Job Introduction
We are on the lookout for a Design Director with a proven track record of elevating design practices, nurturing global design teams, and crafting seamless digital product experiences that resonate at scale. You’re not just a designer — you’re a strategist, a storyteller, a mentor, and an advocate for the user. Your leadership has shaped products, inspired communities, and driven business outcomes. This is your opportunity to lead with vision and impact.
Your Mission:
Own and evolve the design vision and strategy across all digital product initiatives, ensuring alignment with business goals and user needs. Lead multiple design teams across geographies (20–50 members), including UI, UX, and Research functions. Oversee the delivery of complex, high-impact product design engagements across industries and platforms. Provide direction and mentorship to design leads, ensuring consistency, quality, and innovation across projects. Act as the primary design liaison with key clients, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams — ensuring proactive escalation management and solution-oriented communication. Advocate for user-centered design and strategic research, translating insights into actionable design strategies. Guide the design process from discovery to execution, without necessarily being hands-on, but by closely steering teams through every phase. Shape and influence the design culture internally and externally — creating an “aura” in the community through thought leadership, talks, and presence. Build strong cross-functional relationships with Product, Engineering, and Business teams to influence roadmap and priorities. Contribute to organizational growth through hiring, training, and creating frameworks that scale design excellence.Superpowers you will need:
10+ years of experience in design with at least 3–5 years in a design leadership role managing large, multidisciplinary teams across geographies. Proven success managing product design engagements of high complexity and strategic importance. Deep understanding of UX research, UI design, product strategy, and service design. Strong product design acumen — with the ability to challenge, refine, and guide teams through complex problem-solving, even without being hands-on. Exceptional communication, negotiation, and presentation skills — with the ability to influence and inspire at all levels. Experience interfacing with clients, managing escalations with confidence and professionalism. Recognized presence in the design community — through speaking engagements, contributions, or publications. Ability to inspire, mentor, and develop design leaders, fostering a culture of excellence and accountability. Passion for building inclusive, user-first products and empowering design teams to think boldly.Bonus Points If You:
Have experience in fast-paced, product-led environments (e.g., SaaS, enterprise, or consumer tech). Have successfully led design transformation initiatives or scaled design systems. Are known for your ability to balance creativity with pragmatism and business impact.and let’s do something extraordinary together
