Senior Product Designer
Allvue Systems, LLC, New York, NY, United States
Job Summary
The Senior Product Designer is an advanced individual contributor responsible for leading end‑to‑end user experience design for complex enterprise SaaS product capabilities. This role owns UX design initiatives from discovery through delivery, translating user insights, product strategy, and technical constraints into scalable design solutions that improve usability, adoption, and customer outcomes.
Operating with a high degree of autonomy, the Senior Product Designer partners closely with Product Management, Engineering, and customer stakeholders to define user workflows, design interaction models, and deliver production‑ready design assets. The role contributes to the evolution of the company’s design system and establishes consistent experience standards across product modules.
This position operates within a cross‑functional product development environment and plays a key role in ensuring that product capabilities deliver intuitive, efficient, and scalable user experiences for enterprise financial technology clients.
You are the right person if:
You don't wait for a PRD to start thinking. You reach for Claude before you open Figma, and you know why. You've worked in a design system and felt the frustration of watching it ignored — and you want to be the person who changes that. You're energized by fast‑moving teams, not overwhelmed by them, because you've built your own process for staying grounded in the system while moving at the speed of the product. You understand that our customers — portfolio managers, fund accountants, credit analysts — are in the middle of their own transformation, and you take seriously the responsibility of designing for that moment. If "AI‑first" sounds like a buzzword to you, this isn't the role. If it sounds like the only way to work, let’s talk.
Responsibilities Product Experience Design & Delivery
Operate AI‑first, by default:
Use LLMs to clarify intent, pressure‑test assumptions, and draft interaction frameworks before a single frame is drawn. AI isn't a shortcut — it's how we think faster and align earlier with PM and Engineering.
Design the transformation, not just the feature:
Our customers are undergoing the same shift we are. The work isn't just UI — it's helping private markets teams understand what's possible when AI is embedded in their workflow. You design for that leap.
Prototype at the speed of the question:
Use Cursor, Claude Code, and component‑first thinking to build working interfaces, not mockups. Guide structure, behavior, and UX quality while AI handles the scaffolding. Partner with Engineering to decide what graduates into the product.
Anchor everything to the system:
Speed without a system creates debt. Every prototype, pattern, and decision feeds back into our design system. You don't just use it; you evolve it. Fragmented solutions stop here.
User Research & Problem Discovery
Lead qualitative and quantitative user research initiatives, including customer interviews, usability testing, and workflow analysis, to identify user needs, pain points, and opportunity areas.
Translate research insights into actionable design improvements that enhance usability, workflow efficiency, and product adoption.
Facilitate service design and user discovery workshops with internal stakeholders and customers to map end‑to‑end workflows and inform product design decisions.
Design Systems & Experience Consistency
Contribute to the evolution and governance of the company’s design system, ensuring consistent interaction patterns, accessibility standards, and visual language across product modules.
Apply design system components and UX standards to maintain cohesive user experiences across the platform while supporting scalable product development.
Collaborate with product and engineering teams to identify opportunities to standardize interaction patterns and improve platform usability.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration & Influence
Partner with Product Managers, Engineers, and cross‑functional stakeholders to align user experience solutions with product roadmap priorities and technical architecture.
Communicate design rationale, research insights, and design decisions clearly to stakeholders, including product leadership and executive audiences.
Influence product decisions by advocating for user‑centered design principles and data‑informed UX improvements.
Continuous Improvement & Innovation
Monitor industry trends, emerging design practices, and AI‑enabled design tools to continuously improve product usability and design processes.
Identify opportunities to improve UX workflows, design efficiency, and collaboration practices across product development teams.
Requirements
7–10 years of professional experience in product design, UX design, or interaction design within enterprise B2B SaaS environments.
Demonstrated ability to lead UX design initiatives for complex enterprise software products.
Strong problem‑solving capability in translating ambiguous user needs and product requirements into intuitive and scalable design solutions.
Ability to operate independently within cross‑functional product teams while influencing decisions through design expertise and user insights.
Strong communication and storytelling skills to present design concepts, research findings, and recommendations to diverse stakeholders.
Technical & Systems Proficiency
Hands‑on experience with AI‑assisted prototyping tools — Cursor, Claude, or Claude Code — building working interfaces alongside engineers, not just annotating designs.
Proficiency in Figma.
Deep fluency in design systems: you contribute to them, govern them, and push back when work threatens to fragment them.
Strong command of interaction design, accessibility standards, and component‑level thinking across complex, data‑dense enterprise products.
Comfortable in agile environments where speed is a given — you bring structure without slowing the team down.
Experience designing for AI‑enabled products or workflows, ideally where the end user is also navigating what AI‑augmented work means for their role.
Education/Certifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in UX Design, Human‑Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, Graphic Design, Psychology, or related field.
What We Offer
Health coverage options along with other voluntary benefits.
Enterprise Udemy membership with access to thousands of personal and professional development courses.
401 K with company match up to 4 % or Employee Pension plan.
Competitive pay and year‑end bonus potential.
Flexible PTO.
Charitable donation matching, along with volunteer and voting PTO.
Numerous team‑building activities to promote collaboration in a fun and fast‑paced work environment.
The target compensation for this role is specific to the US. Your estimated compensation will be based upon a variety of factors, including but not limited to your skills, experience, education, licenses and/or certifications and the local market. The estimated range for the role is $150,000 - $175,000.
