Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Beacon is a profitable, PE-backed legal technology company transforming its professional services platform into a SaaS product with AI and automation at the center of its roadmap. The Senior Product Designer will help scale the design function by creating user-centered experiences for complex B2B products, including case intelligence and search/matching workflows, while owning the end-to-end design process and partnering with engineering and product leadership.
Responsibilities
- Systems thinking over pure UI polish: mapping internal workflows, automating inefficiencies, and designing user journeys for internal, workflow-heavy tools
- Designing user-centered experiences across a suite of complex, data-dense B2B products, including AI-powered case workflows
- Owning the end-to-end design process — discovery, user research, wireframing, prototyping, and high-fidelity delivery in Figma
- Rapidly prototyping and exploring concepts using AI-powered design tools, with the ability to clearly articulate design decisions (including verbal communication with AI tools)
- Partnering closely with engineering to ensure accurate, efficient implementation
- Presenting and defending design decisions to product leadership and senior stakeholders with confidence and executive presence
- Contributing to design systems and standards as the design function matures
Skills
- A systems thinker, not a pure UI designer — someone whose core skill is mapping workflows and solving user problems, not producing visually polished screens
- An empathetic, user-centric design approach, with success measured by real problem-solving rather than portfolio aesthetics
- Technical fluency with AI prototyping tools (e.g., v0, Cursor, Galileo, Uizard, or similar)
- Strong executive presence and communication skills — able to present, defend, and explain design rationale to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
- Production-level proficiency in Figma, including component structure and engineering handoff
- B2B SaaS background (B2C experience acceptable but less ideal)
- Experience at an SMB-focused in-house team or an agency serving SMBs (large-enterprise-only backgrounds are considered too role-specific)
- Authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship
- No B2B or enterprise design experience
- Agency background — the company's stakeholder dynamics closely resemble an in-house agency model
- Experience in legal tech, compliance, or another workflow-heavy regulated industry
- Design systems ownership at product scale
- Direct ownership of user research (running interviews, usability testing)
- Prior experience at a company undergoing a platform transformation or major redesign
- Familiarity with designing AI-driven product interfaces (model outputs, confidence indicators, human-in-the-loop patterns)
