About the role
- Thanks for stopping by 👋 Are you actively looking for a new opportunity?
- Well… you might just be in the right place!
- Behind every beautifully stocked store is an invisible web of buying, selling, and planning between brands and retailers.
Responsibilities
- Raise the bar on quality through direction, critique, and hands-on involvement - making the work visibly better and building a shared standard the whole team designs against.
- Lead designers directly as a coach and player-coach: setting clear goals, giving sharp feedback, growing people into confident, independent contributors, and knowing when to jump in yourself.
- Turn ambiguity into momentum by taking loosely defined strategic bets and shaping them into clear design direction and phased, shippable work.
- Partner as equal with Product and Engineering leadership to shape the roadmap - making sure design informs decisions before they're made, not after.
- Build a healthy, high-performing team - managing capacity and priorities honestly, recognizing great work, and making the design team a place strong people want to join and stay.
- 12+ years of product design experience, including significant work on complex, multi-sided platforms - B2B, marketplaces, or commerce.
- 7+ years leading design teams, with a track record of raising both the quality of the work and the capability of the people.
- Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and shape strategy through clear communication and tangible design work.
- A habit of asking "why are we building this at all?" - deep curiosity about product strategy, not just execution.
- We're looking for a Director of Product Design to lead design for Lightspeed Wholesale (NuORDER) - the B2B platform where the world's leading brands and retailers do business together.
Requirements
- Experience navigating ambiguity and change while keeping a team focused, motivated, and shipping.
