About the job Lead Product Designer

Role Overview

As Lead Product Designer, you will own design for Adalat AIs flagship product and help define the design vision across our growing product suite. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who has led small to mid-sized design teams in fast-moving environments and enjoys product ownership.

Youll work closely with the founders to define product vision, and with our on-ground legal partnerships team to embed user-first, research-driven practices across the design process.

This role is less about pixel-perfect mobile UI and more about systems thinking, product strategy, team leadership, and taste.

Key Responsibilities

Product Leadership & Ownership

• Own problem definition and solution design for Adalat AIs core product areas (Judges Chamber and Live Court)
• Partner with founders to shape roadmap decisions, trade-offs, and long-term product and design vision
• Lead major feature revamps and workflow improvements
• Design for unique constraints of Indian Judiciary: multilingual usage, varying digital literacy, legacy legal processes

Design & Team Leadership

• Design with and for AI with focus on human-in-the-loop workflows, explainability, and trust in AI-assisted features
• Lead, mentor and hire junior designers for our growing design team
• Set a high bar for craft, critique, and user-first decision-making
• Establish scalable design processes while staying lightweight and execution-focused

Systems, Research & Scale

• Spearhead Adalat AIs design system
• Lead AI-assisted design initiatives to improve velocity and consistency
• Build a strong user research and voice of customer pipeline with the partnerships team to ground decisions in real courtroom insights

Qualifications

• 7+ years of product design experience, with 1–2+ years leading designers
• Experience owning complex B2B or workflow-heavy products
• Strong systems thinking and experience building or scaling design systems
• Comfortable working directly with founders and senior stakeholders
• Portfolio showing product thinking, shipped work, and leadership impact

Nice to have

Familiarity with legal-tech or gov-tech, experience with AI-driven audio-first products

What You Will Achieve in a Year

• Overhaul design of our voice-first text editor
• Launch multiple text-based AI-powered tools for judiciary
• Build and scale our design system to serve 3000+ judges and law staff
• Design for one of Indias most complex and impactful systems: the judiciary
• Shape both our flagship product and the design culture behind it
• High ownership, real-world impact, and room to define how design operates at scale
