About Axiamatic

Axiamatic is the AI-native control plane for enterprise transformation. Large transformation programs - ERP migrations, CRM rollouts, enterprise-wide operating model changes - have for decades exceeded what any human team can coordinate. Roughly 70% of these multi-year, multi-hundred-million-dollar initiatives fall short of expectations. Misalignments and drift build up quietly, and by the time they surface, the cost is already in. 

We're changing that. Axiamatic builds a Living Context Graph - a continuously updated digital twin of a customer's transformation, ingesting structured and unstructured signals from 250+ enterprise systems including SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Jira, Azure DevOps, Teams, Slack, and more. On top of it, our Transformation Agents detect translation loss, cross-stream drift, and change resistance as they form, and our Playbooks route remediation to the right stakeholder in the tools they already use.

We came out of stealth in March 2026 with $54M from Greylock and Bessemer. Our founders Rajiv Gupta and Kaushik Narayan have done this before - most recently at Skyhigh Networks (acquired by McAfee). Our early customers include the Heico Company and Marmon (a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary), and we're working with the world's largest systems integrators.

About the role

We're looking for a Head of Design to define what an entirely new category of enterprise software should feel like. 

Enterprise transformations generate enormous complexity: thousands of requirements, decisions, risks, dependencies, plans, artifacts, stakeholders, and signals spread across dozens of systems. Axiamatic brings that context together and uses AI to help people understand what is happening, what matters, and what they should do next.

Your job is to make that complexity feel simple.

You'll own the design vision and experience across Axiamatic, working closely with Product, Engineering, our founders, and customers. You'll establish the design function and build the team as we scale, while remaining deeply hands-on with the product.

This is a player-coach role for someone who can move between defining the product experience, designing critical workflows, reviewing work with designers and engineers, talking to customers, and setting the design standards for the company.



Requirements

What you'll bring

  • 8–12+ years of product design experience, ideally in complex enterprise B2B software.
  • 2+ years leading and managing designers, including hiring and developing teams.
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional product, interaction, and systems design.
  • Experience taking complex products or workflows from 0→1.
  • Strong product judgment and the ability to turn ambiguous, data-rich problems into simple experiences.
  • Excellent customer, communication, and storytelling skills.
  • A hands-on, low-ego leadership style and comfort operating at startup speed.

What you'll do

  • Own the product design vision. Define how Axiamatic should work and feel across the platform.
  • Turn complexity into clarity. Design experiences that make complex transformation data, risks, decisions, and AI-generated insights understandable and actionable.
  • Shape the AI-native experience. Define how users interact with Transformation Agents, the Living Context Graph, recommendations, evidence, and Playbooks.
  • Stay hands-on. Personally lead design for important 0→1 product experiences, from early concepts through production. 
  • Build and lead the design team. Hire, coach, and develop exceptional designers as the company scales. 
  • Establish the design system and quality bar. Create the principles, patterns, and systems that enable a coherent product experience. 
  • Work directly with customers. Learn how executives, PMOs, consultants, and delivery teams work and translate those insights into better products. 
  • Partner deeply with Product and Engineering. Work from problem definition through implementation, making thoughtful tradeoffs and ensuring quality through launch.

Even better

  • Experience designing AI-native, agentic, or LLM-powered products.
  • Experience with analytics, workflow, data, or other complex enterprise platforms.
  • Experience designing for both executive and operational personas.
  • Experience with complex data visualization, graphs, or decision-support systems.
