AI Product Designer (Contract) As a Contract AI Product Designer, you will drive end-to-end UX concept development across the studio's most forward-looking initiatives. Working closely with studio conversational (Content) designers, creative technologists, and researchers, you'll shape the future of the product ecosystem. You're a systems thinker and hands-on inventor who moves fluidly between near-term design craft and long-horizon strategy. You'll report to the Sr. Design Director and collaborate within a multidisciplinary team that includes Creative Technologists, Researchers, and AI. Position Responsibilities • Lead UX concept development for Generative Design System investigations — including adaptive UI surfaces, tokenized design patterns, and machine-readable component architectures for AI composition, • Define and prototype Agentic OS interaction models — including intent-based navigation, multi-agent task orchestration, and dynamic layout systems that replace traditional app grid paradigms, • Translate complex AI system behaviors into clear, human-centered interaction flows, scenarios, and design frameworks, • Develop strategy documents, user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity concept visions that communicate direction to both design peers and executive leadership, • Contribute to JTBD analysis, opportunity mapping, and product roadmap decisions Skills • 10+ years of UX, Interaction Design, or HCI experience, with at least 3 years focused on emerging or AI-powered product experiences, • Knowledge of current AI product design tools — including generative UI prototyping, AI-assisted design workflows, or prompt-driven concept exploration, • Strong command of OS-level or system UX design — navigation models, information architecture, cross-surface continuity, • Experience working within or alongside a scaled design system, including contributing patterns, interaction specs, or component logic, • Proficiency in Figma including component architecture, auto-layout, and variable/token workflows, • Ability to create compelling concept visions — from rough scenario sketches to polished, leadership-ready artifacts, • Design for AI and Emerging Systems, • Demonstrated experience designing for agentic or AI-native interfaces — including proactive systems, multi-step task flows, or autonomous agent UX, • Fluency with generative UI principles, • Hands-on knowledge of design system tokenization, • Understanding of LLM / AI model behavior ane agentic system design patterns — orchestration layers, delegation models, agent handoff, and user control/override mechanisms, • Experience designing multimodal interactions — voice, gesture, visual, or ambient input/output across device types, • Ability to prototype or storyboard intent-based navigation models Soft Skills • Systems thinker who can hold both the 10,000-ft strategic vision and the 1-ft craft detail simultaneously, • Comfortable with ambiguity — able to frame open design questions, define the right problem, and move forward without complete information, • Strong communicator who can distill complex AI concepts into clear, compelling narratives for executive and cross-functional audiences, • Collaborative and generous — thrives in small, fast-moving, multidisciplinary studio environments, • Intellectually curious with a genuine interest in how AI will reshape human behavior, not just interface patterns Compensation: $90 - $112.83 per hour ID#: 36994446
