About this role

About us

[REDACTED] is the essential infrastructure for M&A. Also comprising [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED], we help dealbreakers find opportunities, manage transactions, and make key decisions.

Whatever your talents, you can find a place for them here. Get involved in some of the biggest business ventures today. Work with other gifted people around the world. Follow your ambitions, or discover a whole new path.

Can you help us simplify the complex, create great experiences, and deliver better outcomes? Then let's talk.

Job Description:

We're looking for a Lead Product Designer to join [REDACTED] and help shape the next generation of products for dealmakers.

[REDACTED] has built a differentiated platform around proprietary data that our customers can't find anywhere else. Our design challenge is to make that data accessible, relevant, and digestible—helping users quickly find what matters, understand it, and act on it.

We're also bringing AI-powered workflows and agents into every aspect of the [REDACTED] experience, creating new opportunities to rethink how our users discover companies, conduct research, analyze information, and get work done.

Design has always been a core part of what differentiates [REDACTED]. Our customers value the product for being intuitive and thoughtfully designed in an industry where powerful software has historically meant complex software. As we build the next generation of [REDACTED], we want to continue raising that bar.

You'll be the most senior individual contributor on our Product Design team, partnering closely with the Head of Design, Product, Engineering, and our customers to turn complex problems into simple, powerful experiences.

This is a hands-on role for a designer who is equally comfortable thinking strategically, conducting research, exploring new concepts, and sweating the details of a polished UI.

What you'll do

  • Own complex product initiatives from early discovery through launch and iteration.
  • Help define how AI workflows and agents become a natural, useful part of the [REDACTED] experience—not simply features layered onto existing workflows.
  • Design experiences that transform large amounts of proprietary and complex data into information users can easily discover, understand, and act on.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to define problems, explore opportunities, and shape product direction—not simply execute requirements.
  • Lead user research, customer interviews, usability testing, and other discovery activities to understand customer needs and validate solutions.
  • Translate complex workflows and information into clear, intuitive product experiences.
  • Create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and polished production-ready UI in Figma.
  • Use AI and code-based prototyping tools to rapidly explore ideas, test interactions, and communicate product concepts.
  • Partner closely with engineers throughout implementation to ensure a high level of quality and polish.
  • Contribute to and help evolve our design system, interaction patterns, and overall product experience.
  • Provide thoughtful critique and mentorship to other designers and help raise the quality bar across the design team.
  • Help maintain and evolve the usability and visual quality that have made design an important part of [REDACTED]'s product and brand.
  • Advocate for our customers and strong design practices across the broader product organization.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience designing digital products, primarily within in-house product organizations.
  • A portfolio demonstrating excellent UX thinking, interaction design, and visual/UI craft across shipped products.
  • Experience independently leading complex projects from discovery through delivery.
  • Strong experience planning and conducting user research and usability testing and translating findings into product decisions.
  • Excellent Figma skills, including prototyping and working with design systems.
  • Experience using modern AI prototyping tools to explore and communicate product ideas.
  • Strong product thinking and an ability to balance customer, business, and technical considerations—not just the interface.
  • An ability to simplify complex information and workflows without sacrificing their underlying power.
  • Experience working closely with Product Managers and Engineers in an iterative product development environment.
  • Strong communication and storytelling skills, including the ability to explain the reasoning behind design decisions.
  • A collaborative mindset and comfort giving and receiving direct, thoughtful feedback.

Nice to have

  • Experience designing complex B2B SaaS, financial technology, data-heavy products, or professional tools.
  • Experience designing AI-powered products, agents, or workflows.
  • Experience with code-based prototyping tools such as Figma Make, Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable, v0, or similar.
  • Experience designing products that help users navigate, understand, or make decisions from large or complex datasets.
  • Experience contributing to or evolving a mature design system.
  • Experience mentoring other product designers.

About the team

You'll collaborate with a small, talented team of product designers, partnering closely with the Head of Design, Product, Engineering, and our customers to turn complex problems into simple, powerful experiences.

[REDACTED] is part of [REDACTED], a global technology company serving the M&A and dealmaking community.
