We’re looking for a hands-on Lead Designer who leads by example — someone who’s passionate about building great experiences with their team, shaping strategy through design, and raising the bar on quality and impact.

In this role, you’ll guide a team of talented Product Designers working alongside Product and Engineering in shipping high-quality, customer-centric experiences. You’ll be deeply involved in defining what we build and how we build it — ensuring design plays a central, strategic role in shaping OLX.

This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll switch fluidly between leading design direction, coaching designers, and rolling up your sleeves to help your team solve real customer problems. You’ll champion design craft, user advocacy, and continuous learning — helping your team grow their impact and capabilities.

What you will be doing:

Lead and grow a high-performing team of Product Designers — coaching, mentoring, and supporting them in delivering excellent work and growing their craft.

Shape the product strategy with your cross-functional partners, ensuring customer insights and design vision directly influence what we build.

Drive design quality — lead critiques, design reviews, and feedback sessions to raise the standard of what we ship.

Partner closely with Product and Engineering to align on priorities, balance speed and quality, and ensure smooth collaboration from discovery to delivery.

Establish strong design practices — helping teams improve their processes, leverage systems, and work efficiently.

Foster a culture of excellence and learning, empowering your team to experiment, challenge assumptions, and take ownership.

Stay close to customers and data — using insights to inform decisions, validate impact, and guide iteration.

Recruit and onboard strong, diverse design talent to continue elevating the team.

Experience influencing product direction and connecting design decisions to business outcomes.

Strong collaboration and communication skills — you can translate design thinking into action across teams.

A bias toward hands-on leadership — you enjoy getting into the details when needed.
