<p><h4>Description</h4>
<p><strong>About Lucidya</strong><br>
Lucidya is an AI-native platform for customer experience (CX) intelligence that manages entire customer lifecycles autonomously, from initial engagement through retention and growth.</p>
<p>Unlike platforms that only surface insights and leave the action to you, Lucidya completes the loop with proprietary NLU capabilities developed entirely in-house and trained on millions of multilingual conversations, equipping marketing, support, CX, and research teams to deliver personalized experiences that drive measurable improvements in customer satisfaction, retention, and lifetime value.</p>
<p>Today, leading organizations across banking, insurance, healthcare, hospitality, and the public sector rely on Lucidya to understand their customers better and act faster. As we continue investing in Agentic AI, design plays a critical role in determining whether our technology feels powerful, trustworthy, and intuitive - or complex and overwhelming.</p>
<h4>Why this role matters</h4>
<p>We're entering a new phase of product development where AI doesn't simply provide recommendations - it takes action.</p>
<p>Our Agentic AI capabilities are designed to monitor signals, surface opportunities, automate workflows, and help teams make better decisions faster. The technology is only one part of the challenge. The bigger challenge is designing experiences that help users trust AI enough to delegate work to it without feeling like they've lost control.</p>
<p>As a Senior Product Designer, you'll help define what that future looks like.</p>
<p>You'll shape how enterprise users interact with AI agents, how they understand decisions made on their behalf, and how they remain confident when AI operates in the background. Your work will directly influence product adoption, customer trust, and the speed at which our customers realize value from our platform.</p>
<p>This is a role for someone who wants to work on difficult, meaningful design problems and leave a visible mark on the product, the design culture, and the future of AI-powered software.</p>
<h4>What you'll do</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Design experiences that make AI feel trustworthy</strong><br>
You'll own the end-to-end experience for key Agentic AI initiatives, helping users understand what AI is doing, why it's doing it, and when they should intervene. Success means customers feel empowered by AI rather than uncertain about it.</li>
<li><strong>Turn complex problems into intuitive workflows</strong><br>
Agentic systems introduce new UX challenges around autonomy, confidence, transparency, and control. You'll simplify these complexities into experiences that feel natural and easy to navigate, even when the underlying technology is sophisticated.</li>
<li><strong>Raise the quality bar across the product</strong><br>
You'll contribute polished, thoughtful design work that improves the overall quality of the platform. From information architecture to visual details, you'll help ensure Lucidya feels cohesive, modern, and enterprise-grade.</li>
<li><strong>Help customers adopt AI faster</strong><br>
The best AI capabilities create no value if users don't trust them enough to use them. You'll design onboarding, education, feedback loops, and interaction patterns that help customers move from curiosity to confidence.</li>
<li><strong>Design for Arabic-first enterprise users</strong><br>
You'll create experiences that work naturally across both Arabic and English environments, ensuring RTL experiences, localized content, and cultural expectations are considered from the beginning rather than treated as an afterthought.</li>
<li><strong>Build systems, not just screens</strong><br>
You'll contribute reusable patterns, components, and interaction models that can scale across multiple products and use cases. We value designers who solve problems at the platform level rather than repeatedly solving the same problem in different places.</li>
<li><strong>Use research to inform decisions</strong><br>
You'll spend time understanding customers, testing assumptions, validating solutions, and learning from real user behavior. We care about evidence and outcomes more than opinions.</li>
<li><strong>Elevate the people around you</strong><br>
We believe great design teams improve together. You'll participate in critiques, mentor other designers, share your thinking openly, and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.</li>
</ul>
<h4>The challenges you'll tackle</h4>
<p>Some of the questions you'll be helping us answer include:</p>
<ul>
<li>How do users remain in control when AI can act independently?</li>
<li>When should an AI agent ask for approval versus acting autonomously?</li>
<li>How do we communicate uncertainty, confidence, and reasoning without overwhelming users?</li>
<li>How do we design graceful recovery experiences when AI gets things wrong?</li>
<li>How do we reduce cognitive load instead of simply moving it elsewhere?</li>
<li>How do we build trust with enterprise users who may be delegating increasingly important decisions to AI?</li>
<li>How do we create AI experiences that feel equally natural in Arabic and English?</li>
</ul>
<p>These are not solved problems. You'll help define the answers.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<h4>Who you are</h4>
<p>You're a product designer who enjoys solving difficult problems and cares deeply about the people using your work.</p>
<p>You likely bring:</p>
<ul>
<li>5+ years of experience designing B2B SaaS or enterprise software products.</li>
<li>A portfolio that demonstrates strong product thinking, not just attractive interfaces. We want to understand how you approached problems, evaluated trade-offs, and delivered outcomes.</li>
<li>Strong UX and interaction design skills. You naturally think through workflows, states, edge cases, and user behavior.</li>
<li>Excellent visual design craft. You care about hierarchy, typography, spacing, consistency, and details that make products feel polished.</li>
<li>Advanced proficiency with Figma, including component systems, prototyping, and scalable design practices.</li>
<li>Experience conducting or contributing meaningfully to user research and usability testing.</li>
<li>The ability to collaborate effectively with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders without relying on formal authority.</li>
<li>Comfort operating in ambiguity. You can take loosely defined challenges and create clarity, structure, and momentum.</li>
<li>Strong communication skills. You can explain design decisions in a way that makes sense to technical and non-technical audiences alike.</li>
</ul>
<p>Beyond experience, you'll thrive here if:</p>
<ul>
<li>You're curious and continuously learning.</li>
<li>You seek feedback and give it constructively.</li>
<li>You care more about solving customer problems than protecting your ideas.</li>
<li>You're comfortable taking ownership and moving work forward without waiting for perfect instructions.</li>
<li>You enjoy collaborating with people who challenge your thinking and raise your standards.</li>
<li>You measure success by the impact your work creates, not just the volume of work produced.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Bonus points</h4>
<p>While not required, we'd be particularly excited if you have experience with:</p>
<ul>
<li>AI products, copilots, agents, or autonomous systems.</li>
<li>Designing experiences that communicate AI confidence, reasoning, and uncertainty.</li>
<li>RTL and Arabic-first product design.</li>
<li>Design systems and platform-scale design thinking.</li>
<li>Responsible AI, explainability, or AI ethics principles.</li>
<li>SaaS businesses serving enterprise customers in the Middle East.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What you can expect from us</h4>
<p>At Lucidya, designers are not here to make screens look better after decisions have already been made.</p>
<p>You'll be involved early in problem-solving, have meaningful influence on product direction, and work alongside teams that genuinely value design as a strategic function.</p>
<p>You'll have the opportunity to work on emerging AI challenges, contribute to products used by leading enterprises across the region, and help shape how people interact with AI in their daily work.</p>
<h4>What the hiring process will look like</h4>
<ol>
<li>Introductory conversation</li>
<li>Hiring manager interview</li>
<li>Practical design exercise - case study<br>
A take-home or live design challenge relevant to the kinds of problems you'll solve at Lucidya, followed by a discussion of your approach and reasoning.</li>
<li>Final conversations</li>
<li>Culture fit / offer stage</li>
</ol></p><p></p>
<p><h4>About Lucidya<\/h4>\n<p>Lucidya is an AI-native platform for customer experience (CX) intelligence that helps organizations understand, engage, and retain customers at scale.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike traditional platforms that stop at reporting and dashboards, Lucidya combines proprietary AI, deep language understanding, and autonomous workflows to help organizations move from insight to action. Our technology is built in-house and trained on millions of multilingual customer conversations, enabling brands across the MENA region to make better decisions, deliver better experiences, and build stronger customer relationships.<\/p>\n<p>As AI reshapes how businesses operate, we're building products that make customer understanding faster, more accurate, and more actionable than ever before.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Why this role matters<\/h4>\n<p>Most organizations today are overwhelmed with customer data.<\/p>\n<p>Conversations are happening across social media, surveys, reviews, support tickets, messaging channels, and countless other touchpoints. The challenge isn't collecting the data anymore. It's knowing what matters and what to do next.<\/p>\n<p>The Monitoring & Research domain sits at the center of that challenge.<\/p>\n<p>This is where customers come to understand public perception, identify emerging trends, monitor competitors, measure customer sentiment, and uncover the insights that drive business decisions. It is one of the most strategically important parts of Lucidya's platform and one of the biggest opportunities for innovation as AI transforms how research and customer intelligence are done.<\/p>\n<p>As Senior Product Manager, you'll be responsible for shaping how thousands of users discover, trust, and act on insights generated from millions of customer conversations.<\/p>\n<p>You'll be joining a team that values ownership over hierarchy, customer outcomes over feature output, and learning over certainty. We move quickly, challenge assumptions, and expect product leaders to bring strong opinions while remaining open to changing their minds when the evidence says otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>If you're excited by complex customer problems, AI-powered products, and the opportunity to define the future of customer intelligence in a region where world-class solutions are still emerging, this role will give you significant room to make an impact.<\/p>\n\n<h4>What you'll do<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Own the future of Monitoring & Research at Lucidya<\/strong><br>\nYou'll define the vision, strategy, and roadmap across three key product areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Social Listening<\/li>\n<li>Managed Channels Analytics<\/li>\n<li>Voice of Customer (VoC)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your responsibility isn't simply delivering features. It's ensuring customers can confidently answer critical business questions about their customers, markets, competitors, and brand performance.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Turn customer signals into decisions<\/strong><br>\nYou'll spend significant time understanding how customers currently make decisions, where they struggle to find trustworthy insights, and what prevents them from taking action.<\/p>\n<p>You'll use those learnings to build products that help customers move beyond reporting and toward clear recommendations, meaningful insights, and measurable business outcomes.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Lead discovery before delivery<\/strong><br>\nYou'll challenge assumptions, validate problems, and ensure we're solving issues that matter before resources are committed.<\/p>\n<p>You'll regularly engage customers, prospects, Customer Success teams, and internal stakeholders to uncover opportunities and validate product direction.<\/p>\n<p>Success in this role means building the right thing, not simply building things quickly.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Raise the quality bar for AI-powered insights<\/strong><br>\nAs AI becomes increasingly central to our platform, you'll help define what \"trustworthy AI\" means in practice.<\/p>\n<p>You'll work closely with AI, Data, Design, and Engineering teams to improve:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Insight accuracy<\/li>\n<li>Sentiment quality<\/li>\n<li>Explainability<\/li>\n<li>Relevance<\/li>\n<li>Customer trust<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You'll constantly ask whether an insight is genuinely useful, not just technically impressive.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Make difficult prioritization decisions<\/strong><br>\nNot every good idea belongs on the roadmap.<\/p>\n<p>You'll evaluate opportunities using customer feedback, product data, market insights, commercial priorities, and strategic impact.<\/p>\n<p>You'll make trade-offs transparently and help the organization understand why certain bets are worth making while others are not.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Drive product adoption and business impact<\/strong><br>\nYou'll closely monitor customer behavior, adoption patterns, retention drivers, churn signals, and feedback loops.<\/p>\n<p>You'll use those insights to continuously improve the product and ensure the work being delivered creates measurable value for both customers and the business.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Be a leader beyond product<\/strong><br>\nYou'll collaborate across Engineering, Design, AI, Customer Success, Sales, Marketing, and Leadership teams.<\/p>\n<p>You'll help create alignment, provide clarity during ambiguity, and contribute to building a culture where teams are empowered to solve problems rather than simply execute requirements.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Requirements<\/h4>\n<h4>Who you are<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>You have strong product fundamentals<br>\nYou have at least 5 years of product management experience, ideally within B2B SaaS environments.<br>\nYou know how to take a problem from discovery through validation, delivery, measurement, and iteration.<br>\nYou understand that product management is ultimately about creating customer and business value, not managing backlogs.<\/li>\n<li>You simplify complexity<br>\nYou're comfortable working with large datasets, analytics platforms, AI-powered products, or technically

perfect data.<br>\nYou can balance analysis with action, make informed decisions under uncertainty, and adapt when new information becomes available.<\/li>\n<li>You communicate with clarity<br>\nYou can explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences and customer problems to technical teams.<br>\nYou build alignment through clear thinking, structured communication, and transparency.<\/li>\n<li>You care about outcomes<br>\nYou measure success by customer adoption, customer value, and business impact rather than the number of features released.<br>\nYou're willing to challenge existing thinking when you believe there's a better way to solve a problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Bonus points if you have<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Experience with social listening, media monitoring,

<h4>About mantis collection:</h4>
<p>Mantis is a boutique hospitality group that was founded by conservationist Adrian Gardiner in 2000, with its main focus predominantly in Africa and the Middle East. Mantis grew from Adrian’s vision to restore and rewild degraded farmland which he developed into a widely-acclaimed private game reserve. This was the first private game reserve in the Eastern Cape and the beginning of eco-tourism in a poverty-stricken province that had few opportunities outside of commercial farming. Adrian and the Mantis team successfully created a place where man and nature could co-exist sustainably. From this initial success, the Mantis model was then developed worldwide, understanding that consumers could use the Mantis portfolio as a mark of quality, consistency and character. Today the diverse portfolio of handpicked properties links up to create travel journeys, which offer guests the opportunity to experience the essence of the location in a setting of tailored luxury. Rooted in conservation, Mantis pursues sustainable business practices and develops tourism products that are respectful of the environment and communities in which they operate.</p>
