Director, Product Design

Required Qualifications

• 12+ years of product design, design systems, design technology, or front end experience, including significant experience leading complex systems or platform initiatives at scale.
• 5+ years of people management experience, with a strong track record of leading senior designers, managers, design technologists, or multidisciplinary systems teams.
• Deep experience building, scaling, or transforming design systems for complex multi product organizations.
• Strong product judgment and the ability to connect systems work directly to customer value, product strategy, execution speed, and business impact.
• Exceptional systems thinking, with the ability to see patterns across teams, products, platforms, and workflows, then turn those patterns into reusable experience infrastructure.
• High craft standards across interaction design, information architecture, visual design, accessibility, prototyping, content patterns, motion, and implementation quality.
• Proven ability to influence senior cross functional partners, create alignment across ambiguous problem spaces, and drive horizontal product quality without relying on mandate alone.
• Strong technical fluency and comfort partnering with front end engineering teams on component architecture, implementation standards, platform constraints, quality control, and system adoption.
• Experience defining governance models, contribution models, quality standards, documentation practices, and lifecycle processes for shared product systems.
• A clear point of view on the future of design systems, including how AI, design technology, design infrastructure, and reusable product logic should change how teams design and build.
• A collaborative, low ego leadership style, with a track record of developing talent, raising standards, improving critique, and helping teams produce better work than they could have produced on their own.
• A portfolio or body of work that demonstrates strong design leadership, systems strategy, product impact, organizational influence, and excellent taste.
• Experience leading design systems, design technology, front end platform, or product infrastructure teams in a large scale, multi product organization.
• Deep understanding of how to leverage content systems as part and parcel of the overall design system.
• Experience building shared patterns for complex product domains such as collaboration, content management, permissions, search, productivity, AI, administration, or multi product ecosystems.
• Strong technical fluency across coded systems, design tokens, component architecture, accessibility infrastructure, prototyping tools, and front end implementation quality.
• A strong point of view on the future of design systems, including how AI, design technology, and reusable product logic should evolve the way teams design and build.
