Responsibilities
Forward Deployed Execution with Strategy & Systems Thinking
Embed directly as a hands-on, principal contributor on Later's most critical zero-to-one product bets, operating at the intersection of design, product strategy, and engineering execution.
Drive rapid, high-fidelity experimentation by turning abstract business requirements into functional prototypes, bypassing traditional wireframing phases to validate ideas immediately in the browser.
Act as the ultimate safeguard for user experience on flagship launches, jumping in with the team to unblock strategic initiatives through direct co-creation.
Translate business strategy and customer insight into a design roadmap that supports growth, stickiness, and commercial outcomes.
Identify and resolve structural gaps in the product experience that individual teams, working in isolation, would not catch.
AI & Agentic Mastery
Pioneer and execute agentic UX workflows, building functional AI prototypes that unify product design across Later Social, Later Influence, and Mavely.
Architect and codify the UI/UX patterns for human-in-the-loop interactions, AI trust mechanisms, and agentic failure states by actively building and testing prompts and context windows alongside engineering partners.
Integrate generative AI and computational design practices into the daily workflows of the product organization, setting the standard for how AI accelerates UX exploration and research synthesis.
Leadership and Mentorship
Lead, mentor, and elevate a high-performing team of UX designers by shifting the culture from traditional screen-design to an AI-native, builder-first mindset.
