But right now, most AI tools get the balance wrong—either requiring prompt engineering expertise or offering black box decisions users can't trust. People want to use AI more extensively in their workflows, but they need confidence that it will behave predictably, handle edge cases gracefully, and provide human oversight when it matters most.</p><p>As a Senior Product Designer on our AI Tasks team, you'll craft experiences that make powerful AI capabilities approachable and trustworthy. You'll own Human-in-the-Loop and AI by Zapier—designing the tools that help millions of users confidently integrate AI execution and human review into their automations. You'll report to Mindy Wagner and work directly with product, engineering, sales, and customer success to shape how our customers use AI to unlock new workflow capabilities.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What You'll Love About This Role</strong></h2><ul><li><p><strong>Strategic impact and real influence.</strong> Your designs directly drive Zapier's enterprise growth, shape company strategy, and close major deals. You're defining how we think about enterprise design across the company.</p></li><li><p><strong>Fascinating, career-defining problems.</strong> Enterprise AI governance, citizen development models, administrative AI agents, and organizational transformation are genuinely challenging design spaces at the forefront of where work is headed. Help establish industry-leading patterns.</p></li><li><p><strong>Exceptional collaborators.</strong> Partner with product, engineering, and go-to-market teams who care deeply about outcomes and are building something genuinely differentiated.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p><a href="https://zapier.com/jobs/our-commitment-to-applicants/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Our Commitment to Applicants</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://zapier.com/jobs/culture-and-values-at-zapier/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Culture and Values at Zapier</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://zapier.com/learn/remote-work/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Zapier Guide to Remote Work</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://zapier.com/jobs/zapier-code-of-conduct/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Zapier Code of Conduct</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://zapier.com/jobs/working-on-diversity-and-inclusivity/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><u>Diversity and Inclusivity at Zapier</u></a></p></li></ul><p></p><h2><strong>About You </strong></h2><ul><li><p><strong>Leading across teams and building consensus.</strong> You have 7+ years designing for enterprises, with demonstrated experience driving initiatives across multiple product areas, aligning misaligned stakeholders, and partnering with VP-level leadership on product direction. You present to executives, navigate conflicting feedback from sales, engineering, and customer success, and drive alignment when teams disagree.</p></li><li><p><strong>Platform thinking and setting standards.</strong> You see how admin, workspaces, and observability connect—and design systems that work cohesively across all of them. You establish design patterns, governance frameworks, and interaction models that other teams adopt and build on. Your work compounds value across the organization.</p></li><li><p><strong>Enterprise complexity at scale.</strong> You've shipped admin experiences, RBAC systems, audit trails, or compliance features for thousands of users across multiple stakeholder groups (IT, Security, Compliance, end users). You design governance and oversight experiences that help enterprises adopt AI confidently—balancing democratized access with necessary controls, and making complex systems like permissions, provisioning, and IDP mapping intuitive without oversimplifying what power users need.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p><strong>Demonstrate Craft and Impact</strong>: Share a portfolio that highlights polished UI, strong UX thinking, and clear, measurable impact on both user behavior and business goals.</p></li><li><p><strong>Fluent in AI</strong>: Have hands-on experience designing AI-powered features and using AI tools to enhance creativity and expand design possibilities.</p></li></ul><p></p><h2><strong>Things You’ll Do</strong></h2><ul><li><p><strong>Drive cross-zone design initiatives.</strong> Lead work across admin, workspaces, and observability surfaces. Navigate competing team priorities, align misaligned stakeholders, and establish shared direction that serves the platform. Transform requirements from sales conversations, compliance audits, and customer feedback into intuitive workflows that just make sense.</p></li><li><p><strong>Partner with executive leadership and shape strategy.</strong> Present to executive stakeholders, translate business strategy into design direction, and influence company roadmap through research-backed design thinking. Lead cross-functional workshops and facilitate discovery that identifies strategic opportunities others miss.</p></li><li><p><strong>Define AI governance UX and platform patterns.</strong> Design admin workflows, policy management tools, administrative AI agents, and real-time risk detection that give IT leaders confidence at scale. Create design systems and governance frameworks that work for both 500-person startups and 100,000-person enterprises—and that other teams build on.</p></li><li><p><strong>Coach designers and build team capabilities.</strong> Help designers tackle enterprise complexity and level up on what makes enterprise design effective. Share your frameworks broadly and help the team grow.</p></li></ul><p></p><h2><strong>How to Apply</strong></h2><p>At Zapier, we believe that diverse perspectives and experiences make us better, which is why we have a non-standard application process designed to promote inclusion and equity.
