Senior Manager, Product Design

Digible is hiring a Senior Manager, Product Design to lead hands-on design across product pods while building and managing the company’s design function. The role focuses on making data, analytics, and AI-generated intelligence clear and trustworthy, and establishing design practices, systems, research, and AI transformation across the organization.

Responsibilities:

• 🎨 Hands-On Design: carry real design work across pods as our shared, senior design resource (~75%)
• 📊 Data & Intelligence Design: set the bar for how Digible presents data, analytics, and AI-generated intelligence to customers, so every report, dashboard, and insight is engaging, delightful, trustworthy, and AI-forward
• 👥 Manage & Grow: coach and develop our Product Designer (~25% of your time, alongside function-building)
• 🧠 Product Strategy & Roadmap Partner: partner with product managers on product strategy and roadmaps, bringing design's point of view on customer problems and experience to what we build and why, not just how it looks
• 🔍 Customer Research Leader: lead how Digible runs customer research and discovery: interview practice, our customer advisory board, and feedback analysis and synthesis, so customer insight shapes decisions across pods
• 🤝 Stakeholder Partnership: build relationships across pods and agency teams — internal stakeholders are design's customers and champions, not ticket-writers
• 📐 Define the Practice: establish Digible's design principles, critique culture, quality standards, design career ladder, and design job descriptions — codifying what great taste means here so quality survives AI-speed production
• 🧱 Build the Infrastructure: develop, lead, and iterate on our design system and design ops — grounded in best practices — so a small team ships like a big one
• ✨ AI-Native Function: define what an AI-native design practice looks like, build it into how we work, and lead AI transformation for design at Digible
• 📡 Design Thought Leadership: be the company's design trend expert — educate the team and leadership on where design and AI are heading

Requirements:

• 6+ years of product design experience, including 2+ years managing or formally mentoring designers
• A standout track record designing data, analytics, or intelligence products that customers find engaging and trustworthy: dashboards, reporting, insights, AI-generated summaries, or similar. This is the core of the role
• Player/coach by choice: still excellent (and happy) doing hands-on design ~75% of the time
• Built design foundations from scratch — principles, design system, ops, or critique culture from scratch — with the taste to define what "great" means
• AI-forward design practice: hands-on with AI tools and opinionated about where they fit in the craft
• Comfortable leading through ambiguity with minimal infrastructure and incomplete information
• Digital marketing domain knowledge
• Real estate domain knowledge (ex: rentals, multifamily, single family, etc.)
• This role is open to candidates located within the United States
• Start-up to scale-up (50-200 people) experience
• First-design-leader or founding-designer experience
• Experience designing AI features customers rely on (summaries, recommendations, conversational interfaces) and the trust and explainability patterns around them
