We're growing our Product Design organization to support a strategic evolution: from a suite of point solutions into an integrated ELD platform. Design is at the center of this shift. As we connect compliance, instruction, and assessment into unified workflows, we need designers who can define what the experience should be, not just what it looks like. We're looking for an experienced Product Designer who can shape solutions that feel like one coherent system, not a collection of tools. This is a hands-on, strategic role. You'll work with a cross-functional team to understand user problems deeply, define the right experience to solve them, and ship solutions that create real value. You'll use LLM-assisted prototyping to explore ideas quickly and stress-test concepts -- freeing you to focus on systems thinking and user impact. And you'll leverage Backpack, our design system, to create consistent, integrated experiences across products. Product Culture We are organized into small, durable product teams that develop solutions in specific domains. Our teams are cross-functional—product, design, and engineering work so closely together that we call ourselves DevPro and rarely meet in functional silos. We focus on outcomes over output, which means we engage users early, validate hypotheses through research and prototyping, and iterate rapidly toward high-confidence solutions. While we work in separate teams, we prioritize integration and consistency of our solutions meaning consistency isn’t a nice to have, it’s a critical part of our end goal. We expect designers to integrate AI tools into their workflows as on-demand collaborators that can help explore ideas quickly: generating variations, stress-testing concepts, and moving from problem to prototype faster than traditional methods allow. This isn't about replacing craft; it's about using AI to expand what's possible within a time constraint. You'll be evaluated on what you're able to produce with these tools, not just your manual output. We value Product Designers who think strategically and are able to look at problems from multiple angles, weigh tradeoffs, and articulate how a solution meets the needs of both users and the business. We celebrate accountability to outcomes: conducting experiments, adjusting strategy based on learnings, and delivering products that change behavior and drive real value. This is a hybrid role based out of our headquarters in Boston, MA. Within 1 month, you will: - Build a clear picture of the strategic context and challenges facing Ellevation and understand how that applies to your team’s domains. - Build relationships across the Design team and understand team culture and rituals. Develop rapport with key cross-functional collaborators. - Complete company onboarding. Within 3 months, you will: - Continue building trust and shared goals with key collaborators. - Be an active member of the Design Team. - Contribute to your product team’s initiatives through participating in user research, discovery, prototyping workflows. Demonstrate how your work connects to team objectives. Within 6 months, you will: - Own the design of your product area, work with your product manager to define short-term and long-term objectives, and continuously learn and deliver results based on those learnings. - Leverage the trust you have built to promote design thinking and best practices within your team. - Strengthen relationships with other members of R&D team to enable cross-functional work. Within 12 months, you will: - Use the expertise and context you have built over the past year to participate more broadly in the overall product strategy and direction. - Actively contribute to the adoption of Backpack, our design system. Influence and evangelize our design culture, values, processes, and vision to the greater organization. About You - You have 5+ years of demonstrated success as a cross-functional designer in a B2B SaaS or adjacent environment. - You're AI-fluent—using LLM-assisted prototyping to accelerate ideation and validation, freeing you to focus on strategy and systems thinking. - You're accountable to outcomes, not just output. You run experiments, learn from what ships, and measure success by whether the product changes behavior. - You go to the source. You've led user research and usability testing in the field, and you don't design from assumptions. - You seek feedback and confront hard truths. Craft is a practice, not a credential—you iterate with users, engineers, and data. - You bring diverse perspectives into your process and design with empathy for users unlike yourself. - You think in systems, creating coherent experiences across workflows rather than isolated features. - You bring people along. You articulate tradeoffs clearly, mentor others, and contribute to a culture of design excellence. Travel Expectations - Boston-area preferred - New England-area employees will be expected to travel to Boston for 2 days a month 10x a year. Are you passionate about growth and eager to learn?
