Product Design Manager leading DesignOps, design systems, and AI-enabled UX improvements.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product Design Manager with 1+ years of experience across product design, UI/UX, user research, usability testing, and cross-functional team leadership. I’ve led design work that improved usability scores by 25–30% through user-centered decisions and measurable outcomes.
I manage teams of up to 10 designers with direct reports, and I directly present design strategy to leadership to influence product direction. I drive end-to-end ownership from problem definition and rapid prototyping through to final Figma handoff across web and mobile.
I build scalable DesignOps and design systems with token structure and engineering handoff workflows, strengthening collaboration with developers. I also leverage AI tools to optimize workflow while ensuring my work stays grounded in accessibility, usability standards, and clear design documentation.
