Description:
As a Senior Staff Product Designer – AI, you will be a cross-organizational design leader driving the vision, strategy, and design excellence behind how 1Password harnesses artificial intelligence responsibly and securely. You’ll operate at the intersection of product, platform, and organizational design — defining cohesive AI experience strategies that span multiple product areas and influence the company’s approach to trustworthy, privacy-aware AI.
You’ll partner closely with senior product, research, data, and engineering leadership to shape how AI is integrated across 1Password’s ecosystem. Your work will inform not only how our customers interact with intelligent systems, but also how we design for emerging forms of identity, trust, and automation.
This role blends visionary systems thinking with a hands-on design practice—inspiring, guiding, and empowering teams to deliver cohesive, humane, and secure AI experiences at scale.
This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.
What We're Looking For
- 10 + years of product design experience, with deep expertise in end-to-end product strategy, systems thinking, and leading multi-track design initiatives.
- Proven success designing and shipping AI-powered experiences (e.g., generative AI, predictive UX, LLM-powered assistants, ML-driven automation, etc.).
- Strong understanding of intelligent system behavior — ability to design for non-deterministic outcomes, explainability, and human-AI collaboration.
- Demonstrated ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels, translating company vision into actionable design roadmaps.
- Deep commitment to ethical and inclusive AI, ensuring privacy, transparency, and accessibility in every aspect of the user experience.
- Exceptional storytelling and facilitation skills; ability to drive alignment across senior stakeholders through clarity and empathy.
- A strong portfolio showcasing high-impact design work, demonstrating thought leadership, conceptual rigor, and system-level influence.
- Proven experience mentoring Staff and Senior Designers, nurturing design maturity and strategic impact across teams.
- Comfortable influencing executives and cross-org partners through a mix of design evidence, research insights, and customer empathy.
- A growth mindset and desire to pioneer responsible AI design practices in a fast-moving domain.
