The Four Pillars of This Role
| 1 Design System Governance Own KlearNow Engine's design system as a product. Tokens, components, patterns, accessibility — built so PMs and engineers can ship great UX without you in every screen. | 2 AI-Native Experience Design Define how customers interact with our agentic workflows. Set the patterns for human-in-the-loop, explainability, confidence signals, and graceful agent handoff. |
| 3 Pod Enablement Embed lightweight design reviews into our pod framework. Coach PMs on prototyping in Lovable, v0, and Claude. Raise the floor of every shipped experience without becoming a bottleneck. | 4 Customer Outcomes Lead the design of customer-facing artifacts — the ZTR dashboard, QBR experiences, intelligence views — that drive adoption, expansion, and renewal. |
What You'll Own in Year One
| A governed, documented KlearNow Engine design system Single source of truth for tokens, components, and patterns. Adopted across every pod. Measured by reduction in design debt and time-to-prototype. |
| The Zero Touch Release customer dashboard, fully shipped The customer-facing portal that anchors our QBRs and pull-through expansion strategy. Live in front of our enterprise accounts. |
| A published pattern library for agentic and AI-driven UX The reference for how confidence, exceptions, automation status, and human override appear across our platform. |
| An operating cadence with the PM pod framework Design system reviews at Shape gate, lightweight critique during Build, a clear handoff to QA. Repeatable and respected. |
| One to two designers hired and ramped You will be a player-coach. You set the bar, you hire the people who can hold it, and you do real design work yourself. |
Must-Haves
| ✓ | Shipped enterprise B2B or complex workflow products You have designed for users who do this for a living — operators, brokers, analysts, supply chain teams. You understand density, edge cases, exceptions, and that "delight" in enterprise often means "removes a frustration that has existed for ten years." |
| ✓ | Built and governed a design system used by non-designers You have shipped a system that PMs, engineers, or AI tools draw from directly. You can show us the tokens, the documentation, the adoption curve, and the conversations about governance you led. |
| ✓ | Worked with AI, agentic, or copilot interfaces You have designed for systems that act on the user's behalf — automation status, confidence indicators, human-in-the-loop flows, exception routing, agent handoff. You have opinions on what works and what does not. |
| ✓ | Led design in a fast-shipping product org Weekly or bi-weekly releases. Small pods. Heavy use of prototyping tools. You know how to keep quality high without slowing the team down — and you can prove it. |
How We'll Recognize You
| STRONG SIGNAL + You use Lovable, v0, Cursor, Claude, or similar tools as design partners — daily + You talk about design systems as products with users, roadmaps, and adoption metrics + You can sketch a customs broker's day or an SRE's escalation flow without being asked + You have a published point of view on AI-native UX + You ask what our zero-touch rate is and what blocks it | NOT A FIT − Your portfolio is consumer apps, marketing sites, or "concept" work − You believe design quality requires designers to own every screen − You see AI tools as a threat to the craft rather than as leverage − You want to build a large design team before shipping value − You expect six weeks for discovery before producing anything |
How We Work
KlearNow runs a pod-based delivery framework. PMs and Engineering Leads co-own every pod with joint sign-off at every gate. Design enters at the Shape phase, not as a downstream handoff. The Engineering Lead authors the Technical Design Doc; the PM owns the value brief, shaped pitch, and prototype, often built in Lovable or v0 against your system. You join Shape reviews to set the design bar and unblock decisions — not to take screens away from the team.
Hotfixes are tiered (P0, P1, P2) with automated regression and minimal synchronous overhead. Releases are frequent. The work is real. The compliance stakes are real. So is the speed.
