Senior Product Designer - Discovery

Relativity is building the next generation of Relativity aiR for legal data intelligence, and the Senior Product Designer - Discovery role is central to shaping how legal teams work with it. This is a hybrid/remote opportunity in Illinois, focused on leading end-to-end design and hands-on implementation across core case strategy workflows. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, UX Research, and AI/SMEs to deliver experiences that help customers move faster, with clarity and trust.

What you’ll do

• Lead design across the Discovery domain, owning the full path from discovery through delivery for core case strategy workflows.
• Own end-to-end experiences for legal teams across law firms, corporate, and government, with a focus on outcomes like early case insights, conflict detection, and deposition/trial preparation.
• Co-own product direction with product managers by identifying opportunities and shaping what gets built next.
• Design AI-centered workflows with applied scientists and product managers, including fact auditing, transcript analysis, memo drafting, document review, PI redaction, and knowledge management.
• Help define how AI surfaces recommendations in ways that are transparent, trustworthy, and actionable for legal professionals.
• Move beyond static mockups by implementing real interfaces in code using AI-assisted development to go from concept to working software quickly.
• Partner with engineering to take ideas into production, ensuring work is tested, accessible, reviewed, and shipped to customers.
• Create mockups, interactive prototypes, and detailed design specifications that align engineering, product, and executive stakeholders.
• Facilitate iterative review cycles, helping the team make aligned decisions quickly.
• Work within Relativity’s design system (RUI), helping push it forward while keeping discovery surfaces consistent, accessible, and scalable.
• Challenge existing UI patterns where they fall short and deliver innovative solutions that modernize the interface.
• Build durable working relationships with subject matter experts and use their input to pressure-test assumptions and inform the product roadmap.
• Occasionally travel for on-site discovery sessions, demos, conferences, and customer events.
• Present work to stakeholders and executives, gather feedback in the moment, and incorporate learnings into the next iteration.

What you bring

• 6-8+ years of experience as a product or UX designer, with a portfolio showing complex workflow design for enterprise users.
• Strong human-centered design practice, including research synthesis, journey mapping, and iterative prototyping.
• A strong bias toward action: ship in increments and prefer real user-facing work over waiting for perfect information.
• Roadmap thinking, anticipating what customers will need next and identifying where designs or implementations must flex for specific customer or jurisdiction needs.
• Collaboration strength across product, engineering, applied science, and research.
• Foundational visual design skills: layout, spacing, typography, and color theory.
• Ability to build and ship production-ready front-end code, working within an existing codebase.
• Track record using AI-assisted development to accelerate delivery.
• Clear communication of design decisions and ability to influence direction across seniority levels.
• Proficiency with modern design and development tooling, including AI-assisted workflows and AI-native development environments: Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, plus version control with Git.
• Knowledge of accessibility standards, including WCAG and Section 508.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary
• Annual performance bonus
• Long-term incentives

Nice to have

• Experience designing micro-interactions or motion design.
• Experience designing AI-assisted features, especially around artifact creation, knowledge building, or chat-based experiences.
• Experience contributing directly to a production codebase alongside engineers, including pull requests, code review, and CI/CD.
