Job Description:
What We're Building: Maestro is the value creation platform
designed exclusively for the Private Equity industry. Backed by
S&P Global Market Intelligence and Accordion, Maestro helps PE
sponsors modernize their operations and maximize value creation in
private equity–backed companies through active portfolio management
and increased collaboration with all stakeholders. The Maestro
platform serves as an essential solution for the private equity
industry – from diligence to exit. What We're Looking For: We are
looking for a lead product designer to join our growing product
team. In this role, you’ll lead the design work on challenging,
rewarding, and high-impact initiatives, and will be empowered to
use your knowledge and experience to improve how we work. You will
ensure we launch impactful features with a delightful user
experience for our customers. This role has no line management
responsibilities, but as a lead individual contributor you will be
expected to act as a model and mentor to other product designers in
the team, helping everyone learn and grow. From visualizing the
future of our end-to-end user experience, establishing a design
system, and creating wireframes and high-fidelity mock-ups, you
will level-up our product design process while ensuring inclusivity
and collaboration. You’ll also dig into insights and uncover
opportunities we didn’t see before, turning those opportunities
into thoughtful design solutions. We are especially excited about
designers who are curious about how AI is shaping product design
and are eager to explore how AI tools can support research,
ideation, prototyping, and decision-making. You keep your finger on
the pulse of best-in-class design, emerging technologies, and
industry trends to stay ahead of the curve and proactively improve
the experience. This position is based in New York City and is a
hybrid role. Candidates will need to be local to the areas, with
opportunities for remote work 3-4 days per week. What You’ll Do:
Lead the design work for strategic initiatives from beginning to
end: research, ideation, prototyping, testing, launching,
evaluating, and iterating. You’ll spend the majority of your time
directly on design work, from high-level user journey mapping and
system design through to high-fidelity UI design. Develop a deep
understanding of our users motivations, goals, jobs to be done and
the larger systems in which they operate. You’ll organize and
conduct user research and testing sessions, dig into data and
previous insights, and work closely with Product Managers.
Collaborate and create a shared understanding across the team.
You’ll communicate clearly through documentation and presentations,
explaining the rationale for your ideas and the trade-offs
involved. You’ll also get others involved by leading workshops to
explore problems, generate ideas, and hear feedback. Leverage
modern AI-enabled design and research tools where appropriate to
accelerate discovery, synthesis, and prototyping—while applying
strong design judgment and user-centered thinking. Contribute to
how Maestro thoughtfully adopts AI in the product experience by
identifying opportunities where AI can enhance usability, insights,
and value for users. Level up how we work. Whether through your
feedback and mentorship to other designers, or through process
changes and collaborating with our Head of Product, you’ll strive
to improve how we build a great product. You Have: 7 years of
experience designing complex digital products, especially within
B2B context A degree in Design (Product, Interactive, Digital,
etc.), or a related field Prior experience as a Product Designer in
enterprise software web and mobile applications Familiarity with
AI-assisted design, research, or prototyping tools (e.g.,
generative UI exploration, AI-supported research synthesis, or
prompt-driven workflows Curiosity about AI-driven product
experiences and a willingness to experiment and learn as the space
evolves Strong comfort working with data-rich or analytics-heavy
products (a plus in PE/finance contexts) Salary: $140,000 -
