The Role
Our Purpose 

At Xero, we’re here to help you supercharge your business. We do this by automating routine tasks, surfacing actionable insights and connecting businesses with the right data, advisors and apps. When that happens, we’re not only making life better for small business, we’ll be building a stronger economy that can change the world.

Context:

Xero is on a mission to reinvent financial and business intelligence through AI, to help millions of businesses globally. AI is a top priority at Xero, and we’ve been investing heavily in this area.

Example projects include user identity and permissions, horizontal design components, chat history, preferences/privacy, user feedback, Beta opt-in/disclosures, error messages. This person will also drive the vision for strategic horizontal investments including personality, memory, visualizations, etc. This is an important role to ensure that JAX is a high quality product that’s understandable and easy to use, and to evolve the overall JAX experience.

We’re looking for someone with customer obsession, strong product and design sense, strong cross functional collaboration skills, and a hustle “move fast” mindset. Come join us as we push the boundaries of technology and reinvent financial intelligence!
