Director, Product Design
role at
Zip
The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated even at the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T+ per year globally—over 30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend—and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses. Our co‑founders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly intractable problem with a purpose‑built procurement platform that provides a simple, consumer‑grade user experience. Within the last four years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and Prudential rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend. We have a world‑class team coming from category‑defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting‑edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all—driving incredible value for our customers.
Your Role We’re hiring a Design Director to lead our Procure‑to‑Pay product group. In this role, you will be responsible for scaling Zip’s Procure‑to‑Pay product line, a critical revenue driver for Zip. Your teams will oversee purchase order issuance and management, AP automation workflows, and global payments and card platforms. You will ensure we continue to deliver a consumer‑grade purchasing experience for business users while also meeting the increasingly complex process orchestration and functionality requirements of finance teams.
You Will
Build and manage a talented team of designers that consistently delivers on projects and is well‑balanced across a range of design skill sets
Define the overall UX strategy, future vision, goals, success metrics, roadmap, and sprint commitments for our Procure‑to‑Pay product
Be responsible for overall team performance and health, resource allocation, and project prioritization

Cultivate a healthy design process for the team, and be a key contributor to product strategy, driving business outcomes through design
Set and uphold a high standard of design craft and systems thinking across the company, ensuring consistency and excellence
Effectively communicate your team’s product goals and connect related projects across the company so that problems or joint decisions can be resolved quickly
Scale an enterprise‑grade product that is highly differentiated in the market
Stay abreast of industry trends, emerging technologies, and design best practices—especially within Generative AI

10+ years of experience in Product Design in high‑growth startups, B2B tech companies
4+ years of design leadership experience with direct reports under your guidance and leadership
Strong cross‑functional collaboration skills—you inspire confidence with product, engineering, and go‑to‑market teams

Ability to balance long‑term vision with short‑term execution in a high‑growth environment
Excellent communication and storytelling abilities, with an eye for both detail and the big picture
A proven track record of building and leading high‑performing design teams
