📋 Description

• Hold and evolve the long-term product design vision for Back Office in close partnership with the Director of Product, Director of Engineering, and Back Office executive stakeholders • Advocate for users in strategic roadmap discussions—bringing user insight into the room, not just into the deliverables • Bring design to the leadership table as a peer, not a service function; articulate design’s role in driving product outcomes and build conviction across stakeholders • Define what design excellence looks like for Back Office and hold the team accountable to that standard • Build the process, rhythm, and shared ownership model that helps the team grow a component library intentionally over time • Establish a phased documentation plan that makes steady progress without pulling designers off product work • Define contribution norms so designers work with the library consistently—adding to it thoughtfully rather than around it • Partner with engineering to reduce implementation drift and build shared language around design system decisions • Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering leadership to shape roadmap priorities, ensure design intent translates into implementation quality, and represent design in leadership discussions • Define and track design quality metrics that matter to the business—and build a habit of presenting outcomes, not just deliverables, to leadership • Champion AI-assisted workflows that help your team move faster without sacrificing quality • Manage, mentor, and inspire a team of product designers - providing design direction and raising the quality bar through regular critiques and hands-on partnership • Create an environment where designers have clarity, space, and confidence to do their best work

🎯 Requirements

• 7–10+ years in product or UX design, with at least 3–5 years in a people management or design leadership role • Proven track record leading design for complex enterprise or B2B SaaS products • Experience in food service, hospitality, supply chain, or other complex operational industries • Background in multi-product or platform environments with shared design systems across product lines • Familiarity with enterprise B2B challenges: complex user hierarchies, long implementation cycles, multistakeholder decision-making • Experience with operational or financial software, accounting workflows, multi-user environments, or similarly dense information-heavy products • Experience bringing design to the leadership table: shaping product strategy, building stakeholder conviction, and advocating for users in high-stakes decisions • Experience growing a component library or design system with a team—building process, documentation habits, and contribution norms that move a system forward • A track record of measuring and communicating design outcomes—not just outputs—and using data to make the case for design investment • Strong cross-functional partnership skills with Product and Engineering leadership; excellent communication and storytelling across both design and executive audiences • Expertise in Figma and modern design tooling, including AI-assisted workflows; comfort working in agile environments

🏖️ Benefits

• Great benefits from day one. We offer medical, dental, vision, FSA, company-paid life insurance, and more—plus a 401(k) with company match. • Grow with us. Enjoy strong training, development, and competitive pay. • Work-life balance. Our flexible PTO policy lets you take time when you need it—no accrual required.
