About The Role

What You’ll Do

• Scale the team thoughtfully as we grow
• Introduce structure without slowing teams down
• Raise the bar on craft
• Be the person who sets the standard for design quality
• Push for simplicity, clarity, and strong interaction design
• Ensure we move beyond “good enough SaaS UX” to something differentiated
• Champion design as a core discipline, not a support function
• Stay hands-on where it matters
• Contribute directly to high-impact product areas
• Review and elevate work across teams
• Lead by example through your own design output

• Help teams move from vague problems to clear solutions
• Bring strong opinions on UX, interaction patterns, and product direction
• Build a strong team
• Coach and develop designers
• Create a culture of ownership, feedback, and high standards
• Hire exceptional talent as we scale

Must-Have Experience

• What we’re looking for
• 8+ years in product design, with at least 2+ years leading designers or teams
• Proven experience building or significantly evolving a design function in a product-led company
• Experience working on complex B2B SaaS products (multi-feature, multi-user, workflow-heavy)
• Track record of improving both product quality and team performance

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Design, HCI, Psychology, or a related field
• A strong portfolio can substitute for formal education

• Expert in modern design tools (e.g. Figma, AI tooling)
• Experience building and maintaining design systems at scale
• Strong understanding of interaction design, UX patterns, and usability principles
• Familiarity with prototyping tools and workflows

• You are an org builder
• You’ve built or significantly evolved a design function before
• You know how to introduce structure without creating bureaucracy
• You can scale a team while keeping quality high

You Care Deeply About Craft

• You have a strong product design background
• You have high standards and push others to reach them
• You notice details others miss
• You are hands-on
• You’re comfortable jumping into the work when needed
• You lead through doing, not just directing
• You enjoy being close to product decisions
• You think like a product leader

• You can challenge PMs and engineers constructively
• You balance user needs, business goals, and speed
• You thrive in scale-ups
