Being a Dialer At Dialpad, AI isn’t just a feature; it’s how our teams do their best work every day. We put powerful AI tools in every employee’s hands so they can move faster, think bigger, and achieve more. We believe every conversation matters. And we’ve built the platform that turns those conversations into insight and action, for our customers and ourselves. We look for people who are intensely curious and hold themselves to a high bar. Our ambition is significant, and achieving it requires a team that operates at the highest level. We seek individuals who embody our core traits: Scrappy, Curious, Optimistic, Persistent, and Empathetic . Your role Help build the future of AI-powered business communications at Dialpad. The Dialpad Design team is an integral part of Dialpad’s success. We’re assembling a world-class team of curious problem-solvers who are passionate about keeping humans first in this new age of AI. We believe that great design is a strategic differentiator for Dialpad, but that differentiation doesn’t just happen. It takes a dedicated, collaborative team that works hard to advance Dialpad’s mission to empower businesses and their people to be wildly successful while doing career-defining work. We’re looking for a Design Manager who leads as a true player/coach. This means that while you draw the best work out of the designers you manage—critiquing, mentoring, unblocking, and pushing them forward—you also take on work yourself. You know the craft well enough to teach it, and you're strong enough to demonstrate it when the moment calls for it. You don’t hide behind management. You’ll lead a team of product designers working across our ecosystem, shared services, and integrations areas—the connective tissue that makes Dialpad work with the rest of our customers’ tools and workflows. This is a high-leverage area: every customer touches it, the design problems are often the hardest in the product, and the work directly shapes how AI capabilities extend across the broader business communications landscape. This role is a great fit for someone who gets energy from both sides of the job—developing people and shaping pixels—and who sees AI not as a theme to reference but as a medium to design in. As our first design management hire in London, you’ll also be a foundational member of our growing Design team.
