Director, Ecommerce Product Design

Key Responsibilities

• Vision & strategy: Define and champion a compelling vision for the future of the simplisafe.com experience; partner with Growth, Product, Engineering, and Analytics leaders to translate that vision into a roadmap and influence broader product strategy.
• Design systems & governance: Own design system strategy for Ecommerce — establish the process, governance, and structure (component standards, documentation, design-to-code handoff) needed to fully capitalize on the CMS and front-end overhaul.
• AI adoption in the design workflow: Identify, pilot, and scale AI tools and workflows across design and research (ideation, prototyping, content generation, research, synthesis, testing) to increase team velocity and quality; set guidelines and training for responsible, effective adoption.
• Team leadership & craft: Build, coach, and grow a team of product designers and researchers; increase velocity of design output while raising the bar on craft; cultivate a collaborative, healthy team culture.
• Cross-functional partnership: Partner closely with Growth, Product, Engineering, and Analytics to shape product strategy and improve day-to-day ways of working between design and development.
• Research & experimentation: Keep the team grounded in user research and a conversion-focused, experimentation-driven mindset; ensure design decisions are informed by data and validated against measurable customer and business outcomes.
• Brand alignment: Align closely with Brand and other internal design teams to ensure visual and experiential consistency across channels.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of digital product design experience, ideally with significant experience in D2C/ecommerce at a company where the majority of revenue came through the website.
• 5+ years leading and growing in-house product design and research teams, including experience managing managers or senior individual contributors.
• Proven experience building, scaling, or governing a design system, and establishing the process/tooling that connects design and front-end development — experience partnering through a CMS or front-end replatforming is a strong plus.
• Practical experience integrating AI tools into a design workflow (e.g., AI-assisted prototyping, content generation, research synthesis) and helping a team adopt new tools and ways of working.
• Track record of setting a design vision and influencing product strategy at the leadership level, not just executing against a roadmap.
• Track record of producing data-informed, effective UX that delivers measurable outcomes for the customer and the business, in an experimentation-centered environment.
• Track record of attracting, retaining, and up-leveling high-performing design teams.
• Highly skilled in Figma; fluent with modern design and prototyping tools, including AI-assisted design tools.
• Familiarity with WCAG accessibility standards.
• Excellent verbal and written communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders.
• A portfolio showcasing end-to-end design leadership — vision-setting, org-building, and measurable business outcomes across research, UX, visual, and interaction design.
