As a Staff Product Designer, AI Transformation (Forward Deployment), who embeds directly with clients to design, customize, and deploy software, you will bridge the gap between product capability and real-world user needs through rapid prototyping. You'll define and drive experience-led strategies across ServiceNow deployments, working directly with users, forward-deployed engineers, and architects to shape transformative digital experiences that drive adoption and deployment success. During on-site visits, you'll convert complex requirements into functional UI/UX and technical workflows. This role is ideal for designers who thrive at the intersection of strategic vision and hands-on execution.
