Pioneering Intelligence develops AI capabilities for the Flagship Pioneering ecosystem, including novel architectures of generative models, simulation, and AI reasoning systems. We unify and accelerate the AI innovation of Flagship’s integrated model of science, entrepreneurship, and capital.
The Role

We are seeking a Senior Director, Platform Experience to turn that portfolio into one platform that scientists trust and adopt. You will set the experience vision and architecture for the platform, define how scientists work with AI agents, and build the design system that teams across PI and the Flagship ecosystem ship with.
You will report to the VP of Platform for Pioneering Intelligence. You will work every day with product managers, engineers, ML researchers, computational biologists and the scientists who use PI’s tools, and you will be design’s voice to PI leadership.
This is a hands-on role. You will personally design and ship the scientific workflows that define the platform, from research and early concepts through coded prototypes, production UI and QA. You will also shape how design works inside an AI-driven development lifecycle, choosing and evolving the AI-assisted tools that connect design intent with working software.
