We’re looking for a Product Design Team Lead to join our Product org. We seek a hands-on team player with a meticulous eye for design, and a drive to create beautiful experiences for our customers.
The Design Team Lead position is a “player-coach” role that involves three direct reports, while also holding individual contributor responsibilities. We expect this amounts to approximately a 70/30 split for the player/coach aspect. This is a perfect role for someone ready to expand their career to include design team management.
Responsibilities:
- will own all things product design including leading our team of three outstanding product designers. You will partner with others in product and engineering to deliver on our product vision.
- addition to managing all design, you will also be the designer on a squad (squad = engineers + product manager + designer) focused on new product initiatives.
- will influence the design of thousands of other products.
- be responsible for helping level up the careers of our design team.
- be responsible for leveling up the overall quality of the design process to ensure that the work of our design team is making the right tradeoffs to ensure speed and quality.
- be responsible for ensuring that our user research and discovery processes are improving. You’ll lead the team in user testing & research on a regular basis as a foundation for making a great product.
About you
- have taste. You obsess over product experience and can usually pinpoint 5 things you’d change about a product within your first 30 mins of using it (including ours, we hope).
- believe that the work isn’t done until users love it. You have a desire to improve everything you touch, and a portfolio that showcases doing so through great design taste and experience.
- are curious and motivated by learning. You can give examples of how you’ve learned from customers and used shipping as an opportunity to improve your product.
- shape your teams to think this way too. Everyone around you develops more market awareness.
- have worked on B2B software product teams in the past and have a strong opinion on the designer’s role on the team.
- have a track record of mentoring other designers, either those you’ve formally managed or just worked alongside.
