes, and task-level interactions
Ensure alignment between IA decisions and downstream interaction patterns
Produce high-quality IA maps, conceptual diagrams, domain models, and architectural documentation
Create task flows, wireframes, and mid-fidelity prototypes when needed to illustrate behaviors, transitions, and interactions
Use usability principles to simplify complex conceptual spaces and improve the operator experience
Facilitate collaborative working sessions with engineering, PM, data, and operations partners
Establish shared mental models and structural clarity across functions
Drive decisions in ambiguous areas through clear reasoning, diagrams, and conceptual framing
Mentor other designers in IA, systems thinking, workflow modeling, and structured problem-solving
Contribute to the evolution of design practices, tools, and rituals across the design org
Support the development of reusable patterns and frameworks that contribute to a cohesive design system
Qualification
Required
6–8+ years of experience in product design, including work on enterprise, internal tools, or configuration-heavy systems
Demonstrated mastery of IA, systems thinking, domain modeling, and conceptual mapping
Strong interaction design skills with experience in task flows, wireframes, and mid-fidelity prototypes
Experience scoping complex design work and leading design progress independently
Proven ability to partner directly with engineering leadership on feasibility, system behavior, and implementation clarity
Experience guiding or mentoring other designers
Portfolio that includes system architecture + IA artifacts, not just UI screens
You combine big-picture structural thinking with hands-on design execution
You derive energy from breaking down complexity into clarity
You are comfortable working in ambiguous domains and turning incomplete requirements into coherent models
You elevate the design team's sophistication through thoughtful critique, mentorship, and documentation
You design both the structure of the system and the experience of using it—with an eye for craft, consistency, and usability
Strong experience designing information architectures, domain models, taxonomies, and multi-entity systems
Ability to quickly analyze complex operational or configuration workflows and impose structure
Deep understanding of how system logic affects usability, workflows, and UI
Strong interaction design skills: task flows, wireframes, scenario mapping, prototyping
Solid UI design ability: crisp, clear, enterprise-grade surfaces that support complex tasks
Experience designing tools or systems that require precision, clarity, and operational reliability
You can zoom out to define the underlying model, then zoom in to make it real through screens and interactions
Comfortable iterating quickly while maintaining a strong conceptual foundation
Adept at balancing immediate delivery needs with long-term coherence
Skilled at facilitating discussions across engineering, product, and operations to align on structure and logic
Excellent communication of complex systems through diagrams, narratives, and prototypes
Ability to advocate for clarity and simplicity even within technical constraints
Preferred
Experience in large-scale operational systems, admin tools, B2B platforms, or internal product ecosystems
Familiarity with design system contribution (defining components, patterns, logic, or usage guidelines)
Strong understanding of how backend systems, APIs, schemas, and configuration frameworks influence UX
Experience working within or improving a maturing design organization
Comfort designing for multi-market, multi-tenant, or highly variable configuration environments
Ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders through clear communication and structured thinking
