Product Manager - Frontend & Design

Role Summary As the Product Manager for Frontend and Design Platform, you sit at the intersection of UX excellence and systems engineering. You don’t just care that a button looks good; you care that the button is a robust, accessible, and reusable component that enables 50+ developers across 10+ different internal apps to build consistent experiences at speed. In this role, you will own the ComplyAdvantage Frontend and Design (Platform). You’ll be responsible for the "Lego bricks" of our platform, ensuring that whether a developer is building a high-stakes investigation dashboard or a simple settings page, the UI is intuitive, invisible, and efficient. Your work directly empowers our product squads to ship high-quality features faster, while ensuring our users - financial crime analysts - can do their jobs with total trust and zero friction. Key Responsibilities Own the Frontend Platform Roadmap: Define the strategy for our UI component library and frontend patterns, transitioning from "building pages" to "building systems." Champion Efficiency Trust: In the world of B2B compliance, "delight" means speed and accuracy. You will optimize our frontend infrastructure for analyst efficiency rather than flashy B2C animations. Drive Deep User Discovery: Regularly sit with internal and external users (analysts and compliance officers) to observe workflows and identify where UI friction hinders financial crime detection. Scale Developer Velocity: Define and monitor metrics for component adoption and developer experience (DevEx), ensuring our frontend platform reduces "time-to-market" for feature teams. Bridge Design and Engineering: Lead your squad in translating Figma prototypes into production-ready, accessible, and themeable React components (or equivalent). Systemic Prioritization : Balance the immediate needs of "Flagship" product squads with the long-term health and coherence of the global design system. Responsible for coordinating the design pipeline with Product PRD requirements and processes, ensuring design work is aligned with PRD needs. Drive the evolution of the overall UI and UX to meet the changing needs of our Clients in the advent of AI co-pilots and agents. Required Qualifications 4+ years of Product Management experience, with at least 1–2 years focused on Design Systems, Frontend Platforms, or Internal Developer Tools. B2B Experience is Essential: A proven track record of building complex, data-heavy interfaces where utility and trust are the primary goals. Systems Thinking: Demonstrated experience with Atomic Design principles and managing shared component libraries. Discovery Mastery: Expert in using tools like Pendo, Hotjar, or Figma to conduct research and validate frontend hypotheses. Technical Fluency: Ability to discuss APIs, CSS architecture, and frontend performance trade-offs with senior engineers. Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science, HCI, or Design). About You The "Lego" Builder: You think in components, not templates. You get excited about the scalability of a "Text Input" that will be used for the next five years. The Empathetic Observer: You enjoy the "detective work" of watching a user struggle with a workflow and finding the systemic UI fix that solves it for everyone. B2B over B2C: You understand that our users are professionals doing a high-stakes job. You prefer "invisible" UI that helps them find criminals over "viral" UI features. The Bridge: You can speak the language of a UI Designer on Monday and a Frontend Engineer on Tuesday, acting as the glue between aesthetic vision and technical reality. Outcome-Driven: You value adoption rates and "time-to-ship" metrics just as much as pixel-perfect execution. What Success Looks Like In 90 days: You’ve audited our existing component library, established a feedback loop with the Design and Engineering chapters, and identified the top three friction points in our current frontend workflow.
