Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Lux Research is a technology, innovation, and consumer insights firm that advises global leaders on emerging science, technology, and market trends. The Lead Product Designer will own end-to-end design for Lux’s next-generation AI-native intelligence platform, translating complex research data and analytical workflows into intuitive interfaces while building the product’s design system and partnering with engineering, product, and research to ship high-quality experiences.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end design for the platform: research, information architecture, user flows, interaction design, and high-fidelity visual design
- Turn ambiguous problems and complex data into clear, intuitive interfaces that non-technical users can navigate with confidence
- Design AI-native experiences: how users prompt, review, trust, and act on model-generated output, including human-in-the-loop review and personalization
- Produce work at the fidelity engineering can build from directly, with the states, edge cases, and specs filled in
- Build and maintain a branded, accessible design system (components, patterns, tokens, guidelines) that keeps the product consistent as the team and surface area grow
- Ensure accessibility is built in, not bolted on, meeting WCAG standards across the product
- Establish and hold a high craft bar for visual polish, interaction quality, and consistency
- Run your own design roadmap: manage priorities and cadence against business and user needs, and deliver predictably without close supervision
- Internalize feedback and direction the first time, carry it forward across the work, and keep stakeholders unblocked without needing to be chased
- Partner with engineering to ship designs faithfully, working web-first and handing off cleanly to a modern React and Tailwind frontend
- Use AI-assisted design and prototyping tooling to move quickly from idea to testable artifact
Skills
- Candidates must be located in and authorized to work in the United States; we are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this position
- 6+ years of product, UX, or interaction design experience, preferably in a SaaS or B2B technology environment, with a portfolio that shows end-to-end ownership of shipped, complex software products
- Demonstrated strength across the full stack of design: research, information architecture, interaction, and visual craft, with the range to work at both low and high fidelity
- Proven experience building and maintaining a design system used by a real engineering team
- A track record of operating as an independent or sole designer: setting your own bar, managing your own priorities, and delivering reliably without close supervision
- Strong follow-through: you take direction once and carry it through, rather than requiring the same feedback repeatedly
- Fluency in designing for data-dense, workflow-heavy products; experience with AI or analytics products is a strong plus
- Fluent enough in how modern web frontends are built (component models, responsive design, design tokens) to hand off work that ships faithfully
- Expert with Figma and modern design and prototyping tooling; working knowledge of accessibility standards and how to meet them in practice
- Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to present and justify design decisions to stakeholders at all levels
- You hold a high bar for craft and take pride in the details, and you do it without being asked twice
- You create clarity in ambiguity rather than waiting to be handed it
- You love people: how they think, sharing ideas, and working together toward a common goal
- You are highly creative, bold, yet practical, and you regularly turn ideas into outcomes that move the product forward
- You want to throw yourself completely into building something exciting and larger than yourself
Benefits
- Fully remote, U.S.-based role
