About the role
- As the team scales, this role is on a path to grow into a broader leadership remit over time.
- The hard part isn't adding another pair of hands; it's the leadership to raise the whole team's ceiling - coaching senior designers, holding the craft bar, and turning scattered effort into shipped, coherent product.
- This role exists to be that multiplier: a player-coach close enough to the work to model the standard, and generous enough to grow the people who carry it.
Responsibilities
- This is a player-coach role: you'll manage, coach, and develop a small team of senior designers while staying hands-on with design yourself, personally owning some of the hardest or most ambiguous problems.
- As a member of the Design leadership team, you'll help define how Linktree scales design as the company grows.
- Why This Role Matters A consumer product at this scale is made or broken by design.
- What You'll Own Lead, coach, and develop a team of senior individual-contributor designers.
- Stay hands-on as a player-coach - personally owning and shipping design work on the highest-leverage or most ambiguous problems.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, and Marketing leaders to align design with business priorities.
- Own hiring and team composition for your area, adapting as the business and the team scale.
- Establish and evolve craft standards, critique practices, and design operating rhythms for the team.
- Represent design in cross-functional forums, translating design work into business impact.
- Proven track record of shipping high-quality design within a consumer product or creator / marketplace platform.
Requirements
- Strong craft judgment and the ability to give - and model - high-leverage feedback.
Compensation
- $250k-$290k
Benefits
- You'll set design vision and craft standards for your area, partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Marketing, and be accountable for both the quality of your team's work and your own.
- Set design vision and craft direction for your area, ensuring quality and consistency across your team's work.
