About The Position

We’re building the future of B2B go-to-market with AI. We need a design leader who loves craft, believes in shipping, and knows how to build trust across product, engineering, and go-to-market teams. You’ll lead a team of 5 product designers, shape our platform experience, and help bring the “self-driving revenue platform” vision to life. This is a player-coach role. You’ll guide designers, set direction, and still jump into the work when it matters. Not to hoard pixels — but to model high standards, unblock teams, and move fast when ambiguity is high. If you get energy from coaching people, influencing without drama, and shipping work that makes customers feel seen and powerful — we want you.

• Strong facilitation skills and crisp storytelling

Responsibilities

• Lead product design and execution across core product surfaces
• Drive end-to-end experience quality with flows, prototypes, and user narratives
• Translate ambiguous problems into clear decisions, scope, and shipped outcomes
• Raise the bar for craft, consistency, and usability across the platform
• Lead and develop a team of five product designers
• Build strong judgment and autonomy through mentorship and feedback
• Run effective rituals including critiques, reviews, planning, and retrospectives
• Set and enforce clear quality standards for the team
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering leaders on strategy and execution
