Product Design Director

$180k–$230k base, 0.4–0.8% equity, remote in the US, 2 days/month in San Francisco

Why now

Employers now read interviews instead of resumes, so this year we are rebuilding the employer side of Stori around them. Design decides whether that works.

Initial deliverables you will be accountable for

• By 90 days: Establish a weekly critique and plan for the employer view.
• By 6 months: Ship the employer view.
• By 12 months: Ensure the design system is used by all engineers without prompting and hire one senior designer.
• By 3 years: Build a design team of five that owns the product roadmap with product.

What will stretch you

The team has to go from a half-built design system to a fully integrated one used by all engineers, while managing roadmap changes and founder-driven priorities.

The team you will lead

Lead two designers, Priya and Tom, and report to the CEO. Peers include the heads of engineering and product. The team is part of an eleven-person company.

Who gets this role

Has led at least three designers through a product rebuild and shipped it. Designed a two-sided product where each side sees something different. Proven ability to win roadmap arguments with product leads. Experience in a small company environment working directly with founders. If this does not describe you exactly, note that we will keep the role open until we find the person it does.

Where it leads

This is the first design lead Stori has hired; the role grows into head of design as the team reaches five.
