What we’re looking for

As a Lead Growth Designer, you will set the design vision for the Growth organization, acting as a strategic partner to Product and Engineering leadership. You will move beyond individual execution to orchestrate the end-to-end user experience strategy for critical business levers, including activation, monetization, retention, and virality.

While you will remain a hands-on contributor, your role is to elevate the growth design practice across the company. You will translate complex business goals into a cohesive, long-term experience strategy while maintaining the velocity required for rigorous experimentation. You will be responsible for architecting design patterns that span multiple product areas, ensuring that our growth motions (paywalls, onboarding, cross-sells) feel native and additive to the user journey.

Reporting to the Sr. Growth Design Manager, you will serve as a technical lead and mentor, coaching senior and mid-level designers to refine their craft and strategic thinking. You will be the bridge between data and empathy, ensuring that our pursuit of metrics never compromises the integrity or inclusivity of the user experience.

What you’ll be working on

• You’ll be architecting the long-term vision. Instead of just running isolated A/B tests, you will define the holistic design strategy for the entire growth ecosystem. You will create a seamless narrative for how users onboard, upgrade, and adopt features over time.
• You’ll be shaping the strategic roadmap. You will partner directly with Directors of Product and Engineering to decide what we test, not just how. You will use user research and data to identify high-leverage opportunities that define our strategic direction.
• You’ll be building the engine for experimentation. You will establish the design frameworks that allow us to test rapidly at scale. Your goal will be to strike the perfect balance between speed (Minimum Viable Tests) and maintaining a cohesive, high-quality design system.
• You’ll be translating data into design. You will synthesize complex multivariate testing and cohort analysis into clear design principles. You will focus on turning those hard numbers into human-centric insights that drive measurable business outcomes.

We’d love to hear from people with

• 10+ years of product design experience, with a significant portion (4+ years) specifically in PLG or high-velocity B2B/SaaS environments.
• Strong portfolio that demonstrates not just UI execution, but high-level systems thinking. It must showcase:Leadership of complex, cross-product initiatives.Deep experience with A/B testing cycles and experimentation frameworks.Measurable business outcomes (e.g., significant lift in ARR, retention, or activation) tied to design strategy.
• Expert-level fluency in interpreting funnel metrics and statistical significance. You can comfortably debate the nuances of test data with Data Scientists and Product Managers. Experience with tools like Amplitude, Mixpanel, or Tableau is essential.
• Proven ability to create and scale design systems that support rapid experimentation. Expert-level skills in Figma.
• Experience leading design strategy without formal authority. You have a track record of influencing senior executives (VP/Director level) and aligning diverse stakeholders around a shared vision.

The base pay provided for this position ranges from $174,250.00 / year - $205,000.00 / year depending on the geographic market and assuming a full-time schedule. Actual base pay is based on a number of factors including market location, job-related knowledge, education or training, skills, and experience.
