• Partner closely with platform AI teams to shape inputs, context, and outputs into trusted, human-centered experiences
• Lead front-end experience design, conversational UX, and rapid prototyping efforts
• Translate financial policies, guardrails, and compliance constraints into clear, intuitive user experiences
• Collaborate with product, engineering, design, and risk partners to ensure alignment across teams
• Continuously iterate on experiences using user feedback, behavioral insights, and quality signals

The expertise and skills you bring:

• 8+ years of experience in UX, product, or conversational design, including AI-powered or agent-based systems
• Proven ability to design complex, stateful, multi-turn and multi-session user journeys
• Strong systems thinking, with fluency collaborating across product, engineering, and AI platform teams
• Hands-on experience shaping front-end experiences and interaction models for customer-facing products
• Ability to balance innovation with clarity, trust, and compliance in regulated environments
