Product Design Lead, Enterprise

Founded in 2019, Glean is an innovative AI-powered knowledge management platform designed to help organizations quickly find, organize, and share information across their teams. By integrating seamlessly with tools like Google Drive, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, Glean ensures employees can access the right knowledge at the right time, boosting productivity and collaboration. The company's cutting-edge AI technology simplifies knowledge discovery, making it faster and more efficient for teams to leverage their collective intelligence.

Glean was born from Founder & CEO Arvind Jain's deep understanding of the challenges employees face in finding and understanding information at work. Seeing firsthand how fragmented knowledge and sprawling SaaS tools made it difficult to stay productive, he set out to build a better way - an AI-powered enterprise search platform that helps people quickly and intuitively access the information they need. Since then, Glean has evolved into the leading Work AI platform, combining enterprise-grade search, an AI assistant, and powerful application- and agent-building capabilities to fundamentally redefine how employees work.

About the Role

Glean is seeking a highly experienced principal designer to own our Enterprise product suite — the administrative controls, security features, compliance tools, and deployment infrastructure that enable Fortune 500 companies to confidently adopt AI at scale. You'll design the systems that IT administrators, security teams, and compliance officers use to govern AI usage, manage permissions, monitor activity, and ensure data protection across thousands of employees.

As Product Design Lead for Enterprise, you'll bring deep B2B SaaS expertise and a sophisticated understanding of enterprise requirements. This role requires someone who can design complex admin experiences that are both powerful and easy to use.

Build executive-facing experiences including analytics dashboards that surface AI adoption patterns and ROI, plus compelling demos that resonate with CIOs, CISOs, and IT decision-makers.

Drive rapid enterprise adoption through scalable onboarding flows for organizations with tens of thousands of employees, reducing time-to-value and accelerating deployment.
