This pivotal role demands a hands-on leader with a proven track record in product design at a high-tech or SaaS software company, particularly in the area of multi-product unification. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing visionary leadership, holding the design team accountable for measurable improvements, and fostering a culture of high energy, active collaboration, and ownership. A key aspect of the role is to revolutionize the relationship between design and engineering, ensuring that design is a proactive, collaborative partner.

The role requires a leader who is a pragmatic problem-solver, deeply engaged, and ready to immerse themselves in the products and the customers' worlds. The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker, capable of operating at a strategic level while also being hands-on and willing to roll up their sleeves to drive execution. A data-driven mindset, the ability to influence and partner across different teams, and a proven track record in people leadership are essential. The company is dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the role offers a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of AI-driven products in a world-class, rapidly growing organization.
