What You Will Do:

As a Senior Conversational Designer you will own the strategy, design, and continual optimization of conversational experiences that delight users and deliver measurable ROI for our clients.

• Lead the entire conversation‑design lifecycle: user research, intent modeling, dialog flow mapping, persona & tone definition, and prompt engineering for large‑language‑model (LLM) agents.
• Design omni‑channel experiences that work seamlessly across chat, voice, web widgets, mobile, and human‑assist hand‑offs.
• Own the conversation CMS and tooling—configure content directly, document processes, and coach client teams to self‑manage future updates.
• Translate design decisions into clear business outcomes, articulating trade‑offs to technical and executive stakeholders.
• Leverage analytics (NLU logs, CSAT, containment, deflection, funnel drop‑off, SQL/BI dashboards) to identify optimization opportunities and implement iterative improvements.
• Facilitate client workshops, journey‑mapping sessions, and user testing to validate hypotheses and collect feedback.
• Ensure compliance with U.S. banking regulations (Reg E, GLBA, ADA) and brand guidelines across every conversational touchpoint.
• Serve as the conduit between users, clients, and Product—channeling insights and feature requests into the roadmap for conversational and generative‑AI capabilities.
• Mentor junior designers and evangelize conversational‑AI best practices across interface.ai and the broader industry.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect conversation models (intents, entities, dialog states, UX copy, fallbacks) for 5–7 concurrent high‑value client engagements using platforms such as Voiceflow, Dialogflow, Rasa, Lex, or comparable.
• Craft and refine LLM prompts (system, user, assistant) to achieve on‑brand, compliant, and hallucination‑free responses.
• Partner with core‑banking (Jack Henry, Fiserv, FIS) and telephony/CRM teams (Genesys, SIP, CTI, Salesforce) to design end‑to‑end flows that include secure authentication and data retrieval.
• Present prototypes and QBR‑level insights to executive audiences, showcasing ROI, user‑experience gains, and roadmap recommendations.
• Demonstrate agility in responding to ad‑hoc client requests and evolving project scopes while maintaining strategic focus.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years designing conversational experiences (chatbots, IVRs, virtual assistants, or generative‑AI agents) in SaaS, FinTech, or other regulated industries.
• Mastery of conversation‑design principles, UX writing, micro‑copy, and information architecture.
• Hands‑on expertise with NLU/NLP platforms, annotation processes, and prompt engineering for LLMs.
• Ability to interpret intent‑confusion matrices, funnel metrics, and BI dashboards to drive design decisions.
• Proven success leading client‑facing projects, running workshops, and navigating challenging conversations to achieve win‑win outcomes.
• Strong understanding of banking and payments workflows, security considerations, and regulatory requirements.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail, and a passion for storytelling.
• Growth mindset, high accountability, and the ability to balance strategic mandates with operational tasks across multiple projects.

Bonus Skills:

• Experience with ticketing tools (Jira Service Desk, Zendesk, GitLab) and CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot).
• Familiarity with voice‑specific analytics (e.g., barge‑in rates) and multimodal design patterns.
• Background working within or in partnership with a bank or credit union.
