- • Work across multiple product areas including order processing, purchasing, accounts payable, and AI-powered decision-support tools, balancing shifting priorities with consistent design quality.

- • Advocate for user-centered design while influencing product decisions through data, research, and clear rationale.
- • Maintain exceptional attention to detail with the judgment to prioritize which details most impact usability and business outcomes.
- • Foster a culture of design excellence by challenging assumptions, welcoming feedback, and collaborating transparently with cross-functional teams.
- • Support the growth of the design function as the company scales, mentoring junior designers and contributing to design processes and standards.
🎯 Requirements
- • 5+ years of experience designing complex B2B SaaS products, ideally involving operational workflows, data-rich experiences, or AI-powered products.
- • A portfolio that demonstrates framing complex problems and translating them into intuitive, user-centered products.
- • Strong product thinking with the ability to connect design decisions to customer needs and business outcomes.
- • Confidence to advocate for ideas, challenge assumptions, and influence product decisions while remaining open to feedback.
- • A curious mindset and desire to explore how AI and emerging technologies can improve real customer workflows.
- • Experience working in remote-first, distributed teams across North and South America.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Opportunity to shape the future of software for an industry that keeps the global economy running.
- • Work alongside ambitious, thoughtful teammates in a remote-first, distributed environment across North and South America.
- • Invested in hiring, development, and creating an environment where talented individuals can do the best work of their careers.
- • Culture of ownership, transparency, and continuous improvement with trust given to individuals to make things happen.
