Design AI-powered experiences that transform tax and accounting workflows.

About the Role

As a Senior CX/UX Designer, your mission is to create user-facing experiences that incorporate AI, machine learning, and automation into tax and accounting workflows, with a primary focus on an AI-powered tax research and guidance experience. You will design solutions that help tax professionals ask better questions, find trusted answers faster, and confidently interpret complex and evolving tax regulations.

AI can significantly improve how professionals discover, understand, and apply tax guidance, but only if designed responsibly. This role ensures that AI-driven research and answer experiences are intuitive, transparent, compliant, and user-centric.

What Success Looks Like
