Lead Product Designer

The Role

As a Lead Product Designer, you'll own the core experience of the CompanyCam product. You'll be responsible for the foundation: information architecture, surface hierarchy, placement logic, and how the parts of the product fit together. You'll be embedded in one squad, but the work you do shows up across every squad, so your decisions need to hold up across the whole product. As we ship new products, onboarding, activation, and features, you'll keep the core consistent and easy to use.

You'll also help raise the quality of the design team's work through your practice, the feedback you give, and the standards you hold. We're looking for someone with strong product judgment, deep design craft, and the ability to lift the work of the designers around them.

Remote: Candidates must permanently and currently reside in the United States. Employees are not required to work in the office or relocate to Lincoln, Nebraska, for this opportunity. Employees are encouraged to come hang out at headquarters for up to 10 days per calendar year on CompanyCam's dime.

What You'll Do

• Lead foundational product design within a core product area, shaping workflows, information architecture, and experience coherence within and across squads
• Design high-quality, intuitive experiences that simplify complexity while maintaining consistency across an evolving product ecosystem.
• Use design to shape product priorities, scope, and strategic decisions, extending influence far beyond execution.
• Actively explore and integrate AI tools into your process to work smarter, faster, and with more insight.
• Mentor designers through clear feedback, strong craft and design rationale, and visible practice that sharpens decision-making, strengthens judgment, and improved both team process and product outcomes.
• Work in tight partnership with your product manager and engineering team on a daily basis to plan, prioritize, and ship.
• Lead with empathy and clarity, helping teams align around shared goals and a strong customer perspective.

The Impact You'll Have

At CompanyCam, your work makes a real impact. Whether you're writing code, supporting customers, or designing experiences, your contributions directly shape the product we deliver and the people we serve. We're building something that helps real people solve real problems, and we believe that kind of work is best done by a team that reflects the world around us. You will have impact by:

• Defining and protecting the core product experience, ensuring workflows, information architecture, and surfaces remain cohesive as the product grows.
• Raising the quality, judgment, and consistency of the broader design team through mentorship, leadership, and visible excellence in your own work.
• Influencing product strategy and organizational decision-making by connecting design execution to broader business, customer, and operational outcomes.
• Driving solutions that improve long-term simplicity, scalability, product coherence, and genuinely improves the lives of our customers.
• Helping CompanyCam scale faster without sacrificing usability, foundational quality, or the integrity of the customer experience.

What You'll Bring

Core Requirements (non-negotiable)

• 7+ years of product design experience, including time operating at a senior or lead level.
• Strong mobile and web product design experience, preferably in SaaS or similar experiences with complex and varied user personas
• Proven ability to lead high-impact design work in ambiguous or foundational product areas, not just feature execution.
• Deep expertise in UX, systems thinking, and workflow design, with the ability to maintain coherence across complex product ecosystems.
• Demonstrated track record of raising design quality and mentoring a growing team
• Strong ability to balance long-term product vision with rapid, iterative execution that drives learning while maintaining product cohesion.

What Sets You Apart

• Experience owning or significantly shaping core product experiences, including information architecture, hierarchy, and cross-surface consistency.
• Strong product judgment and the confidence to push back when necessary, while building alignment rather than friction.
• Clear, practical documentation habits that leave teams stronger through reusable frameworks, systems, and decision-making artifacts.

Nice To Have

• Experience designing for trades work or similar field environment personas
• Formal education in Human-Computer Interaction, Product Design, or a related field.
• Experience mentoring, hiring, or formally leading other designers.
• Demonstrated AI workflow fluency and excitement for integrating modern tools into design practice.
