Sr Director, Product Design - Infrastructure, Applications, and Runtime

US (Remote); #LI-Remote

 

Meet the Team

The Product Design teams for Infrastructure (Terraform, Packer), Applications (Waypoint), and Runtime (Consul) design usable and integrated experiences for HashiCorp's customers and open-source community. We have a strong, collaborative partnership with Product Managers, Engineers, and Researchers to develop the strategy and build compelling enterprise cloud solutions. You will benefit from a large, growing Engineering Product Design (EPD) organization. 

What We Do

We are building product experience to deliver value to our customers in a holistic way that allows our end users to unlock cross-product use cases, operational efficiencies, and simplified consumption of our products. We support a larger portfolio of products, including one of HashiCorp’s most used products, Terraform.

What You’ll Do

As the Sr. Director of Design you will work closely with the VP of Product Management and Engineering, be a member of the leadership team, and drive vision and strategy together. 

You will lead and inspire a team of designers, helping them see how their unique contributions connect to the bigger picture. You understand that our success depends on the team's success, and you are proactive about encouraging, coaching, and offering constructive feedback.

You'll remold the team from reactive to strategic, helping us chart a course for what our users expect from a best-in-class User Experience today and tomorrow. You'll uphold a high craft bar in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment and guide the team in continuing to push that bar higher.

You'll leverage your experience in technical enterprise products, leading design teams of ICs directly and through first-line management, and partnering with PM and Engineering teams to emphasize a workflow-first design. You are expected to understand and embrace complex technical problems and drive a vision to solve them with design. Additionally, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of a design team, including driving career development, empowering innovative design, and enabling a design lens to product discussions.

Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
