[Hiring] Lead UX Designer @Consilio LLC

Role Description

We're looking for a Lead UX Designer to own design for critical areas of our product suite and to serve as a steward of our design system. This is an individual contributor role where you will:

• Set direction and have real influence over what gets built.
• Partner with Product and Engineering early — shaping the problem, not styling a decision that's already been made.
• Prototype fast to explore and align, and work with Engineering to keep design and code in sync.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end design for one or more product areas, from problem framing through delivery and post-launch iteration.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to shape solutions early, not just execute on requirements.
• Translate in-flight product strategy into journeys, information architecture, and interaction patterns.
• Define the interaction models for AI-assisted workflows: how users understand what the system did, why it did it, and how far to trust it.
• Evolve and maintain Consilio's design system — defining components and patterns, and setting the standards for how they're used.
• Build accessibility standards into the system rather than retrofitting it.
• Prototype rapidly to explore, align, and de-risk decisions using modern AI tools.
• Lead or partner on user research, and turn findings into decisions other people can act on.
• Make the case for design decisions and system standards to senior stakeholders through evidence and clear storytelling.

Qualifications

• 8+ years designing complex enterprise or B2B software, with shipped work you can walk us through.
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining a design system in a multi-product environment — not just consuming one.
• Experience designing end-to-end journeys for multi-product ecosystems.
• Experience with Figma Make, or other similar prompt-based prototyping tools.
• Depth in interaction design, with visual craft strong enough to make the work persuasive.
• Demonstrated experience partnering with Product and Engineering from problem definition forward.
• Bachelor’s degree in Design (e.g., Interaction, Visual, Industrial Design), HCI, or equivalent practical experience.

Qualities we're looking for

• Systems thinking: You design for scale and consistency by default, not as a cleanup pass.
• Standards judgment: You know when to generalize a pattern and when a one-off is the right answer.
• Comfort with ambiguity: You can make a defensible tradeoff without perfect information.
• Influence without authority: You change what gets built by being persuasive and well-reasoned.
• Clarity under complexity: You can take a genuinely complicated workflow and make it feel obvious.

Portfolio

• Strong portfolio demonstrating complex workflow design across multiple web-based enterprise products.
• Work samples that showcase prototyping ability.

Nice to have

• Experience with AI driven products or designing AI powered interactions.
• Formal or self-directed learning in AI/ML concepts.
• Prior experience designing for legal, compliance, healthcare, financial services, or another high-consequence regulated domain.

Consilio’s True North Values

• Client Experience: Listen for the “why”. Clearly define success. Be accountable. Go the extra distance to create moments that matter.
• Collaboration: Treat everyone with respect. Welcome diverse views. Partner across geography, generations, and teams. Rally around final decisions.
• Innovation: Always be curious (ABC). Challenge the status quo. Experiment and fail forward. Build for the future.
• Grit: Focus on what matters. Work with passion and persistence. Think like an owner. Deliver results you’re proud of.
