Staff Product Designer, AI

We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer who is excited to design the future of teamwork at the exact moment it is being reinvented. You’ll join Asana’s AI Design team to craft the experiences where AI does real work alongside people—from agents that take on tasks and AI-recommended workflows to the enterprise controls that build trust. Many of the interaction patterns we need don’t exist yet, giving you the opportunity to invent, ship, and scale them while setting the craft bar across our AI products and platform teams.

We design the future of teamwork. Asana has a bold, ambitious mission: help humanity thrive by enabling the world’s teams to work together effortlessly. Our design team is at the heart of that mission. Asana Design is an inclusive and collaborative community made up of a diverse group of designers from different backgrounds (product, brand and content design, design operations, producers, motion design, film, copywriting). We love combining research, data insights, and peer feedback into a human-centered design process to produce designs that are core to the power of our applications. We partner with people across Asana to create our product, shape our brand, and drive greater impact through design—solving challenges, creating experiences that customers love, and taking the time to get weird and have fun along the way. We believe every designer should have the opportunity to grow and learn by utilizing their strengths and nurturing their interests.

This role is based in our San Francisco office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do and the teams with which you partner. If you're interviewing for this role, your recruiter will share more about the in-office requirements.

What you’ll achieve

• Lead the design of end-to-end experiences for Asana’s AI products, taking ambiguous, high-stakes problems from first framing to polished, shipped details.
• Define the interaction language for how people delegate to, steer, review, and trust AI in Asana—including how agents show their work, ask for input, explain their reasoning, recover from mistakes, and hand work back to people.
• Champion product excellence by raising the bar for interaction and visual craft so powerful AI capabilities feel clear, calm, and unmistakably Asana, while contributing AI-native patterns and components to our design system.
• Turn system and technical complexity into simple, dependable experiences by partnering with engineering and product to understand how models, tools, context, and permissions work, and designing for those realities.
• Treat AI as a design material by prototyping with real models, writing and refining prompts and instructions, and using real outputs and evaluations to shape what we ship.
• Build what you design using code-based prototypes to explore ideas and align partners, shipping changes to production alongside engineering when it is the fastest path.
• Design AI for multiplayer teams and enterprises by shaping the transparency, permissions, and admin controls that let organizations govern and roll out AI with confidence.
• Drive ideas across teams by connecting work across our AI products (such as AI Teammates, AI Studio, and Dash) and platform teams, bringing partners along with working prototypes, clear narratives, and a strong point of view—while elevating fellow designers through critique, pairing, and mentorship.

About you

• 8+ years of experience in product design, with a track record of leading design on complex products at a senior level
• A portfolio showcasing interaction and visual design craft alongside a track record of shipping complex work at scale
• Real-world experience designing and shipping AI products—such as agents, assistants, AI-powered automation, or generative features—including designing for model behavior, uncertainty, and failure in partnership with engineering, research, and product teams
• Fluency with system and technical complexity, demonstrating the ability to reason about data models, permissions, integrations, and LLM constraints in behaviors and systems rather than just screens and flows
• Hands-on proficiency with modern AI tools, regularly prototyping with LLMs, iterating on prompts, and using AI-assisted design and coding tools in your everyday workflow
• Proven ability to lead work that spans multiple teams and drive alignment and execution without formal authority
• Customer-centric problem solver who gets close to users, uncovers unspoken needs, and uses research and data evidence to back design decisions
