About Threecolts

Threecolts is a fast-growing SaaS company powering thousands of Amazon and Walmart sellers with tools that drive growth, automation, and insight. With a team of 500+ people across 40+ countries, we’re remote-first, product-led, and building scalable systems that handle millions of data points daily.

The Role

We’re hiring a Head of Design to lead and deliver best-in-class UX, marketing, and brand design across Threecolts. You’ll own the design function end-to-end, from execution to strategy, while also managing our external design agency. You must be a hands-on leader: able to deliver, critique, and ship at pace.

Responsibilities

• Lead all design functions across UX, UI, product, web, and brand
• Own full design delivery: ideation to go-to-market for both product and marketing
• Build and maintain scalable, fast-moving design workflows
• Collaborate closely with product, marketing, and engineering to drive results
• Manage and direct output from our external agency — ensure consistency, speed, and quality
• Deliver full websites, UX flows, and UI systems — not just visuals, but real shipped solutions
• Stay close to the work — this is not just a strategy role
  
  

Requirements

• 8+ years in UX/product/marketing design, with at least 3 years in a senior or leadership role
• Demonstrate track record of designing and shipping multiple (4/5) full product experiences across SaaS and mobile. Each should be visible, usable, and show measurable user or business impact.
• You must be able to walk us through full design ownership: from research and IA to pixel-perfect delivery, not just visuals. This includes:
• Full UX and UI systems built in Figma or equivalent
• Collaboration with PMs and engineers on scoping, feedback, and iteration
• QA and launch support (you stuck with it through shipping)
• Product success metrics or lessons learned
• Track record of managing design teams or agencies, and delivering high-quality output at scale
• Deep knowledge of modern design tools, especially Figma
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, iterative SaaS environment
• Able to communicate clearly with execs, engineers, marketers, and stakeholders
  

AI In Design – Required

• Proven use of AI tools to support and accelerate design workflows
• Strong familiarity with AI design tools, and a clear philosophy on when and how to use them for research, ideation, prototyping, and scaling output
• Must be able to talk through how AI was applied across:
• UX research
• Ideation
• Wireframes
• Visual design
• Copywriting
• Marketing asset generation
• Show how AI helped improve speed, output, or scale
  

Interview Expectations

Come Prepared To Walk Us Through At Least 4 Real, Shipped Products — Ideally SaaS Platforms Or Mobile Apps — Where You Led The Design. We’ll Be Looking To Understand

• What the product does and why it matters
• Your individual contributions (not just what the team delivered)
• Where your impact is clearly visible
• The tools and processes you used
• How you worked with product and engineering
• How AI played a role in your design approach
• What outcomes you achieved — and what you’d do differently next time
  
  

This is a leadership role, but also a builder role. We’re looking for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, understands the demands of SaaS, and can deliver!
