AI Product Designer (New York)

AI Product Designer (Contract)

As a Contract AI Product Designer, you will drive end-to-end UX concept development across the studio's most forward-looking initiatives. Working closely with studio conversational (Content) designers, creative technologists, and researchers, you'll shape the future of the product ecosystem.

You're a systems thinker and hands-on inventor who moves fluidly between near-term design craft and long-horizon strategy. You'll report to the Sr. Design Director and collaborate within a multidisciplinary team that includes Creative Technologists, Researchers, and AI.

Position Responsibilities

Lead UX concept development for Generative Design System investigations — including adaptive UI surfaces, tokenized design patterns, and machine-readable component architectures for AI composition Define and prototype Agentic OS interaction models — including intent-based navigation, multi-agent task orchestration, and dynamic layout systems that replace traditional app grid paradigms Translate complex AI system behaviors into clear, human-centered interaction flows, scenarios, and design frameworks Develop strategy documents, user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity concept visions that communicate direction to both design peers and executive leadership Contribute to JTBD analysis, opportunity mapping, and product roadmap decisions

Skills

10+ years of UX, Interaction Design, or HCI experience, with at least 3 years focused on emerging or AI-powered product experiences Knowledge of current AI product design tools — including generative UI prototyping, AI-assisted design workflows, or prompt-driven concept exploration Strong command of OS-level or system UX design — navigation models, information architecture, cross-surface continuity Experience working within or alongside a scaled design system, including contributing patterns, interaction specs, or component logic Proficiency in Figma including component architecture, auto-layout, and variable/token workflows Ability to create compelling concept visions — from rough scenario sketches to polished, leadership-ready artifacts Design for AI and Emerging Systems Demonstrated experience designing for agentic or AI-native interfaces — including proactive systems, multi-step task flows, or autonomous agent UX Fluency with generative UI principles Hands-on knowledge of design system tokenization Understanding of LLM / AI model behavior ane agentic system design patterns — orchestration layers, delegation models, agent handoff, and user control/override mechanisms Experience designing multimodal interactions — voice, gesture, visual, or ambient input/output across device types Ability to prototype or storyboard intent-based navigation models

Soft Skills

Systems thinker who can hold both the 10,000-ft strategic vision and the 1-ft craft detail simultaneously Comfortable with ambiguity — able to frame open design questions, define the right problem, and move forward without complete information Strong communicator who can distill complex AI concepts into clear, compelling narratives for executive and cross-functional audiences Collaborative and generous — thrives in small, fast-moving, multidisciplinary studio environments Intellectually curious with a genuine interest in how AI will reshape human behavior, not just interface patterns
