Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain the division's design foundation - the design system, cross-tribe agents and skills, research and discovery engines, design architecture, guidelines, and standards
  • Hold the multi-year view: write clearly about what design across the division will need that it doesn't yet have, and drive towards it with enough conviction to see it through
  • Work with Staff Designers so that tribe-level design substrates compose into a coherent whole rather than a collection of parallel efforts
  • Partner with the VP on the most complex cross-tribe design problems - the ones that don't fit inside any single tribe's scope
  • Encode design judgement into reusable systems - components, tokens, patterns, agents, skills - rather than one-off artifacts that live and die with a single project
  • Contribute craft feedback and calibration input into Director and Staff Designer performance reviews
  • Requirements

  • A body of shipped, high-quality design work and demonstrable taste - senior enough to be credible across multiple tribes without needing to prove it
  • Multi-year thinking and the ability to encode it into systems and agents that outlast any single initiative
  • Genuine satisfaction in cross-tribe substrate work - the unglamorous problems that don't carry a team's name on them
  • You've gone beyond personal productivity with AI: you've redesigned how you or your team works using AI, built approaches other people can follow, and you attend carefully to what the AI gives you rather than accepting it without scrutiny
  • Ability to operate as a multiplier for a VP without needing the title or formal authority that typically comes with that level of influence
  • Offer

    No matter where you’re based, you’ll enjoy:

    • Unlimited paid holiday (yes, really)
    • Participation in our company share program
    • Paid parental leave (6 months fully paid for primary caregivers, 2 months for secondary, available after one year of service)
    • An annual Learning budget of €300 (and more for high performers) to support your development
    • Monthly "EDGE" time to Explore, Develop, Grow, and Elevate yourself
    • A work from anywhere policy with flexibility to work abroad for a few weeks each year
    • Relocation options, available after one year
    • Flexible, hybrid working options
    • A home office setup budget to make your workspace your own and a monthly work-from-home allowance
    • Claude tokens, so you can automate workflows and build smarter, more efficient ways of working
