As a Design Director, you bring experience managing delivery teams and have expertise in visual and UX design. This enables you to coach designers cross-context to move towards tangible outcomes and lift the quality of their work. You will manage expectations and ensure deadlines are met in a timely manner against your roadmap. You will be able to communicate clearly and actively listen to product and engineering stakeholders, and your team, to drive sustainable quality improvements and guide individuals towards meaningful growth.

What your day will look like:
Reviewing the work of your design team for quality
Working with individual designers to support their professional growth
Continuously improving operational workflows, including production outsourcing and collaboration with Web Engineering
Working with stakeholders, especially Marketing and our Head of Brand, to clearly define and validate outcomes
Evolving design systems and guidelines to drive consistent quality and improve efficiency
Coordinating with the rest of design leadership to mature our collective practice
Bringing your team and others together to share their work and strengthen culture
Engaging the open source community to learn and make the value of our work legible
What we are looking for in you:
A portfolio demonstrating quality in UI design, especially visually
Exceptional educational achievements in design or related behavioral science discipline
Full lifecycle experience from user needs discovery through validation and implementation guidance
Commitment to transparent project delivery and owning team deadlines
Experience of managing a team that interacts with technical stakeholders
Familiarity with quantitative optimisation approaches
A passion for balancing consistency and innovation
Willingness to travel up to 4 times a year for internal events
