Craft is seeking an experienced Director of Design to lead our entire design function across product, marketing and user research.

Candidates should be based out of one of our US Hub cities - San Francisco, Seattle, or Austin.

Manage our preexisting team of four product designers, providing them with feedback, structure, coaching, and mentorship.

Grow the team strategically as the company grows, maintaining appropriate balances among skills, personalities, and levels. Hire and manage product designers, marketing designers, user researchers, and managers.

Collaborate with Product Management, Engineering, and go-to-market teams to develop product strategy and prioritization rooted in data, user research, and market understanding.

Participate in pragmatic trade-offs among experience, feasibility, and business needs.

Shape Craft’s design culture (within and beyond the design team) to ensure our products are useful and usable for a defined target market.

Evolve Craft's end-to-end product/marketing process toward usable, useful, well-designed output - rooted in a deep knowledge of techniques for ideation, creation, research, and evaluation.

Infuse our product strategy and process with design thinking: make abstract blue-sky ideas concrete, facilitate workshops and ideations, unlock team creativity, disseminate detailed understanding of users, and so on.

Develop a deep understanding of our domain—supply-chain management—and the people in it in order to serve as a bridge between the user and the product.
