Job Description
Design Manager
Planning Center
Role Description Planning Center makes software that helps churches help people — and the people who run those churches are real, busy, and deserve tools that actually work. Our Design Managers are responsible for both the people and the work: - Lead a team of Product Designers, setting the design direction in alignment with other areas of the company. - Partner with your Area Triad (Product Manager and Senior Engineering Manager) to shape priorities and development. - Stay close enough to the craft to raise the bar on what ships. Responsibilities - Lead and develop a team of Product Designers through regular 1:1s, feedback, performance conversations, and growth planning. - Partner with your Area Triad (PM and ENG lead) to define design strategy and turn business goals into clear design direction. - Set and hold a high bar for design craft. Give feedback that is specific, grounded, and connected to the user. - Step in to do hands-on design work when the team needs support or additional bandwidth. - Run design reviews, crits, and stakeholder conversations that move work forward with the right people in the room. - Coach designers to form a clear point of view and own their problem space, rather than waiting for direction. - Hire and onboard new designers as the team grows. - Contribute to the evolution of Planning Center's design system and push for cross-product consistency. - Establish and refine design processes that scale with team growth and product complexity. - Model thoughtful use of AI tools and help your team build real confidence using them. Qualifications - 3+ years leading a team of product designers, including hiring, coaching, and performance management. - Experience partnering in a product trio or cross-functional structure to set direction and make trade-offs. - A track record of shaping ambiguous problems alongside product and engineering -- not just executing well-scoped design work. - Strong design craft with the ability to set a high bar and give feedback that raises others' work. - Clear, confident communicator in writing, in conversation, and in cross-functional stakeholder settings. - Fluency in Figma and a curiosity about where design tools and practice are heading. Nice to Have - Experience contributing to a design system or working closely with a design systems team. - Background as an IC product designer before moving into management. - Familiarity with church management software or the faith-based sector. - Experience integrating AI-assisted design tools into your own workflow and helping your team do the same. Who We Look For The best fits for any role on the Planning Center team are people embodying our Core Values: - Engage with Humility - We actively participate with openness and receptiveness. - Invest in our team - We give our time and energy to our team’s success. - Do Our Best Work - We aspire to do our best possible work. - Focus on Customer Impact - We advocate for our customer’s best interests. - Think Holistically, Work Iteratively - We focus on taking practical steps towards our goals. The Hiring Process During the hiring process, you’ll have a chance to interact with several members of our team. We want this process to feel clear, respectful, and human. - Step One: Apply with a resume and complete the application questions. - Step Two: Initial phone screen with someone from our Talent Acquisition team. - Step Three: Interview with Design Managers and the Director of Product Design. - Step Four: Interview with team members from Engineering and Product. - Step Five: Final interview with the Director of Product Design. - Step Six: Pending all goes well, we'll extend an offer. Compensation & Logistics - This is a US-based role; candidates must reside in and be authorized to work in the United States. - Candidates must be willing to travel three times each year to connect with the rest of the team. - The annual salary range for this position is $198,000 - $225,000. Benefits - Competitive pay no matter where you live. - 401(k) contributions and charitable giving match of up to $2,000 per year. - Generous allowance for continued education and coworking stipend. - Generous paid sick and vacation time, $200 per month for physical fitness and mental health. - 95% medical plus 100% dental premium coverage. - Paid Fridays off year-round. - Month-long sabbatical every five years and a week off between Christmas and New Year’s. - One week each year to serve with a globally focused non-profit. - Two weeks of paid vacation (increasing to three over time).
