Founding lead Product Designer

Raison is on a mission to provide humans with better skills so they can feel confident and have more opportunities in the AI era. We help companies make sure 100% their teams master AI directly in the flow of work (Teams Slack) so that AI knowledge spreads across the organization instead of pooling in a handful of champions.

We are passionate entrepreneurs believing that the ongoing AI revolution should be shared by all employees; and that the future of corporate interactions should not be restricted to private human-machine chats. Raison is capturing what champions create with AI turning it into shared governed skills and propagating them so everyone feels capable and empowered; acting as a powerful lever to accelerate the AI transformation of corporates.

We recently raised 2m from a top French VC BPI and a selection of high-profile business angels who believe AI mastery is the highest-leverage application of AI inside companies.

User Research & Discovery

• Own field research: contextual inquiry user interviews and observation of how teams actually work with AI and where it breaks.
• Build and maintain a deep understanding of our core users individual contributors champions managers and corporate buyers and the context they operate in.
• Synthesize messy field data into sharp actionable insight: jobs-to-be-done adoption blockers and the conditions under which a skill transfers between people.
• Establish a continuous discovery habit so research is a foundational reflex and champion the users perspective in every product decision.

Product & Experience Design

• What our experts do by hand today is the spec for what the product must automate tomorrow. Your job is to watch that closely enough to design it.
• Design the surfaces: the client dashboard execs present to their board the internal console our experts use to run a dozen live communities at once and the conversations themselves.
• Most of our product lives inside someone elses client. You are designing in Teams and Slack not screens we control no onboarding no landing page no second chance. A four-minute message to an accountant who has never opened Copilot is the hardest design problem we have.
• Work mostly on enterprise and partly on higher education where we also have live deployments. Two audiences two vocabularies one product: part of your job is deciding what stays shared and what has to differ so we build one coherent system rather than two half-products.
• Work hand-in-hand with our AI product engineers so your field learnings ship as features then get re-tested at the next pilot.
• Own the design system: components tokens patterns and the copy that goes with them.

• 48 years in product design UX design or a hybrid design-research role ideally on complex multi-user B2B products.
• A strong portfolio that shows both craft and thinking: we want to see how you operated not just what shipped.
• A skilled researcher who can design a study run it in the wild and turn qualitative chaos into clear direction.
• Experience designing inside environments you dont control - a messaging client an extension an embedded product - or a clear appetite for it.
• Comfortable designing for AI-driven and adaptive experiences where the interface has to handle uncertainty personalization and non-linear workflows.
• Excellent visual and interaction design skills: typography spacing motion and the small details that build trust.
• Autonomous and opinionated but you hold your opinions loosely when the evidence says otherwise.
• Genuine curiosity about AI and how people actually learn at work.
• Fluent in French and English spoken and written. Spanish is a plus.
• You want the ownership equity and career-defining challenge that only comes from being early.
• Bonus: deeply passionate about something outside of work.

• A founding role with equity and direct influence on company strategy.

• Competitive salary benchmarked to the Paris startup ecosystem.

• Flexibility: remote-friendly with regular in-person collaboration in Paris and an office in Montmartre with a beautiful Sacré-Coeur view.

• A front-row seat to one of the most important shifts in how humans learn.

• A small sharp team that ships fast and trusts each other to figure things out.

• If you care deeply about making powerful tools feel human and want to shape a product from the very beginning this is your role. Apply now and help us build the future of learning.

• Raison is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and are committed to building a diverse inclusive team.
