About the role
- You will manage and mentor a pod of four product designers covering BetterUp's core coaching experiences across member, partner, and coach surfaces.
- This is a player-coach role-you run design operations for your pod while maintaining craft standards across your area.
- Your pod owns four interconnected surface areas: Partner experience (Partner Hub, Performance Intelligence, and Buyer), Individual coaching (Manage, Lead, and Ready), Group coaching (Dare to Lead, Guided Journey, and Team tooling), and Coach experience (the professional platform coaches use to manage their practice).
Responsibilities
- Manage and develop four direct reports across multiple time zones, with consistent 1:1s, actionable feedback, and individualized growth support
- Run design operations for your pod: review cadence, Figma hygiene, handoff standards, and sprint participation
- Ensure design is in the room at kickoff-before the PRD is written, not after
- Partner directly with VP Product counterparts for Partner, Coach, and Member pods to align on priorities and tradeoffs
- Surface experience quality issues across your surfaces and bring them to weekly design review
- Contribute to team-wide rituals: cross-pod critiques, design jams, and quarterly dogfooding
- taste and collaboration with growth, core, AI, and design systems teams matter
- 7+ years of product design experience, including people management experience
- Strong systems thinking-the surfaces you own span B2B, B2C, and two-sided interactions
- A track record of getting design upstream, not just executing on PM direction
Skills
- Model openness to AI-powered change and encourage teammates to try new ways of working
