Lead the Design direction of our product and ensure a cohesive and outstanding visual language and user experience.
Coaching and providing feedback on your team’s performance, helping them to develop clear career development goals and action plans on how to achieve them.
Partnering directly with our Director of Product Design and VP of Product, to evolve the Product Design team: our people, our structure, our processes, our beliefs
Anticipate and plan for the Design investments that will be necessary to take the product to new heights.

Experience designing digital products and systems. This isn’t solely a people management role - you’ll also be involved with and guide the product work. All of our managers care deeply about and actively engage in our product development process, details, and outcomes.
Experience managing Product Designers and genuinely caring about how the people who report to you perform, feel, and grow. The ability to develop a genuine relationship with people and help them grow, learn, and succeed.
A working knowledge of the full stack of Product Design, from systems thinking to visual design. You don’t need to be a specialist in all of these things, but you should be able to have informed, intelligent conversations.
Ability to envision and lead change. There are many things that we still need to evolve and improve about how we work, and the design manager role will be a key part in driving that change. We’re looking for someone who aligns with our values, but also who makes us better.
A growth mindset. Willingness to own problems. Comfort with ambiguity. Passion for building product. A desire to make things better.
