Principal Product Designer

About the role

Inception42, a G42 company, is looking for a hands-on Principal Product Designer to lead design work and manage a design pod across its AI-native portfolio: personal AI agents, executive intelligence, agentic workflows, governance platforms and domain-specific solutions. The role owns design from discovery through delivery, sets the craft bar and design systems, and works at the boundary of design, product and applied AI.

Key responsibilities

• Define the product design vision, experience principles and quality bar across the portfolio, and turn abstract vision into concrete, shipped products.
• Partner with Product, Engineering and Science teams on strategy, roadmaps and use cases derived from business and government requirements.
• Lead discovery, UX research, journey mapping, interaction design, prototyping, usability tests and production, running several projects at once.
• Design AI-native experiences for agents, copilots, multi-agent systems, dashboards and conversational interfaces, making AI capabilities and their limits legible.
• Help define evaluation rubrics, test sets and human review loops, and set success metrics such as adoption, task success and time-to-value.
• Establish and govern scalable design systems across web, mobile, conversational, voice and workflows, with English and Arabic support and right-to-left layout.
• Design in line with sovereign and responsible-AI expectations: disclosure, privacy, data residency, auditability and human-in-the-loop control.
• Recruit, mentor and lead product designers, including contractors, and present design work to leadership, government stakeholders and customers.

Required profile

• 10+ years of product design experience, including managing teams for major design initiatives.
• Online portfolio showing end-to-end product ownership, interaction design, visual craft and measurable outcomes.
• Experience with enterprise, SaaS, workflow, operational or data-rich products and with life-cycle design projects.
• Expertise in user research, information architecture, prototyping, usability testing and design systems.

Required skills

• Expert proficiency in Figma and other design and prototyping tools.
• Information architecture and interaction design.
