About the role:
Location: Remote within India
Team: Product Design
Reports to: Director / VP Product Design
Type: Full-time
Span: 5–7 Product Designers (Assoc → Senior/Lead)
Mode: ~50% Individual Contributor, ~50% People Leadership
We’re looking for a Product Design Manager who can lead by doing—someone equally comfortable defining strategy, mentoring designers, and getting into Figma to solve hard problems.
You’ve spent 8–10 years in product design for SaaS platforms and products, including leadership experience in SaaS or AI-driven products. You can zoom out to align design direction with business outcomes and zoom in to deliver pixel-perfect interfaces that inspire the team.
You’ll report to the Design Director or the VP of Product Design and lead a team of product designers while maintaining individual contributor responsibilities on key initiatives.
As a player–coach, you’ll shape both the craft and culture of design. You’ll guide the team through ambiguity, set a high bar for quality, and balance creative vision with execution speed. You’ll use research, data, and storytelling to influence product strategy, ensuring design plays a central role in how we build, launch, and scale.
Experience with AI-powered design tooling is mandatory. Applications without a folio will not be considered.

- Shape direction. Partner with PM and Engineering leadership to define product vision, priorities, and design principles.
- Raise the bar. Establish and maintain design quality standards across all surfaces—web, mobile, and system components.
- Drive systems thinking. Contribute to and evolve the design system, ensuring scalability and consistency.
- Influence outcomes. Use qualitative and quantitative insights to inform decisions and validate impact.
- Operate hands-on. Actively contribute design deliverables—flows, prototypes, visual systems—especially for complex or strategic projects.
- Champion accessibility and inclusion. Embed inclusive design practices into every stage of the design process.
- Evangelize design. Represent the design function in leadership forums, cross-team planning, and stakeholder reviews.
