Head of Product Design

We are looking for a pragmatic, delivery-focused Head of Product Design to lead our product design function across web and mobile platforms. The ideal candidate is a "maker-leader" who prioritizes business objectives, data-driven outcomes, and operational efficiency over purely conceptual or aesthetic design.

As a Head of Product Design you will be responsible for:

1. Strategic Leadership & Operational Planning:

• Quarterly Alignment: Direct the design function in accordance with quarterly business planning, ensuring design resources are allocated to the highest-priority initiatives.
• Resource Optimization: Develop and manage a flexible, cross-functional team structure. You will be responsible for ensuring high resource utilization, preventing "silos," and ensuring no team member remains idle while high-priority projects require support.
• Delivery Management: own the design pipeline, from discovery to delivery, ensuring predictable and high-quality results.

2. Data Ownership & Conversion Analysis:

• Performance Accountability: Take ownership of the product’s performance metrics. You are expected to be deeply curious about user behavior and business impact.
• Analytics Integration: Proactively utilize data analytics tools (e.g., Looker) to monitor funnels, identify conversion drops, and surface UX friction points.
• Evidence-Based Iteration: Translate quantitative data into actionable design improvements, prioritizing results and measurable growth over subjective design preferences.

3. AI Integration & Workflow Transformation:

• Driving AI Adoption: Lead the transition toward an AI-augmented design process. You will be expected to identify, implement, and mandate the use of AI tools (e.g., UI generators, automated documentation, AI research tools) to significantly increase the team's output.
• Efficiency Engineering: Continuously evaluate and optimize the design lifecycle to reduce manual overhead and accelerate "time-to-market."

4. Technical Excellence & Design Systems:

• Native Mobile Expertise: Provide expert-level oversight for Native Mobile App design (iOS and Android), ensuring strict adherence to platform patterns and high-performance UX standards.
• Marketing Agility: Demonstrate proficiency in Webflow or similar landing page builders to facilitate the rapid deployment of high-converting marketing assets.
• Scalable Architecture: Oversee the evolution of a utilitarian design system focused on consistency, engineering speed, and scalability.

Requirements:

• A minimum of 3 years of formal managerial experience leading design teams in high-growth, result-oriented environments.
• A proven track record of shipping complex native mobile applications and high-performing web products.
• Hands-on experience navigating BI dashboards (e.g., Looker) and a history of making design decisions based on conversion data.
• A professional philosophy that prioritizes delivery, business ROI, and functional excellence over "artistic" or conceptual exploration.
• Proven ability to resolve cross-functional friction between Design, Engineering, and QA to ensure a seamless delivery pipeline.
• Good knowledge of Latvian, as well as English language as the company is international and has foreign employees and partners, and the nature of the work requires close cooperation with them.

With us you will:

• Be a part of a top-tier team, work on projects that reach millions worldwide, and create complex in-house products and solutions;
• Learn and exchange ideas in lectures and workshops led by colleagues and team leads;
• Get health benefits: fully covered health insurance after end of the trial period (dentistry, out-patient treatment, mental health, medicine, etc.), well-being activities, vaccination days;
• Enjoy employee discount programs and have fun at monthly internal activities and celebrations;
• Work from a modern and well-equipped office in the center of Riga, with parking space for bikes and scooters, fresh fruits and coffee on a daily basis.
