Job Description

So, what will your new role look like?

As a Senior Product Designer on ShareGate Protect, you’ll help shape the future of digital governance and play a key role in one of the company’s most important growth areas.

You’ll work as a leader and hands-on designer in a tight product trio, owning problem spaces end-to-end. You’ll shape the vision, influence the roadmap through prototypes and real customer insights, and ship high-quality work quickly while maintaining a long-term view on how governance and AI will evolve together.

Responsibilities:

• Own high-complexity problem spaces end-to-end, from early concept and prototyping through build, launch, and iteration in production;
• Shape product vision and influence roadmap direction through strong UX points of view, rapid prototyping, and deep customer insight;
• Design AI-powered experiences that feel intuitive, trustworthy, and genuinely valuable across diverse customer personas and use cases;
• Actively use modern AI-assisted design and prototyping tools to explore ideas, accelerate learning, and collaborate closely with product and engineering partners;
• Lead fast, lightweight discovery loops using behavioral signals, scrappy research, and in-product data to inform decisions;
• Convert bold ideas into small, testable experiments that generate fast learning, measurable outcomes, and clear next steps;
• Partner deeply with PMs, engineers, and data to define scope, constraints, technical feasibility, and success metrics;
• Balance short-term execution with long-term strategic foresight, helping guide product direction as the market and technology evolve;
• Advocate relentlessly for quality, usability, and clarity across the end-to-end customer journey, including post-launch improvements;
• Mentor and support other designers through feedback, collaboration, and role-modeling strong craft, judgment, and design thinking.
