Responsibilities
- Build & Lead High-Performing Teams: Recruit, mentor, and retain a world-class team of designers. You'll be responsible for their career growth, providing coaching on both craft and navigational "soft" skills to help them scale their impact.
- Champion Design Excellence: Ensure all team deliverables meet the highest standards of craft, usability, and visual consistency across the product.

- Evangelize Design Culture: Act as a primary advocate for Design across Rubrik.
- You'll bridge the gap between technical complexity (cybersecurity, AI, infrastructure) and consumer-grade usability, ensuring that "Design" is seen as a business differentiator, not just a service.
- Deepen Customer-Centricity: Lead the team in cultivating direct customer relationships. You'll ensure that research and validation are core components of the design cycle, keeping us grounded in real-world enterprise problems.
- Strategic Portfolio: A portfolio that showcases not just beautiful UI, but your ability to lead teams through complex problem-solving, organizational shifts, and successful product launches.
- Business Acumen: The ability to speak the language of PMs and Engineers. You understand how design decisions impact the bottom line and technical debt.
