About The Position

ISMG is hiring an AI Product Designer for its AI & Innovation team. The role will own front-end development and interaction design for a portfolio of AI-native intelligence products, including audience analytics reporting, an AI-generated daily cybersecurity newscast, and a sourced Q&A system built on ISMG’s conference archive. This is a founding design-engineering position on a small team, with responsibility for experiences used by security executives, ISMG’s editorial organization, and enterprise clients. The designer will take products from stakeholder conversations through deployment, conduct lightweight user research, prototype and validate workflows, and translate complex AI and reporting processes into clear, task-oriented experiences. The role will establish the team’s design system, maintain Figma libraries and design tokens, create a design-to-code handoff process, build with AI-assisted development tools, and deploy within ISMG’s Azure environment. The designer will also instrument products with Application Insights and use adoption and usage data to inform the roadmap, while partnering with the AI Innovation Manager and business units across editorial, marketing, and sales.

Advanced proficiency in Next.js, React, TypeScript, modern CSS, and semantic HTML.
Strong knowledge of enterprise UX fundamentals, including accessibility, performance, responsive behavior, role-based access, and dense data or visualization.
