Championing the outer echelon of founders — before the world is ready for them.
About the role
You will partner closely with our founders, bring informed recommendations to the table, and take ownership of day-to-day design decisions so the founders can step back from detailed design oversight.

More about this role
Echelon is building the AI platform for Business Operations. Our goal is to automate the knowledge work of BizOps so one exceptional operator can deliver the leverage of an entire team, as Ramp and Rippling have done for Finance and HR.
Our platform combines passive process mining with a living ontology that maps how work happens across people, systems, documents, decisions, and outcomes. It connects structured and unstructured data trapped in fragmented, duplicative, and legacy enterprise systems, then turns that context into automated workflows and AI agents.
We are an early-stage company tackling a difficult product and technical problem at high speed. You will work directly with founders and engineers, make decisions with incomplete information, ship, and own the results. The pace, rate of change, and standards are high.
Own design at Echelon. Turn complex enterprise data and workflows into clear, polished product experiences, and establish a design direction the team can trust. We need a hands-on design leader with exceptional craft, strong product judgment, and the speed to support a growing engineering team.
