Front is looking for someone who can keep our product beautiful, our team growing, and our users from ever wanting to see a "traditional" inbox again. As a hands-on leader, you don’t just manage, but inspire, build, and obsess over Design. You lead by example. You will be the driving force behind defining how we use new AI tools to work - from evolving our design system to creating beautiful and getting feedback from customers.
Who you are: Practical Leader : You thrive in a complex product (queues, routing/assignment, rules/automation, analytics) and make them feel fast, clear and intuitive. Design System Advocate : Lead the evolution of our design system. Move Front towards a cutting-edge, AI-centric approach that allow designers and engineers to better collaborate and ship 2-3X faster. AI-First Design: Move from concept to code quickly by building high-fidelity prototypes that leverage AI to accelerate development. You aren’t just using new tools to iterate faster; you’re defining the new standards for how AI-driven experiences should feel without compromising on the quality. Design Quality Bar Champion: You define what “good” is and how design continues to be a key differentiator. You get to the heart of an issue when making a design decision, connecting it back to an insight, not just a vibe.
