Product Design Lead📣 Job Ad

About the Role

This is a high-impact leadership role at Jobgether, acting on behalf of a partner company. The position sits at the intersection of product design, systems thinking, and complex infrastructure. You will lead a small, high-calibre design team responsible for shaping the core merchant experience within a sophisticated payments platform used by global businesses. The product surface is deeply technical and operationally critical, requiring clarity in environments where user flows are conditional and stateful. You will operate as a hands-on design leader, balancing strategic ownership with deep individual contribution. Working closely with Product and Engineering, you will help define what gets built, why it matters, and how it behaves in real-world use. The environment is remote-first, globally distributed, and highly autonomous, with a strong emphasis on craft, ownership, and thoughtful collaboration.

You will own the design vision, execution quality, and team development for a critical product domain, ensuring both strategic alignment and hands-on contribution to the most complex problems. This position requires a leader comfortable operating with autonomy and making high-stakes product decisions in ambiguous environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and own the end-to-end experience strategy and design quality bar for your product area.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a small team of product designers through critique, coaching, and hands-on collaboration.
• Contribute directly to product design work, spending a significant portion of time in the tools solving high-impact problems.
• Partner as an equal with Product and Engineering leaders to shape roadmap direction and product decisions.
• Lead research efforts to uncover user needs across multiple personas and translate insights into product direction.
• Strengthen and extend the design system by identifying gaps and building reusable patterns and components.
• Navigate complex trade-offs between ideal user experience, technical constraints, and operational realities.
• Build and evolve design processes, critique standards, and delivery practices that enable a small team to operate at high velocity and high quality.

Qualifications and Requirements

• Proven experience designing and shipping complex SaaS, fintech, infrastructure, or developer-focused products.
• Prior experience leading or mentoring product designers, formally or informally.
• Strong craft skills across interaction design, visual design, and information architecture.
• Demonstrated ability to own a product domain from early ambiguity through to shipped outcomes.
• Experience working closely with Product and Engineering in a highly collaborative environment.
• Ability to operate independently with high autonomy and minimal direction.
• Strong systems thinking and comfort working in technically complex environments.
• Experience with payments, financial systems, or regulated domains is a strong plus.
• Experience contributing to or scaling a design system is an advantage.
