Product Design Lead, Platform

Let's start with the role

#OurOneTeam

As the Product Design Lead, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the end-to-end experience of our in-house apps, and influencing the broader Platform ecosystem. You will lead, coach and empower a team of designers while partnering with product and engineering leadership to ensure a shared, long-term vision for how our products evolve. Your role extends beyond execution: you will drive clarity, decision-making and alignment across teams to deliver exceptional, user-centric outcomes that support business growth and operational excellence.

#OurWayofWorking

Operating in a centralized model, we collaborate with multiple Scrum teams and cross-functional stakeholders across the organization. Our design practice combines structured discovery, continuous user research, and established delivery processes. Beyond sprint work, we proactively identify opportunities, remove design friction, and elevate the maturity of the product and team. Our culture values transparency, documentation, experimentation and continuous professional development.

As a Product Design Lead, you will: 

Cross-functional collaboration

• Partner closely with PMs, POs and Engineering Leads to align on goals, success metrics and delivery plans.
• Translate complex requirements into actionable design direction and clear problem definitions.
• Advocate for design within the product development lifecycle and ensure designers have the context they need.
• Help teams uncover root causes, validate assumptions and turn insights into clear design strategies.

Team excellence

• Lead, mentor and inspire a team of product designers, supporting their growth and performance.
• Set expectations around craft, process and communication to build a high-performing team culture.
• Collaborate closely with UX Researchers, ensuring alignment on user metrics, research priorities and insight-generation. Support their ownership of user data by integrating findings directly into design strategy, planning and product decision-making.
• Establish feedback loops and coaching frameworks that elevate design quality and autonomy.
• Drive AI-led initiatives and introduce tools, workflows and automation that enhance team efficiency, reduce manual overhead and accelerate delivery.
• Enhance and evolve the Design System with a focus on scalability, consistency and cross-product alignment.
