  • Operational mindset with experience improving team processes and decision-making workflows
  • Design

  • Portfolio of case studies showcasing how you've led teams to deliver high-craft experiences from inception through launch
  • Demonstrated ability to transform user experiences by balancing visionary thinking with near-term, actionable execution
  • Experience delivering 0 1 products from concept to launch, bringing bold ideas to life
  • Skilled at navigating large-scale, complex, and ambiguous projects across multiple teams
  • Mindset

  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, startup environments
  • Embody a learning and growth mindset
  • Comfortable with the level of learning and ambiguity required to navigate fast-evolving fields
  • You'll report directly to the Director of Design. While this role is based in Austin, Texas, we're open to exploring remote possibilities for qualified candidates.
