What the job involves
- We're seeking an experienced product design leader to develop and scale our design organization, and oversee the design of our product
- You’ll inherit a high-performing team of six talented product designers, and will empower them to develop industry-leading user experiences and AI-first innovation, while growing professionally as individuals and as a team
- You’ll report to our Chief Product Officer, and work closely with our product management function as well as our engineering, sales, marketing, and customer-facing teams to foster design excellence across the organization
- This role would benefit from in-person collaboration in San Francisco, where many of our product management, design, and engineering personnel are based, although we also welcome exceptional candidates from elsewhere in the United States and Canada
- Lead and scale a high-performance product design team, while strengthening our culture of excellence and innovation
- Lead our growing adoption of AI-first design tools, and pioneer new ways to transform the development process through AI-enabled rapid prototyping, in partnership with our product management and engineering teams
- Identify and drive step-change improvements in product experience that differentiate us in the market
- Lead efforts to develop innovative design patterns for our customer-facing AI products
- Uphold our high bar for talent as you grow the team and build specialist design functions over time
- Promote professional and career development for design team members
- Champion user-centered design across the organization, and drive company-wide design vision and strategy

Our take
Juniper Square is an investment management solutions platform that aims to empower LPs (Limited Partners) and GPs (General Partners) to expand opportunities through partnerships and make the world of private equity more transparent, efficient, and accessible. With a suite of tools that focus on CRM, fundraising, investor reporting, and an investor portal, the company has modernised and streamlined private equity management for companies such as Beacon Capital Partners, Bell Partners, and Greystar.
Founded in 2014, Juniper Square were immediately in direct competition with analytical monolith Microsoft Excel, as well as popular equity management apps like Fundwave. However, the platform has exceeded expectations, in part because of its fluid and longer-term focused software solutions that have innovated what was previously archaic and error-ridden under Excel.
Serving almost 2000 GPs, Juniper Square supports tens of thousands of investment partnerships, covering hundreds of billions in LP capital. The company has raised substantial funding that will be used to fuel rapid growth, accelerate innovation, and expand its services.
