About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Managing and developing the design team — running structured 1:1s, setting goals, providing regular feedback, and supporting career development for designers across product and marketing streams
Driving practical adoption of AI across the team — identifying tools, introducing them into workflows, and ensuring they are used to improve output rather than as isolated experiments
Hiring as the team grows — defining requirements, running interviews, onboarding new hires
Running usability tests and user research — using existing tools and processes to test designs, gather evidence, and feed findings into prioritisation and design decisions
Owning design delivery and SLAs — defining intake processes, setting tiered turnaround SLAs, tracking on-time delivery, and measuring stakeholder satisfaction with design as a function
Working closely with Product and Marketing to shape work early, clarify requirements, and align on outcomes
Governing design quality — reviewing the team's output, maintaining quality standards and review gates, ensuring consistency across product and brand without carrying individual design work
Building on and scaling the team's existing processes, visibility, and ways of working as we grow
Scaling the design system — driving adoption across designers and engineers, tracking component reuse, identifying gaps, and ensuring the system accelerates delivery
Helping marketing designers produce stronger, more effective work by shaping briefs and direction
