• Take ownership of design operations, rituals and culture, helping shape how design is perceived and practiced across the business
• Lay the foundations for future scale! This is the perfect role for someone who enjoys building for what’s next

You’ll be a great fit if you

• Love balancing hands-on design work with coaching and mentoring
• Are comfortable working in fast-paced, iterative product environments (ideally with experience in a startup or scale-up)

Bonus point
