Senior Product Designer

Degreed is hiring a Senior Product Designer to help shape experiences across its learning and skills platform, including the AI coach Maestro. In this role, you will own end-to-end design work and extend Degreed’s design system while making AI-first decisions about where workflows benefit from visible UI and where they can remain observable and auditable.

What you’ll do

• Own end-to-end design for features across the learning and skills platform, from problem framing and discovery through specs and QA, continuing through launch and impact.
• Lead customer calls and/or directly solicit customer feedback to strengthen design and product sense.
• Drive continuous improvement in quality, usability, and overall user experience.
• Extend and maintain Degreed’s design system, assessing when a new component is needed versus when an existing one should be reused.
• Audit and rework existing surfaces (including admin settings, profile, and core learning workflows) to reduce inconsistency as the product evolves.
• For each new workflow, decide whether it requires visible UI, including what AI can handle invisibly versus what must remain observable and auditable for the user.
• Design conversational and agent-facing experiences alongside traditional UI, extending the design system and emerging AI interaction patterns rather than treating AI work as a separate visual language.
• Partner with product and tech leads to scope work and define requirements.
• Present designs in review, incorporate cross-functional feedback, and protect the core interaction model from erosion.
• Act as an expert for pod or product areas of focus, serving as a key stakeholder for cross-functional questions.

What you bring

• Ability to work with ambiguous or conflicting input from enterprise customers (via solutions, sales, or direct research), moving from framing through a scoped, buildable spec while owning the interaction model and visual execution, and separating stated requests from underlying needs.
• Strong judgment about whether a workflow needs visible UI, including weighing observability, reversibility, and auditability before deciding AI can handle work invisibly.
• Comfort building interactive, near-functional prototypes using code or AI-assisted tools to test directions before fully scoping.
• Experience with prompt engineering to build and test conversational agents.
• Working understanding of what AI can and cannot do reliably, including accuracy, latency, and context limits, sufficient to judge feasibility.
• Use AI to prototype interactions quickly, generate and compare component variations, and identify where workflows can be delegated to AI instead of built as UI.
• Experience extending and maintaining a component-based design system, with the ability to reuse existing patterns when appropriate and justify new ones when necessary.
• Strong end-user focus, with attention to key decision makers and the value provided.
• Comfort conducting discovery research and usability tests, using findings to inform design decisions.
