Head Of Design

At Superhuman, we've built the fastest email experience in the world one that's deeply loved and adored by customers who get through their inboxes twice as fast.

We've recently joined forces with Grammarly, the trusted AI assistant for communication and productivity used by over 40 million people and 50,000 organizations worldwide. Together, we're creating the AI-native productivity suite that will redefine the future of work.

Grammarly is No. 11 on the Forbes Cloud 100, one of TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies, and one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in AI. Companies like Atlassian, Databricks, and Zoom rely on Grammarly's technology, which integrates seamlessly with over 500,000 applications and websites.

As part of Grammarly's productivity suite, you'll join the Superhuman team in shaping the future of email and communication.

Build Love

At Superhuman, we have a deep understanding of how to build products that people love. We incorporate fun and play, infusing magic and joy to create experiences that amaze and delight. It all starts with the right team a team that deeply cares about values, customers, and each other.

Create Massive Impact

We're not solving a small problem, nor are we addressing a small market. We're reshaping the fundamentals of how people work. We're combining premium product craft with enterprise-scale capabilities to rethink how individuals and teams should fundamentally collaborate. We are building a household brand and a worldwide organization. We are here to do our best work, and we hope you are too.

Role

Outcome #1 : Own our design strategy, in partnership with our Head of Product and CEO. [build the right thing]

  • Frame key design questions, decide an approach, and build a roadmap that works with our overall product strategy.
  • Continue to improve our core product through customer discovery, domain expertise, user feedback, and analytics.

Outcome #2 : Champion our core values and our design philosophy. [build it right]

  • The point of Superhuman is not just to grow as fast as possible. We are also here to build the most delightful and remarkable experiences that we can. We could stop any product project at 80% without obvious impact on near-term business metrics. But if we had done so to date, Superhuman would not be a beloved product. It would be like every other email app, and we would not be where we are today.
  • The Head of Design should push for this extra mile, and do the 20% that other companies would not do because it does not affect short-term outcome. This is key to our brand, and builds our product moat.
  • Outcome #3 : Execute our design strategy in partnership with our Head of Product and Head of Engineering [build it fast]

  • Build and iterate a detailed roadmap in partnership with our Head of Product and Head of Engineering.
  • Lead execution by managing scope, user experience, and timeline in partnership with our Head of Product and Head of Engineering.
  • Outcome #4 : Build and lead a high-performing design organization. [run the team]

  • Recruit, retain, and develop a diverse and AI-fluent team.
  • Lead with coaching, prioritization, and clear communication, modeling both AI mastery and Superhuman values.
  • Make AI a daily habit across planning, execution, and review processes.
  • Redesign top workflows with AI at the core, rapidly prototyping and iterating to drive customer impact.
  • Set and track standards for AI fluency as a core hiring and performance expectation.
  • Earn the right to scale the team by first maximizing what AI unlocks, hiring only when human creativity, judgment, or connection is truly essential.
  • Share and celebrate AI best practices, wins, and customer impact stories across the team and company.
  • Sound Like You?

  • AI-First Operator : You embed AI into daily workflows, rituals, and decision-making. You model fluency, curiosity, and visible use of AI to raise the bar for speed, quality, and customer impact.
  • Customer-Centered Innovator : You redesign experiences to create AI-native magic delighting customers through faster, smarter, and more effective workflows that deliver measurable outcomes.
