About the Role:
SecurityScorecard is hiring a UX Director to lead the Product Design Research organization through a fundamental shift in how design gets done: AI-native, codebase-anchored, and embedded directly into product-line teams. This is a rebuild, not a maintenance role. You'll set design strategy at the executive level, reshape how the team operates day to day, and personally model what AI-first design leadership looks like in practice.
This role reports directly to the CPO and carries real influence over product direction.
What You'll Do
- Own design strategy. Set the multi-quarter design vision across the platform and AI-powered product lines, and make the case for design investment at the executive table.
- Rebuild the operating model. Move the team from a centralized ticket queue to decentralized pods embedded in product-line tracks, mirroring how Product and Engineering are organized, for continuity and closeness to the customer.
- Make your team AI builders, not AI users. Designers work directly against the codebase (GitHub access, same as engineers) to produce interactive, implementation-accurate prototypes grounded in the real system, not static comps or invented flows.
- Set the tone for cross-functional speed. When designers and PMs both move fast with AI on the same problem, best and fastest wins, in service of the customer.
- Govern the design system as infrastructure, measurably accelerating design and engineering velocity across every surface.
- Drive B2B design excellence for complex, data-dense, multi-persona enterprise workflows, with WCAG 2.2 accessibility as default.
- Embed research and data, using usability testing and behavioral analytics (FullStory, Pendo, or
