About The Position

Axiamatic is hiring a Head of Design to define the experience and design vision for its enterprise transformation software. The role will make the complexity of enterprise transformations—such as requirements, decisions, risks, dependencies, plans, artifacts, stakeholders, and signals across multiple systems—simple to understand and act on. Axiamatic brings this context together in a Living Context Graph and uses AI Transformation Agents and Playbooks to help users understand what is happening, what matters, and what to do next.

The Head of Design will own the design experience across the platform and work closely with Product, Engineering, the founders, and customers. This player-coach role combines hands-on product design with establishing the design function, building the team, and setting company-wide design standards. The role includes defining product experiences, shaping critical workflows, reviewing work with designers and engineers, and engaging directly with customers.

Requirements

• 8–12+ years of product design experience, ideally in complex enterprise B2B software.
• 2+ years leading and managing designers, including hiring and developing teams.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional product, interaction, and systems design.
• Experience taking complex products or workflows from 0 to 1.
• Strong product judgment and the ability to turn ambiguous, data-rich problems into simple experiences.
• Excellent customer, communication, and storytelling skills.
• A hands-on, low-ego leadership style and comfort operating at startup speed.

Nice To Haves

• Experience designing AI-native, agentic, or LLM-powered products.
• Experience with analytics, workflow, data, or other complex enterprise platforms.
• Experience designing for both executive and operational personas.
• Experience with complex data visualization, graphs, or decision-support systems.

Responsibilities

• Own the product design vision and define how Axiamatic should work and feel across the platform.
• Design experiences that make complex transformation data, risks, decisions, and AI-generated insights understandable and actionable.
• Define how users interact with Transformation Agents, the Living Context Graph, recommendations, evidence, and Playbooks.
• Personally lead design for important 0-to-1 product experiences, from early concepts through production.
• Hire, coach, and develop designers as the company scales.
• Establish design principles, patterns, systems, and a quality bar that enable a coherent product experience.
• Work directly with executives, PMOs, consultants, and delivery teams to understand their work and translate customer insights into better products.
• Partner with Product and Engineering from problem definition through implementation, making thoughtful tradeoffs and ensuring quality through launch.
