Description

We are looking for a Product Design Lead to take ownership of UX quality across Imagen’s product.

  • This is a hands-on leadership role, not a full people-management position.
  • You will define UX standards, build foundations, mentor designers, and directly contribute to meaningful product work alongside product and engineering.
  • You will take a central role in shaping the UX direction of Imagen’s product as it evolves into a broader, more complex platform.

Why Join Us?

  • Real ownership over a category-defining product.
  • Direct impact on product quality and company direction.
  • Small team, high leverage, high standards.
  • Close collaboration with product, engineering, and leadership.
  • A role designed for builders.
  • If you’re excited by complex product problems, care deeply about UX quality, and want to lead by doing it just might fit you.

Responsibilities

Own product UX quality:

  • Take end-to-end responsibility for the user experience across our apps.
  • Lead design and UX reviews with a high professional bar.
  • Contribute hands-on to core product initiatives.

Build foundations:

  • Define UX principles, standards, and decision frameworks.
  • Build and evolve the design system, patterns, and guidelines.
  • Create consistency and clarity across a growing product surface area.
  • Partner closely with Product Managers and Engineering to shape solutions.

Lead by example:

  • Mentor and professionally guide a small team of product designers.
  • Provide clear, actionable critique focused on structure, hierarchy, and user goals.
  • Own design quality and prioritization within the design team.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in product design.
  • Deep UX and system-thinking skills, beyond visual polish.
  • Proven experience leading complex product areas hands-on.
  • Experience building or owning design systems or UX standards.
  • Strong product and business understanding.
  • Comfortable making UX decisions with incomplete data and real-world constraints.
  • Preference for hands-on work over people management.
