What We’re Looking For
We want to speak to experienced Design Operations experts with solid backgrounds working across design operations, product design and program management, ideally within a tech environment. 

Proven experience scaling design operations across multi-brand teams is key here, as is a strong understanding of UX and product design principles, and proficiency with design collaboration tools like Figma and Jira. 

We need someone who has confidence managing senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams, a collaborative worker who is just as able to drive projects and day-to-day responsibilities independently, too.

A more diverse team is a more creative team.
It’s our job to build teams of people, and we’re proud to bring together a global network of diverse talent.

All applicants will be considered without regard to race, nationality, religious persuasion, sexual orientation, sex, marital or parental status, physical ability, gender, or age.
