Senior AI Design Manager

### Role Overview This role sits at the center of Jira's AI transformation: building experiences where agentic systems and human teams work together. You'll lead the design vision for how Jira evolves into an intelligent platform where agents plan, execute, and collaborate as teammates. You will define how agents take direction, report progress, negotiate tradeoffs, and earn trust. ### Key Responsibilities - Define and drive the design vision for Jira's agentic AI experiences—what Jira looks and feels like when agents are native collaborators. - Set the direction for multi-year product evolution and build alignment across product, engineering, and executive leadership. - Lead a team of 8-12 designers: setting craft standards, developing talent, and fostering an inclusive team culture. - Partner with engineering to navigate the technical constraints of agent architectures, LLM behavior, and platform design. - Drive experimentation (MVPs, prototypes, concept sprints) to validate new interaction paradigms before scaling them. - Own end-to-end design quality of shipped AI experiences across Jira surfaces. - Coordinate across AI platform, ecosystem design, and adjacent product teams to ensure connected, coherent experiences. ### Candidate Profile - Direct experience designing for agentic systems, AI platforms, or autonomous workflows. - Technical depth to collaborate as a peer with engineering leaders on architecture, model behavior, and system design. - Track record leading design for complex, large-scale enterprise or developer-facing products. - Demonstrated ability to define a compelling product vision and deliver against it in evolving, ambiguous environments. - Experience managing and growing teams of 8+ designers. - Preferred: Background in developer tools, project management, or productivity platforms.
