Help designers do the best work of their careers through strong critique, clear career development, and an environment where creative risk-taking is rewarded
Partner deeply with Product Management and Engineering as part of product triads - influencing strategy, not just executing on specs

Represent design in executive and cross-functional forums, ensuring the voice of the customer shapes roadmap decisions
Collaborate with crossfunctional teams to translate customer pain points into design priorities
Navigate the unique opportunities and constraints of Salesforce-native architecture and cloud architecture, designing experiences that leverage the platform without being limited by it

Requirements

What you’ll need

10+ years of product design experience, with significant depth in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, or workflow/operations tools
5+ years leading and growing design teams, including experience managing senior and junior designers and developing design talent
A portfolio that demonstrates mastery of simplifying complex, multi-step workflows into intuitive experiences - we want to see systems thinking, not just polished screens
Strong strategic instincts paired with deep craft: you can set a 2-year design vision and redline an interaction pattern in the same week
Experience partnering as equals with Product and Engineering leadership, not just receiving briefs
Comfort with user research methodologies - JTBD, usability testing, journey mapping - and the ability to connect research insights to design decisions
Knowledge on how to maximize design technology using platforms like Figma, Pendo, UserTesting, Claude, and others to the advantage of design quality and speed of execution
Excellent communication and storytelling skills: you can articulate design rationale to engineers, executives, and customers with equal clarity
Proficiency in modern design tools and an eagerness to leverage AI-powered design and prototyping tools in your team's workflow
A genuine curiosity about B2B go-to-market operations. You don't need to be a RevOps expert on day one, but you need to be energized by learning the domain deeply.
