Full Job Description
The opportunity

We're seeking a Group Design Manager to lead and grow a team of world-class designers and a manager. You'll operate at the intersection of design, strategy, and business impact-shaping scalable, end-to-end experiences across the customer lifecycle.
As a systems-thinking leader, you'll set direction and enable your team to turn user needs, insights, and company objectives into high-quality UI and measurable outcomes. You'll drive alignment across a complex, matrixed organization while fostering a culture of craft, innovation, and growth.

What you'll do
  • Set and enforce the quality bar and strategy across all monetization experiences - acquisition, expansion, retention, and payments.
  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of Staff, and Senior designers, plus one Product Design Manager.
  • Drive the shift from execution to data-informed strategy: problem definition, opportunity identification, roadmap influence.
  • Own squad-level product and engineering relationships for routine alignment and to influence the strategy.
  • Partner with Sr. Staff Product Designers on innovation, cross-cutting quality and systems work - lateral relationships, not management.
  • Translate the team's design principles - composability, E2E ownership, data-informed discovery, quality as a gate - into how the team actually works day to day.
  • Communicate upward clearly: status, blockers, strategic risks, and team development.
  • Bring clarity to ambiguity and focus teams on highest-impact work.
  • Hire, mentor, and grow design leaders and teams; elevate UI craft.
  • Lead AI-native workflows, scaling design-to-production (e.g., Figma-to-code, coded systems).


What you need to succeed
  • 8+ years leading design teams in complex, matrixed organizations.
  • Experience in monetization and commerce with clear business impact.
  • Strong product and systems thinking.
  • High bar for UI craft and design quality.
  • Ability to lead through ambiguity and operate from strategy to execution.
  • Excellent communication and executive storytelling skills.
  • Experience hiring and developing high-performing teams.
  • Proven ability to drive alignment in complex environments.
  • Familiarity with modern systems and workflows improved by artificial intelligence.

Preferred Accessibility Design Skills:
  • Experience designing accessible and inclusive interfaces for people with disabilities.
  • Understanding of applying WCAG conformance criteria in design, specifically testing comps, wireframes, and prototypes for accessibility standards.
  • Accessibility certifications CPACC, WAS, CPWA, or ADS from the IAAP preferred.
