About The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Design Manager to lead our design teams, including UI/UX research, interaction and visual design. You will expand and perfect our in-house design process, make our product understandable and actionable, mentor and grow a talented team of product designers, and drive visual and UX design, content strategy and user research across the company in the pursuit of consistent and high quality experiences. We’re growing quickly, and we think this is a dream job for a world class design leader.

What You’ll Do

• Firmly establish design as one of Cameo’s core competencies. Cultivate a culture of innovation that welcomes new ideas.
• Build a world class team, composed of diverse backgrounds and skillsets. Sharpen their craft and deepen their impact, set clear goals, manage project loads, and ensure high-quality deliverables. Empower growth and support design decisions across the board.
• Establish several Golden Processes and high output internal programs, such as better dogfooding, design reviews, user research and concepting processes.

• Provide leadership to align Cameo's product, brand, and marketing efforts into one consistent look, feel, and message.
• Bring scientific rigor to design, UX, and quality at Cameo. We can't measure everything, but you have been a leader in illustrating to the team how relentless focus on the user experience leads to measurable value for our users and Cameo.
• Update our tools, processes, and design system to demonstrably make each designer on the team more productive. You’ll ensure the team’s workflows are allowing them to deliver their best work and are set up to scale.
• Obsess over the customer and inject user feedback into Cameo's veins daily. You’ll evangelize user-focused design across the organization in stakeholder meetings and ensure we’re building an experience our users love across platforms.
