Vice President, Product Design

Vice President, Product Designer We're seeking a future team member for the role of Vice President, Product Designer, AI Hub to join our Digital Channels team. This role is based in Pune. In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways: Make complexity clear - Take systems that are genuinely hard: multi-step workflows, cross-platform journeys, enterprise-scale data. Design experiences that make sense to the people who depend on them. Understand the problem at depth before touching anything. Drive concept development from day one - Bring ideas from research and outcomes to prototyped form fast. Demonstrate possibilities rather than describing them. Use AI-assisted tools to close the distance between design intent and working experience. Own the design of end-to-end experiences - Map journeys across users, teams, and systems. Identify where things break, where friction accumulates, and what needs to be rebuilt versus refined. Operate across the full scope of a platform experience, not just the screens in front of you. Contribute to a design system built for how design works now - Our design system is structured as machine-readable infrastructure, not just a component library. Tokens carry semantic meaning. Patterns encode reasoning about when and why they apply. AI agents consume it directly alongside human developers. Contributing here means adding to the grammar, not just the vocabulary, and understanding why that distinction matters. Communicate design as a point of view, not a deliverable - Articulate the rationale behind decisions. Help product managers and engineers understand the tradeoffs. Make design legible to people who don't speak design, without dumbing it down. Mentor through example. Raise the standard of work around you through critique, collaboration, and how you approach problems. Not through title. The Ideal Candidate Will Bring The Following Expertise Typically, 10 -14 years of experience, or equivalent demonstrated through portfolio and impact. Strong product design fundamentals: research synthesis, interaction design, systems thinking, visual craft Experience designing complex systems: enterprise software, multi-step workflows, data-heavy interfaces Demonstrated comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the problem isn't handed to you pre-formed The ability to communicate design rationale to mixed audiences (product, engineering, business) and hold your perspective under pressure Preferred: You already work with AI-assisted tools, not just for ideation, but for building and prototyping You've worked in shared codebases or repos with cross-functional teams, or you're actively moving in that direction You can describe a moment when AI changed how you approached a design problem, not made it faster, but made it *different* You've contributed to a design system at the pattern or systems level, not just component execution What will set you apart: You work at the intersection of design and technical implementation, close to the material, not downstream from it You've felt the industry shift happening and leaned toward it Your process produces things, not documents You have a deep excitement for and understanding of the opportunity that AI creates for design, even if you haven't fully arrived there yet, you're moving fast A portfolio is required, but what we most want to see may not look like a traditional design portfolio. The most compelling thing you can share is evidence of how you actually create products: working alongside product managers and engineers in real time, from research to something shippable, in a way that reflects how modern product teams operate. Show us a process, a repo, a prototype you built directly, a decision you influenced in the room. If you've worked in a shared codebase or repo with cross-functional partners, bring that to life. If you've used AI tools to get from insight to working experience faster, bring that to life. Beyond that, we want to see
