Lead Product Designer

AirOps is the first end-to-end content engineering platform built for the AI era. In a world where discovery is shifting from traditional search to AI-driven platforms, we help brands get found—and stay found. We are currently in a phase of hyper-growth, having 5x’d our revenue in the last year by helping marketing teams at Ramp, Chime, Carta, and Rippling turn content quality into a durable competitive advantage.

Our platform equips marketers to navigate the new discovery landscape, prioritize high-impact opportunities, and create accurate, on-brand content that earns citations from AI and trust from humans. Backed by Greylock, Unusual Ventures, Wing VC, and Founder Collective, we are building the intelligent systems that will empower the next generation of marketing leaders. AirOps is headquartered in San Francisco, New York and Montevideo.

We're looking for a Lead Product Designer who's excited about shaping the future of AI Search. In this role, you'll build products that help brands succeed as AI agents become the main way people discover them. You'll own large portions of our platform experience - from search visibility tools to last-mile editing experiences - that are fundamentally changing how marketing teams drive revenue in the AI era.

You thrive on moving fast while tackling complex information architecture challenges. You'll prototype rapidly using tools like Cursor and Figma Make, working directly with content and marketing teams to build intuitive and delightful experiences.
