Staff Product Designer

StackAdapt is a technology company that empowers marketers to reach, engage, and convert audiences through its AI-powered marketing platform. The Staff Product Designer will lead the design strategy for the Ivy AI experience, drive complex cross-functional initiatives, translate technical systems into intuitive experiences, and elevate design standards across the product.

Responsibilities:

• Drive the design strategy for Ivy's AI experience end to end, from generative UI to how AI shapes the future of the StackAdapt platform
• Set the bar for how Ivy earns trust, showing its reasoning, signaling confidence, and recovering when it's wrong
• Lead design for complex, multi-team initiatives, ensuring clarity from problem framing through launch
• Collaborate deeply with Product, Engineering, Research, Revenue, Client Services, and Leadership to align design direction with business outcomes and customer value
• Translate data-rich, technical systems into intuitive and scalable experiences that enable confident, efficient decision-making
• Define what a good AI response looks like, and partner with Engineering on the evals that test for it
• Build frameworks, patterns, and processes that improve product quality and consistency across teams and surfaces
• Drive design vision and strategy that balances usability, automation, and performance, including latency, streaming, and cost per interaction
• Mentor and guide designers, sharing context, feedback, and systems thinking to strengthen collective impact
• Contribute to StackAdapt’s evolving design practices, ensuring our products, processes, and experiences scale with quality and intent

Requirements:

• Depth of experience designing complex products, ideally within data-driven, enterprise, or workflow-rich environments
• Experience designing AI-powered products, and fluency with what makes them different: failures that are hard to predict, and interfaces that get generated rather than drawn
• Fluent use of AI tools in your own practice, including coded prototypes that call real models, with tools like Cursor or Claude Code
• A point of view on where AI design is heading, and a track record of acting on it rather than watching it
• Strong mastery of interaction design, prototyping, and information architecture, with the ability to visualize and communicate abstract concepts clearly
• Proven ability to connect design decisions to measurable business and user outcomes
• Experience collaborating cross-functionally across technical, commercial, and operational teams to align around shared goals
• A balance of craft excellence and strategic thinking—able to simplify the complex and focus teams on what matters most
• Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences
