About the Role
Miro is looking for a visionary Staff Product Designer to lead the charge for our Prototypes product. This isn’t just about refining a feature; it’s about defining the future of how millions of people bring their ideas to life.
As a key leader within the Canvas Modes stream, you will lead the long-term design strategy for Prototyping at Miro. We are looking for an AI Native designer - someone who doesn’t just see AI as a feature but as a fundamental shift in the product development process and ultimately, a massive opportunity.
You will be tasked with shaping not just where Miro’s Prototype offering should be, but where it is going - ensuring we aren't just keeping pace with the market, but setting it.
What you’ll do
- Define and drive the North Star for Miro Prototyping. You’ll articulate a vision that disrupts the norms and looks where the market is going.
- Be a tireless innovator in the AI space. You will explore how generative AI can collapse the gap between a rough sketch and full functioning app.
- Approach the product with an entrepreneurial spirit and sense of ownership. You’ll navigate ambiguity, build lean experiments, and treat the Prototyping mode as your own startup within Miro.
- Leverage your deep understanding of the design tool landscape to create a best-in-class experience that rivals any competitor while maintaining Miro’s ease of use and considering our other suite of formats.
- Partner with Product and Engineering to solve complex technical challenges around AI quality, discoverability, and the seamless transition between the ‘infinite canvas’ and ‘Prototypes Focus Mode’.
- Set the bar for design excellence at Miro, mentoring other designers and contributing to the evolution of our design systems and internal tooling.
What you’ll need
- 10+ years of product design experience, ideally in B2B SaaS or AI-focused roles.
- At least 2-3 years operating at a Staff / Principal level, with proven ownership of complex initiatives.
- A strong portfolio showcasing your ability to create clear, user-focused products and strategies. Demonstrating both the impact on user experience and business goals.
- A deep understanding of AI and AI design tooling and the ability to show you’re leading the charge.
- Proven experience working closely with cross-functional teams, including product management, UX design, and engineering, to deliver seamless content solutions.
- Deep understanding of UX practices, information architecture, and user-centred design methodologies.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate the value of design and collaborate effectively across diverse teams.
- A proactive and flexible approach, comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment and managing multiple priorities.
- Experience working on design tools, editors, or creative software is a massive plus.
What's in it for you
