Build and lead the design team of ~4 product designers. Set the bar for craft, speed, and strategic impact. Establish design as a true partner in the product trio, not a service function.
Define the interaction paradigm for a product where AI agents execute procurement workflows autonomously and buyers supervise, steer, and handle exceptions. You'll develop the mental models, patterns, and UI frameworks for it.
Own and evolve our design system and component architecture that coding agents can reliably work within. Your frameworks need to be precise enough for LLM-driven development and flexible enough for rapid iteration.
Make deeply technical procurement concepts (should-costing, raw material indices, contract leakage) accessible and actionable for users who are not data analysts. Turn complexity into clarity.
Drive user understanding on a company level by implementing best practices around user & UX research and be an advocate of our users within Tacto. Make sure every function is focused on solving real user problems.
