Product Designer II

At Tekion, we're reimagining the automotive retail industry by bringing consumer-gradedesign to enterprise software. Our design team tackles deep complexity, connectingOEMs, dealers, and customers across the entire automotive journey. We believe powerfulsoftware doesn't have to be complicated as AI reshapes how software is built andexperienced, we're looking for a Product Designer 2 who can independently own designdelivery for product features while developing a sharper eye for AI-powered experiences,user outcomes, and product quality. Join us in transforming how millions of people buyand service vehicles through the power of exceptional design.As a Product Designer 2, you will own end-to-end design for assigned features and productsurfaces from research and problem framing through to high-fidelity execution and post-launch iteration. You will operate with increasing independence, build strong cross-functional partnerships, and begin to question requirements rather than simply executethem.Required Qualifications• 3–5 years of experience in end-to-end product design.• Proven track record of shipping successful product features with measurableoutcomes.• Strong portfolio demonstrating a user-centred design process, not just polishedfinal screens.• Experience conducting user research and translating insights directly into designdecisions.• Advanced proficiency in Figma, you use auto-layout, variants, components, andresponsive design.• Strong understanding of design systems and how to contribute to themmeaningfully.• Clear communication and presentation skills: you can explain your rationale toPMs, engineers, and stakeholders.• Understanding of technical constraints and how to design within and around themproactively.• Experience designing for B2B, enterprise, or platform applications is highlydesirable.Key Responsibilities• Own end-to-end design for assigned features and product surfaces with minimaloversight.• Conduct user research including interviews, usability testing, and synthesis offindings.• Create user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity designs that are clear, considered,and well-documented.• Present design concepts and rationale confidently to stakeholders and incorporatefeedback effectively.• Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Engineers throughout discovery anddelivery.• Contribute meaningfully to the design system in terms of components, patterns,and documentation.• Analyse metrics and user feedback post-launch and iterate on designs based onevidence.• Question requirements and propose scoping alternatives when needed, withsupport from senior designers.• Build deep domain expertise in at least one core area while developing workingknowledge of adjacent domains.• Begin pairing with and supporting more junior designers on the team.AI Design Competency• Applies AI tools independently across the design process throughout research,ideation, prototyping, and documentation.• Designs features powered by AI while keeping the human in the loop andaccounting for uncertainty and confidence.• Translates complex system behaviour like predictions, recommendations,classifications into intuitive, digestible interfaces.• Begins to question AI-generated outputs and design for states where the system iswrong, ambiguous, or low-confidence.• Familiar with conversational and multi-turn interaction design within structuredenterprise workflows.• Identifies opportunity areas within assigned product surfaces where AI can reducefriction or surface the right information at the right time.• Tracks AI design trends and tools and brings relevant patterns back to the team witha point of view.AI Competency – Team-Specific ModulesPlatform & Frameworks• Apply established scalable patterns for integrating AI into platform-levelcomponents.• Use AI-powered tooling to meaningfully improve personal productivity and designoutput quality.• Identify gaps in existing AI interaction models and surface them to senior designerswith proposed alternatives.Operational / Workflow Heavy• Design features that reduce cognitive load for high-frequency operational userswith growing independence.• Anticipate edge cases early: low AI confidence, ambiguous outputs, time-pressureddecisions.• Design within real-world constraints of accuracy, reliability, and operationalurgency without degrading the solution.Trustable & Ethical• Design UI states that communicate AI confidence, uncertainty, and fallback clearlyand honestly.• Contribute to the design of auditable, traceable AI-driven workflows in sensitive orhigh-stakes contexts.• Propose safe fallback states and escalation paths and articulate the rationale tocross-functional partners.Consumer Facing• Own the design of AI-powered consumer features like recommendations,assistants, guided flows for assigned surfaces.• Make AI feel simple, helpful, and non-intrusive through deliberate interaction andcontent decisions.• Reduce friction in high-stakes consumer journeys including vehicle purchase,service booking, and payments.• Balance delight with clarity and predictability across AI-powered touchpoints.Perks and Benefits• Competitive compensation with top-tier salary and meaningful equity stake.• Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, vision, and mentalwellness support.• World-class team working with talent from leading Silicon Valley companies.• Growth opportunities through L&D budget, mentorship, and exposure to complex,industry-defining challenges.• Flexible work culture supporting your best work-life integration.• Premium tools and hardware ensuring you have everything needed to excel.• On-site meals and snacks, fitness center, inspiring spaces to work, recharge, andcollaborate with fellow Tekionites.
