The Role
We're looking for a Head of Product Design to lead and grow our Product Design team. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who combines exceptional UI craft with the strategic vision to shape how our platform looks, feels, and works, for both the brands and the creators who use it daily.
You'll own the design vision across the entire Superfiliate ecosystem: the core SaaS platform, the creator-facing experience, co-branded landing pages, automations, and emerging product areas like AI-driven creator discovery. You'll manage a team of product designers, establish design systems and processes, and partner closely with Product, Engineering, and the founding team to ship work that moves the business forward.
What You'll Do
Lead & Grow the Team
- Manage, mentor, and develop a team of product designers, running 1:1s, design critiques, career development conversations, and feedback cycles.
- Build a high-performance design culture rooted in craft, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
- Own hiring for Product Design roles as the team scales, setting a high bar for visual quality and design thinking.
- Create clarity around roles, responsibilities, and growth paths within the design team.
Drive Design Excellence
- Set and maintain a high standard for UI quality across all product surfaces, every pixel matters.
- Own and evolve the Superfiliate design system, ensuring consistency, scalability, and a premium feel across the platform.
- Stay deeply involved in the craft: review work, push the team on visual quality, and lead by example on complex or high-stakes projects.
- Champion design as a strategic differentiator and advocate for the user experience at the leadership table.
Shape Product Strategy
- Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to translate business goals into design direction and roadmap priorities.
- Lead discovery and ideation for new product areas, from creator-brand matching to automation workflows.
- Facilitate cross-functional alignment through strong communication, documentation, and shared design artifacts.
Pioneer AI-Augmented Design Workflows
- Introduce and champion AI-powered tools and workflows across the design team, from prototyping and asset generation to design-to-code handoff.
- Evaluate and integrate tools like Cursor, Claude, Figma AI, and other emerging AI capabilities into daily design practice.
- Build a team culture that embraces experimentation with AI as a force multiplier, not a threat.
- Develop best practices and playbooks for AI-assisted design workflows that increase speed and quality without compromising craft.
What We're Looking For
Must-Have
- 5+ years of product design experience, with at least 1–2 years managing or leading a design team.
- An exceptional portfolio that demonstrates outstanding UI taste, visual craft, and attention to detail across web and/or SaaS products.
- Proven experience building, mentoring, and scaling product design teams in a fast-paced startup or growth-stage environment.
- Deep fluency in Figma and modern design tooling, with the ability to work across the full spectrum from research and wireframes to pixel-perfect UI.
- Strong systems thinking, experience building or significantly evolving a design system.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a track record of partnering effectively with Product and Engineering.
- A bias for action and comfort with ambiguity. You thrive in environments where you're building the plane while flying it.
Strong Differentiators
- Active adoption of AI tools in your design workflow (e.g., Cursor, Claude, Midjourney, Figma AI plugins, or similar). You don't just follow the trend, you're helping define what AI-augmented design practice looks like.
- Experience designing for creator economy, e-commerce, marketplace, or B2B2C platforms.
- Familiarity with front-end development concepts, enough to collaborate fluidly with engineers and evaluate design-to-code fidelity.
- Experience working with distributed teams across multiple time zones.
- Comfort designing for both power-user back-office tools and consumer-grade creator experiences.
Language
English is our working language. We're looking for an intermediate-to-professional level of English, enough to communicate clearly in writing, participate in meetings, and collaborate across teams. It doesn't need to be perfect. Half of our team is Brazilian, and we value clear communication over flawless grammar.

- Work alongside a founding team that deeply values product quality and UX as drivers of growth.
