About The Position

We are seeking a Director, Product Design & Experience, to lead UX and UI across Herbalife’s core digital platforms used by millions of distributors and customers globally. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for setting the design vision, rebuilding and scaling internal product design capability, and partnering closely with Product Management and Engineering to deliver intuitive, scalable, high-quality digital experiences. This leader will play a key role in strengthening Herbalife’s internal product design function following a period of external partnership and will bring both strategic leadership and hands-on execution. The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in product design, design systems, and cross-functional collaboration with fluency in modern AI-enabled workflows. They know how to use AI to accelerate ideation and prototyping, apply strong judgment in evaluating when AI-generated output is not production-ready, and operate effectively in evolving design-to-code workflows that increasingly blur the boundary between design and engineering.
