📋 Description

• People Leadership: Manage, coach, and develop a team of product designers. • Craft & Quality: Set and uphold the design quality bar across your pod. • Strategy & Prioritization: Translate company and product strategy into design priorities for your team. • Cross-Functional Partnership: Operate as the senior design partner for product managers, engineering leads, and editorial stakeholders within your pod. • Business Outcomes: Own the impact of your team’s work on conversion, engagement, and revenue metrics. • AI-First Practice: Embed AI tooling into your team’s day-to-day workflow. • Process & Rituals: Shape the operating model of the design team. • Hands-On Contribution: Step into the work directly when it’s the right call. • Team Development: Build a culture of feedback, curiosity, and ownership.

🎯 Requirements

• 12+ years of experience in product design, with a minimum of 5 years in a design management or design leadership role. • Proven experience managing senior designers, staff designers, or design leads — not just junior or mid-level ICs. • A track record of developing designers into the next stage of their careers. • Demonstrated ownership of design work that drove significant, measurable business outcomes — conversion, engagement, revenue, or retention — at meaningful scale. • Deep craft foundation. You can sit in a critique, review a Figma file, and give the kind of sharp, specific feedback that only comes from years of building and shipping product yourself. • Experience operating as a peer to senior product, engineering, and commercial leaders — holding your ground, shaping strategy, and influencing decisions outside the design team. • Fluency with modern design tooling (Figma, prototyping tools) and a sophisticated understanding of how AI is reshaping product development workflows. • Ability to articulate design decisions and trade-offs in plain language to executives, PMs, engineers, and commercial stakeholders — and to hold the room when the stakes are high. • Remote-first experience with strong asynchronous communication habits. • You bring people together—articulate vision, build alignment, and foster cross-team collaboration through inspiring narrative.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation package • Group Medical Insurance, Term Life Insurance & Personal Accident Coverage & Gratuity • Fitness & Commute Reimbursement • Fully remote work model • Third Friday of every month off
