  • You'll collaborate with our product leaders to drive the product roadmap, ensuring that design efforts align with the business goals. You'll proactively identify key opportunities for innovation, helping to set the strategic direction for your team and ensuring that the most critical areas are prioritized.
  • You'll manage a team of 2-3 designers, providing mentorship, guidance, and design reviews to elevate the quality of their work. You'll foster a dynamic, engaging environment where team members can thrive.

Requirements
  • You have at least 7+ years of hands-on product design experience in technology, with extensive experience in leading and managing design teams, addressing complex design challenges, and contributing to all phases of the product life cycle.
  • You're a user advocate with a deep understanding of research methodologies, who can mentor designers and help them translate user needs and product insights into actionable design solutions.
  • You excel at working across multidisciplinary teams, navigating complex product environments, and ensuring that design efforts are aligned with broader business strategies.
  • You possess a robust online portfolio showcasing a diverse range of product design skills, with detailed case studies that demonstrate your leadership and impact.

What Sets You Apart
  • You have outstanding storytelling skills, able to articulate design decisions through compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.
