About The Position

At Webflow, our mission is to bring development superpowers to everyone. As the pioneer of the Website Experience Platform (WXP), we’re redefining how teams Build, Manage, and Optimize for the web — combining visual development, powerful content management systems, AI-driven personalization, seamless hosting, and end-to-end analytics in a single, unified platform. With AI at the core, Webflow helps teams move faster, create more performant digital experiences, and scale without heavy engineering support. From independent designers and creative agencies to global enterprises, hundreds of thousands of organizations use Webflow to turn ideas into reality — and to power what’s possible on the web. We are looking for a Senior Product Design Manager to lead our developer strategy and design systems teams. Your primary focus will be on shaping Webflow’s developer products, including Custom Code, Webflow Cloud, and extensibility. You will also guide the evolution and scale of our Spring Design System so it can support the company as we grow. You will work closely with engineering and product partners to turn complex technical concepts into intuitive, powerful experiences. You will champion a builder culture that encourages teams to explore ideas through making, validate concepts quickly, and bring clarity to complex problems. You will set a high bar for craft, mentor designers, and explore how AI can transform both developer workflows and design systems. This role is both strategic and hands-on. You will coach teams, scale our systems, and communicate the impact of design clearly to senior leaders. Most importantly, you will empower developers and designers to create the future of the web with Webflow.
