  • Execution & Delivery: Lead end-to-end design across core areas of GenStudio. Partner with engineering to ensure designs are feasible, scalable, and performant.
  • Innovation & Experimentation: Champion a tinkerer's mindset: experimenting with prototypes, emerging UI patterns (chat + canvas + editor), and new generative AI capabilities. Create spaces for rapid experimentation (Labs-style pilots, internal playtesting, customer co-design).
  • Customer-Driven Change Management: Translate evolving customer insights and enterprise feedback into actionable design strategies with a focus on short and long-term impact. Advocate for marketer needs and ensure design decisions are grounded in research and real-world usage.

  • Strong systems thinker, able to simplify complexity into intuitive, composable workflows.
  • Passionate about scaling and mentoring design teams; player/coach mindset is essential.
  • A leader who balances strategic vision with execution discipline, adapts team structures as needed, and drives customer-driven change management.

  • Proven ability to build and scale a high-performing design organization, while remaining flexible with team structures
