Director, Product Design

Make Your Mark

BlackLine is building the AI-native platform for autonomous finance: configure once, let agents execute the workflow, and have people review the exceptions. As Director, Product Design, you will set and evangelize the design vision and strategy for the BlackLine platform, and you will define what trusted AI looks and feels like for the accountants, controllers, and finance leaders who sign their name to the numbers our products produce.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a deliberately lean design organization, where leverage comes from systems rather than layers. You will coach a small senior team and own headcount, budget, and tooling strategy. You will represent design in senior leadership forums, translating business goals into design strategy and back again, and you will be accountable for business outcomes: activation and adoption of AI-assisted workflows, retention and expansion, usability, and the trust our users place in what the system does on their behalf.

The people this role designs for put their professional judgment behind every AI-assisted output, and you are expected to hold that reality as a design input, not a research footnote. Visual craft matters, but the primary craft is systems and interaction design: how the product behaves under uncertainty, how it recovers from errors, and how trust is built.
