Senior Manager, Product Design
Buyers Edge Platform
• Hold and evolve the long-term product design vision for Back Office in close partnership with the Director of Product, Director of Engineering, and Back Office executive stakeholders • Advocate for users in strategic roadmap discussions—bringing user insight into the room, not just into the deliverables • Bring design to the leadership table as a peer, not a service function; articulate design’s role in driving product outcomes and build conviction across stakeholders • Define what design excellence looks like for Back Office and hold the team accountable to that standard • Build the process, rhythm, and shared ownership model that helps the team grow a component library intentionally over time • Establish a phased documentation plan that makes steady progress without pulling designers off product work • Define contribution norms so designers work with the library consistently—adding to it thoughtfully rather than around it • Partner with engineering to reduce implementation drift and build shared language around design system decisions • Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering leadership to shape roadmap priorities, ensure design intent translates into implementation quality, and represent design in leadership discussions • Define and track design quality metrics that matter to the business—and build a habit of presenting outcomes, not just deliverables, to leadership • Champion AI-assisted workflows that help your team move faster without sacrificing quality • Manage, mentor, and inspire a team of product designers - providing design direction and raising the quality bar through regular critiques and hands-on partnership • Create an environment where designers have clarity, space, and confidence to do their best work
