Job description

Role: AI Product Builder / AI-Native Product Designer ( Lead) About Birdeye Birdeye is the leading agentic marketing platform for multi-location brands. Companies like H&R Block, Aspen Dental, and Caesars Entertainment use Birdeye to manage marketing across thousands of locations — from how they get found, to how they convert, to how they retain customers. Our platform replaces disconnected point tools with AI agents that execute work at the location level — responding to reviews, updating listings, publishing content, and driving conversions. Backed by Marc Benioff, Jerry Yang, and Accel-KKR, Birdeye was named to G2’s 2026 Best Agentic AI Products list — appearing alongside the world’s leading AI companies. We’re expanding rapidly into enterprise, with growing adoption across large, multi-location brands. About the role BirdEye is looking for a Principal AI-Native Product Designer to define and deliver the next generation of intelligent customer experiences. This is a senior individual-contributor role for a designer who can turn rapidly evolving AI capabilities into products that feel simple, trustworthy and genuinely useful. You will work across AI agents, agent-building tools, conversational experiences, automation and human-in-the-loop workflows. You will operate at both strategic and execution levels—setting the experience vision, shaping product direction, building prototypes and partnering closely with Product, Engineering, AI/ML and executive leadership. Your work will help make sophisticated AI capabilities self-service for customers, without requiring extensive onboarding or ongoing support. What you’ll do • Define the experience vision and design strategy for BirdEye’s AI-native products and agent platform. • Transform complex AI models, agent behaviors and workflows into intuitive customer experiences. • Design systems that help users create, configure, test, deploy, monitor and improve AI agents independently. • Establish interaction patterns for conversational interfaces, generative experiences, automation and human oversight. • Create journey maps, workflows, prototypes and production-ready designs. • Lead discovery and usability research with real customers, translating insights into measurable product improvements. • Design for transparency, trust, explainability, control, graceful failure and responsible AI use. • Partner with Product and Engineering from early exploration through launch and iteration. • Prototype with modern design and AI tools to evaluate ideas quickly. • Define success measures for usability, adoption, task completion, customer confidence and support reduction. • Raise the quality bar through critique, mentorship and reusable AI experience principles. • Influence senior leaders and align teams around a coherent, customer-centered product vision. Requirements What we’re looking for • 10+ years of product design experience, including significant experience leading complex enterprise or SaaS products. • A portfolio demonstrating exceptional systems thinking, interaction design and end-to-end product execution. • Experience designing AI-powered, conversational, agentic or automation-based products. • Strong understanding of generative AI capabilities and limitations, including uncertainty, hallucinations, context, feedback loops and human oversight. • Demonstrated ability to simplify technically complex products for non-technical users. • Experience conducting customer discovery, concept testing and usability studies. • Ability to move comfortably between strategy, detailed interaction design and hands-on prototyping. • Strong communication and storytelling skills, with experience influencing executives and cross-functional leaders. • Proficiency with Figma and contemporary prototyping tools. • Experience working effectively with distributed Product, Engineering and AI/ML teams. Preferred qualifications • Experience designing agent builders, copilots, workflow automation or developer platforms. • Familiarity with prompt design, model evaluation, retrieval-augmented generation and AI observability. • Experience building or evolving design systems for dynamic and generative interfaces. • Ability to create functional prototypes using code or AI-assisted development tools. • Background in customer experience, reputation management, marketing technology or adjacent B2B platforms.
