Staff Product Designer

About the Role We’re hiring a Staff Product Designer to join Fieldguide. You’ll own complex, ambiguous problem spaces end-to-end, partner deeply with Product and Engineering, and help shape the design direction of a core Fieldguide product. Fieldguide operates at a fast cadence; you’ll ship frequently, iterate in tight loops, and manage ambiguity. You should be comfortable balancing speed with craft and designing AI-assisted workflows directly into the product.

What You'll Do

• Lead end-to-end design for complex, ambiguous audit workflows, from problem definition through shipped solutions
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to shape strategy, influence roadmaps, and deliver high-quality, scalable implementations
• Drive design execution with minimal direction, operating effectively in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
• Translate customer needs, research insights, and business goals into clear user journeys, interaction models, and polished UI
• Balance speed and iteration with usability, consistency, and long-term product quality
• Advocate for users while accounting for technical, regulatory, and business constraints
• Own a significant product area or customer journey, anticipating downstream impacts across workflows and personas
• Set a high bar for craft and influence by contributing to the design system, mentoring peers, and serving as a trusted design voice

What We're Looking For

• You operate as a strategic IC — you don't just solve problems, you decide which problems matter
• You think several steps ahead, anticipating how decisions in one area ripple across others
• You're comfortable influencing senior PM and Engineering leaders, not just your immediate collaborators
• Experience shaping how AI-assisted workflows get designed at a systemic level, not just within a single flow
• You've coached or mentored other designers and can articulate why, not just what
• You set a bar for craft and consistency that others look to as the standard
• You can hold a long-term point of view while still shipping incrementally

Nice to Have

• Experience designing for audit, accounting, compliance, or other regulated domains
• Track record of shaping design strategy across multiple teams, not just a single product area
• Experience building or scaling design systems, standards, or team-wide processes
• Background in workflow-heavy, document-centric, or B2B SaaS products
• Experience coaching or managing designers, formally or informally
• Familiarity with accessibility standards and inclusive design practices at scale

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary range: USD 180,000 - 210,000 per year
• Remote-first company culture with opportunities to influence product direction
