About the role
Part of this role is defining what great product design looks like in an AI-native company: which problems AI owns, where human judgment still wins, and how a team works when the tools and workflows shift often. You'll manage a growing team of product designers across product pods, partnering closely with the VP of Design to set direction, remove roadblocks, and raise the quality and velocity of design across the platform. If you're energized by building teams, shaping design culture, and figuring out what design becomes in this next era, we want to hear from you.
What you'll bring
- 8+ years of product design experience, with 3–5 years managing other designers
- Strong portfolio demonstrating design leadership across complex, multi-surface product environments with clear impact on users and business outcomes.
- Proven ability to develop designers at different career stages and build team culture intentionally.
- Deep craft sensibility.
- You can define what "great" looks like across interaction design, visual design, and design systems, and hold that bar across a team.
- Experience working closely with Product and Engineering leadership as a strategic partner, influencing roadmap and product direction through design.
- Strong judgment on prioritization.
- You know when to go deep, when to delegate, and how to focus a team on the highest-impact work.
- Excellent communication.
- You can tell a clear story to an exec audience and give a junior designer actionable feedback the same day.
- Comfortable operating in a high-growth, ambiguous environment where priorities evolve and speed matters.
- Genuine fluency with how AI is reshaping design, both the craft of designing AI-driven experiences and the way designers work day to day.
