  • Recognized presence in the design community — through speaking engagements, contributions, or publications.
  • Ability to inspire, mentor, and develop design leaders, fostering a culture of excellence and accountability.
  • Passion for building inclusive, user-first products and empowering design teams to think boldly.
  • Bonus Points If You:

  • Have experience in fast-paced, product-led environments (e.g., SaaS, enterprise, or consumer tech).
