About the role

  • Build and mentor a small, high-performing team of product and visual designers. Build design culture.
  • Drive UX and product design across web, mobile and future touchpoints, balancing creativity with usability.
  • Oversee visual and marketing design to ensure a cohesive identity across all touchpoints—from product experiences to marketing campaigns to external communications.
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to bring ideas from concept to launch.
  • Explore new interaction models and UX paradigms that leverage AI to make shopping more human, personalized, and inspiring.
  • Develop design systems, patterns, and standards that scale across all product and brand touchpoints.
  • Operate at both 10,000 feet and ground level—driving big-picture design vision while contributing hands-on design work yourself.

Requirements

  • 15+ years of experience in product design, including 3+ years leading and mentoring design teams.
  • A portfolio that showcases world-class product design work—ideally in consumer tech, fashion, or lifestyle. Ideally, this candidate can also oversee world class marketing design.
  • Mastery of user-centered design, UX research, and modern design tools (Figma, prototyping, etc.).
  • A strategic thinker with a builder’s mindset—comfortable defining vision, process, and design culture from the ground up.
  • Equally comfortable in pixels and conversations: you love crafting beautiful UI but also thrive in product and leadership discussions.
  • Deep curiosity about how AI can transform creative industries and consumer experiences, as well about emerging technologies and design innovation.
  • Collaborative, low-ego, and energized by startup pace and ambiguity.
Benefits
  • Ability to shape the design of a next generation product in the digital shopping space.
  • Opportunity to build and lead a design team from early stages.
  • A culture that values imagination, clarity, and craft.
  • Competitive salary, equity and benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, etc.)
  • Flexible vacation and remote working.
  • The opportunity to be part of a groundbreaking, AI-focused company.
  • Collaborative work environment with a team of talented, fun-loving individuals.
  • Opportunity to learn and grow in your career while shaping the future of fashion, shopping and technology
