General Job Description
DealRoom is seeking a Lead Product Designer to help us discover and solve customer problems better, make our product simple and scalable, and speed up the whole team by enabling autonomy and collaboration. You’ll turn strategy into clear navigation, reusable patterns, and measurable outcomes—so teams can ship faster with confidence.

About Us
We are on a mission to disrupt M&A for good. Our software transforms how teams execute M&A and eliminates friction in the deal process, helping Corporate Development teams move faster and smarter. We’re a fast-growing, multi-product SaaS company —primarily focused on selling to financially oriented leaders in corp dev, strategy, and finance.
Core Responsibilities:
- User & customer understanding — Turn research into a clear picture of who we serve and their top jobs so priorities are obvious and scope stays tight.
- Systems thinking & information architecture — Map our users, data, and tasks. Set simple navigation and page types that scale so new features fit naturally and people find what they need fast.
- User flows & states — Design end-to-end flows, including empty/error states and recovery steps so engineers can build confidently and users don’t hit dead ends.
- Design system stewardship — Build the AI design→code practice; you focus on problem definition with Product and high-level direction while AI drafts screens. Lead Figma→code with Engineering; version, migrate, deprecate—so teams reuse, ship faster, and break less.
- Evidence-backed product sense — Start with outcomes, decide how we’ll measure them, and make the smallest change that moves the needle so we learn quickly and improve what matters (e.g., time to value, task success).
- Collaboration & influence — Bring partners in early, align on shared names and patterns, and standardize the path from marketing to product so launches feel seamless and trade-offs are clear.
