About this role
We’re looking for a Forward-Deployed Product Designer to lead product design for customer deployments and turn those learnings into reusable product patterns.
This is a client-facing, high-context design role. You will work directly with customers to understand their operations, translate complex workflows into clear product experiences, and collaborate closely with forward-deployed engineers, product managers, and internal product teams to ship successful implementations.
Role requirements and focus
What you’ll work on
- Beyond individual customer projects, you will also help Tailor compound its design knowledge: identifying recurring workflows, formalizing reusable UI patterns, and feeding project learnings back into our design system, component libraries, and product roadmap.
- Work directly with customers to understand their business operations, user roles, workflows, pain points, and success criteria.
- Translate complex operational requirements into clear user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and product specifications.
- Own the design direction for customer-facing deployments, ensuring the final experience is intuitive, consistent, and aligned with the customer’s actual business process.
- Facilitate design reviews with customers and internal teams to drive clarity, alignment, and fast decision-making.
What they’re looking for
- Strong experience designing software products, preferably in SaaS, enterprise software, ERP, internal tools, operational systems, or developer platforms.
- Ability to design complex, workflow-heavy products used by multiple roles and stakeholders.
- Experience moving from ambiguous customer problems to clear product experiences and implementation-ready design specs.
- Comfortable working directly with customers, facilitating discovery sessions, presenting design concepts, and incorporating feedback.
- Able to understand both business requirements and user needs, then translate them into practical product decisions.
