About this role

Artisan is building the next generation of AI-native tools for modern go-to-market teams, designing intelligent systems that automate revenue workflows. As an early design leader, you’ll shape the product, culture, processes, and design foundations in a Series A company with rapid iteration and enormous ownership. We seek a Staff UX Designer to operate as a hybrid product strategist, systems thinker, prototyper, and design leader.

You will own end-to-end UX for strategic AI-powered workflows, translating ambiguous opportunities into clear UX strategies and interaction models. Partner tightly with Product, Engineering, and ML teams to define user journeys, prototypes, and system behaviors. Design multi-step flows, data-rich interfaces, and scalable patterns for complex GTM use cases.

Thrive in a fast-moving environment with no bureaucratic guardrails, driving user research, usability testing, and a coherent design system. Collaborate cross-functionally to influence product vision while raising design quality through hands-on craft and mentorship. Work on multi-layered AI workflows that demand clarity, speed, and trust for GTM teams.

Set quality standards and mentor designers as the team scales, bridging near-term execution and long-term strategy. Define interaction models for autonomous agents and craft intuitive experiences in ambiguous problem spaces. Help shape the long-term product roadmap from a UX-led perspective.

Requirements

  • 7–10+ years of UX/Product Design experience, ideally in fast-growing SaaS or AI-driven products
  • Deep experience designing for ambiguous problem spaces
  • Ability to drive cross-functional collaboration and own UX from discovery to final craft
  • Think in systems and flows, turning messy problems into structured plans
  • Thrive in fast-moving environments with limited process and imperfect information
  • High-caliber craftsperson who cares deeply about clarity, precision, and usability
  • Collaborate naturally with PMs, engineers, ML researchers, and leadership
  • Comfortable designing workflows involving automation, decision support, or data-heavy AI experiences

Responsibilities

  • Drive user research and usability testing to validate hypotheses and refine product decisions
  • Develop a coherent design system that can scale as the product expands
  • Raise the bar for design quality across the organization through hands-on craft and mentorship
  • Help define the long-term product vision and roadmap from a UX-led perspective
