🚀 About the Role

We’re hiring a Director of Product Design to lead a small, fast-moving design team and define how marketers work with AI.

This is a player-coach role for someone who has built and grown high-performing design teams without losing their obsession with craft — from typography to interaction rhythm to information hierarchy. You’ll lead from the front, prototyping, vibe coding, and shipping alongside the team.

📋 What You Will Do at Jasper

Own and guide Jasper’s design strategy, setting the vision for how enterprise marketing teams work with AI
Maintain the highest standards of visual and interaction design across the product, ensuring polish and consistency for enterprise customers
Lead a small, high-velocity design team as a player-coach — coaching while staying hands-on with prototyping and vibe coding using tools like Cursor and Claude Code
Collaborate with Product and Engineering leaders to evolve how Jasper builds software with AI
Accelerate and define AI-first design workflows and design-to-front-end pipelines
Extend Jasper’s design system and improve coding agents’ ability to use the right components and patterns
Partner with leadership to define problems worth solving and shape roadmaps that deliver customer outcomes
Build a high-trust, inclusive, feedback-driven design culture that values autonomy, learning, and accountability
Establish and run craft rituals (design critiques, reviews) to elevate quality
Coach and support designers in career growth, fostering both craft and leadership development
Play a key role in hiring, onboarding, and scaling the design organization

✅ What You Will Bring

8+ years of product design experience with a portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual craft and end-to-end product thinking
4+ years leading and managing design teams in high-growth SaaS or product-led environments
A genuine player-coach mindset: able to lead and uplevel a team while staying hands-on
Demonstrated experience building AI-first design workflows and pipelines, with fluency in AI-native tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, v0) and real shipped work
Proven ability to build and govern coherent design systems with enterprise-level polish
Outstanding UI and visual design judgment (typography, color, layout, spacing, hierarchy)
Working knowledge of front-end code (HTML, CSS, React/JSX) and fluency with Figma
Experience designing for AI-native or AI-augmented products, with understanding of unique UX challenges (non-deterministic outputs, prompt interfaces, copilot patterns, trust/transparency)
Background in B2B or enterprise SaaS; AI-native or marketing-adjacent product experience a plus
Pragmatic mindset balancing design ideals with business reality and engineering constraints
Excellent communication skills, able to articulate design rationale and influence across stakeholders
