Senior Product Designer (Priv Controls)

Bitwarden is looking for a Senior Product Designer to join the Bitwarden Center of Excellence (COE) team and drive design for its Privileged Access Management (PAM) product. PAM is Bitwarden's offering for securing, monitoring, and controlling access to an organization's most sensitive infrastructure and systems — used by security, IT, and DevOps teams to vault privileged credentials, broker and record privileged sessions, enforce just-in-time access, and maintain audit-ready visibility over standing and elevated access.

This role is primarily for someone who excels at designing technical, workflow-driven products for security and infrastructure audiences. The core design surfaces are the PAM web app and admin console, including privileged account and credential vaulting, access approval and just-in-time elevation workflows, session brokering and recording, discovery of privileged accounts across environments, and audit/compliance reporting. The core design challenge is making high-stakes access control and monitoring workflows feel clear, trustworthy, and efficient for security practitioners who expect precision, auditability, and speed.

This is not primarily a consumer product, mobile, or end-user-facing enterprise dashboard role.

What You Will Do

• Own end-to-end design for the PAM product: privileged account and credential vaulting, access approval and just-in-time elevation workflows, session brokering and session recording/monitoring, privileged account discovery, and audit/compliance reporting.
• Analyze product feedback from security, IT, and infrastructure users, track market trends in privileged access management and identity security, and generate, test, and iterate on design concepts for new and existing experiences.
• Create user flows, prototypes, and production-ready designs for developer and engineering execution.
• Design and prototype security-centric solutions that work across the PAM web app, admin console, and integration surfaces (SSO, directory services, SIEM).
• Conduct and moderate customer and user feedback sessions, surveys, and usability engagements with technical, security-focused audiences.
• Collaborate and facilitate critique sessions with Product Managers for a diverse stakeholder audience.
• Partner with roles and teams across the company — including the broader Bitwarden Center of Excellence — to identify opportunities for continuous UX improvement across the PAM surface.
• Contribute to and evolve the Bitwarden design system as the PAM product grows.

WHAT YOU BRING TO BITWARDEN

• 5+ years of experience in product design or equivalent experience 
• Ability to communicate designs through sketches, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and prototypes
• Expertise in Figma, Claude, Chat GPT, V0, Adobe XD, GitHub, or other design and dev tools (we primarily use Figma paired with other generative tools)
• Experience in planning and executing comprehensive user research and testing cycles
• Familiarity with prompt writing for AI tools
• Technical design expertise: knowledgeable of front-end engineering practices, designing systems, and applying systems thinking
• Collaborative and adaptable mindset
• Demonstrated experience in influencing leadership regarding design direction by using data and user feedback to justify decisions
• Openness and authenticity, paired with strong communication skills
