Staff User Experience Designer, Conversational AI

Be the one building AI-powered experiences where they matter most.

At Genesys, we help organizations create better customer experiences through AI-powered experience orchestration. Our platform connects people, systems, data and AI to help organizations deliver more personalized service, improve operational efficiency and build stronger customer relationships.
Help build, support and operate technology used by more than 8,000 organizations in over 100 countries – moving AI from possibility to production in real-world enterprise environments every day.
Shape how customers interact directly with AI across voice and digital experiences at Genesys. As a Staff User Experience Designer focused on Conversational AI, you will influence how AI understands, communicates, reasons, acts, recovers, and collaborates with customers as conversational systems become more generative and agentic.
You will own experience direction across complex, connected conversational AI challenges, combining deep UX expertise, conversation or service design, and rigorous user research. Your work will connect individual AI interactions to broader customer journeys, business processes, human handoffs, context, tools, policies, automation, and other AI experiences, helping customers complete meaningful tasks with greater clarity, confidence, and control.
As part of Genesys Design, a multidisciplinary organization of roughly 100 designers, researchers, educators, and operations specialists, you will partner with product managers, engineers, researchers, data scientists, AI specialists, and design leaders. You will influence strategy across teams, identify patterns that extend beyond individual products, and translate customer evidence into principles and frameworks that create more coherent experiences.
This role offers visibility across enterprise AI initiatives and the opportunity to expand your influence at the intersection of UX design, user research, conversation design, voice AI, generative AI, and agentic systems. Through hands-on leadership, mentorship, and cross-functional partnership, you will help teams make ambitious decisions with empathy, work together around shared customer outcomes, and raise the quality of conversational AI experiences across Genesys.
