For over 20 years, Smartsheet has empowered teams to manage work seamlessly and scale solutions smarter. Now, in our most ambitious chapter yet, we are uniting human teams with AI agents. By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking. That is magic at work, and it’s what we show up for every day.
As VP of User Experience and Design Innovation, you will lead a multi-disciplinary organization spanning UX research, design systems, content and globalization, and AI-driven software delivery, alongside a team of design leaders driving product design across the platform. You have a track record of making the people around you better — you drive quality and efficiency by establishing process, developing talent, and elevating your team to accomplish more than they could without you. You see yourself as a team captain more than a coach.
You are an AI-forward leader. You don't just support AI adoption — you own it. You will define and drive the strategy for bringing AI into every function you lead: accelerating research synthesis, scaling design systems, automating content and localization, and modernizing the software development lifecycle through AI-assisted workflows.
Your Organization includes Product Design, User Experience Research, Globalization & Content and Design Systems.
You report to our Chief Product and Technology Officer, and may work remotely from anywhere in the US where Smartsheet is a registered employer.
