tl;dr: We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to shape new product areas focused on core video creation capabilities.
Welcome to the Video-First World
From your everyday PowerPoint presentations to Hollywood movies, AI is transforming the way we create and consume content. Today, people want to watch and listen, not read—both at home and at work.
Despite the clear preference for video, communication and knowledge sharing in the business environment are still dominated by text, largely because high-quality video production remains complex and challenging to scale—until now…

About the Role
As a Senior Product Designer at Synthesia, you’ll have the opportunity to shape and define new product areas focused on our core video creation capabilities.
What You’ll Be Working On
We're advancing the frontiers of video creation. As a Senior Product Designer, you'll work on reimagining the tools and workflows that empower users to create high-quality videos with ease.
This role sits at the intersection of interaction design, systems thinking, and bleeding-edge AI. You’ll be part of the core team defining how our users design, deploy, and experience video creation—whether that’s for sales, training, or support.

- Define new interaction paradigms for video creation tools, including dynamic branching, knowledge integration, and visual storytelling.
- Extend (or challenge) existing patterns in our editor to support new flows like decision trees, prompt design, and scene logic.
- Shape foundational UX questions like: how do you blend scripted video with interactivity?
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience designing end-to-end experiences for SaaS tools or complex web products.
- A strong portfolio that demonstrates systems thinking, interaction design, and an ability to bring clarity to ambiguous problem spaces.
- Experience designing creation tools or platforms—you know how to balance power with usability, and make sophisticated tools feel intuitive.
- Strong product intuition and a collaborative spirit. You’re comfortable proposing bold ideas and iterating quickly with PMs and engineers.
- A deep empathy for users and a drive to make novel technologies feel approachable and useful.
- A bias toward action—we move fast, test ideas quickly, and ship iteratively.
Designers who bring the following will stand out:
- Experience with AI/LLM-powered interfaces or conversational UI
- Interest in motion design and interactive prototyping
- Experience building design systems or working with visual branching logic
