Descrizione del lavoro

Propel is seeking a Director of Design to lead a senior team across product design, content design, and design research. You will tie design decisions to revenue, retention, and company priorities, defining what design means at an AI-native company.

You will report to the Head of Product as a core member of EPD leadership, shaping design rituals, and driving a premium user experience that supports millions of users of government-benefit apps.

Competenze

• Experience managing a product design team at a consumer software startup.
• Has worked at the staff or principal IC product designer level in the last 3 years.
• Has managed a team of at least five designers, including hiring, performance management, and promotions.
• Fluency in consumer software patterns: growth loops, churn and retention, behavior-based monetization, and A/B testing.
• A considered perspective on what AI-native design practice looks like, and evidence that you are actively developing it.
• Working knowledge of LLMs, code generation, and generative design tools, developed through your own use of them rather than secondhand
• The ability to tie design work to company strategy at a company with many competing priorities and finite resources
• Exceptional organization, and strength as both a writer and a speaker, particularly on project plans and strategic concepts
• Composure when priorities shift. Both the roadmap and the tooling underneath it are changing quickly, and a plan made this quarter may not survive the next one.

Mansioni

• Lead a senior, autonomous design team.
• Make the case for design debt and get it paid down.
• Improve our product development process.
• Redefine design as an AI-native function.
• Make Propel a premium experience that moves metrics.
