Olena Z. — Product Manager

I design for outcomes, not aesthetics—then make it beautiful anyway. For 10+ years I’ve turned complex (in most cases heavily regulated) workflows into products people can actually use. In enterprise B2B SaaS across healthcare/clinical trials and fintech (payroll, payments, billing), I align PM, Engineering, and Data, move from research to strategy to delivery, and leave clear, measurable results. What changes when I land on a problem: - A critical financial workflow now takes >60% less manual effort - A thoughtful platform integration saved ~$750k/year in subscription costs - Design system governance cut delivery time by 25–30% across squads. How I work: - Start with people and systems: mixed-methods research, information architecture, desktop product design, accessibility as a habit. - Scale with design systems: tokens, components, contribution model, docs in Zeroheight. - Prove it: experiment cadence, tests, decisions tied to OKRs. - Build teams: led up to 9 designers; authored a competency matrix adopted by a 20+ org; coach, hire, and create space for great work. - Use AI where it helps and where policy allows—enterprise-ready, security-first. What makes me different: I’m multidisciplinary with focus. Trained in design with a strong visual foundation, I can illustrate, prototype, and create net-new concepts—then ruthlessly shape them to the product goal. I mentor, volunteer, and teach because strong teams compound impact. I also paint large-format works; that practice keeps my sense of composition, contrast, and narrative sharp. No single “signature style”—I choose the right one for the problem. Focus areas & tools: Design leadership, product strategy, stakeholder alignment, design systems, IA, interaction, responsive UI/UX, service design, design thinking, experimentation. Figma, FigJam, Framer, Zeroheight, Jira/Confluence. What I’m looking for: Lead Product Designer, Design Manager, or Head-of-Design track in top European product companies (remote or hybrid). Give me complex, high-stakes problems; I’ll give you clarity, velocity, and visible business value.
