Head of Design

Lexagle is looking for a Head of Design to lead, structure, and scale our design function. You'll set direction, build the processes that keep quality consistent, and turn design impact into a story the rest of the business can act on — with enough craft and creative range to know what good design looks like.
What we’re looking for
Design vision & direction - A clear point of view on where the product should go, backed by the conviction to turn work down when it doesn't serve that direction
Process & control - Builds systems the team can't slip through by accident, so quality holds even when nobody's watching closely
Craft, quality & creativity - An eye sharp enough to catch what's wrong and a range strong enough to make it better, always in service of the direction set above
Metrics & business fluency - Sets and defends the numbers that prove design is working, in language the business actually trusts
Talent judgment & team building - Spots strong design on sight, and knows how to turn it into a strong team
Key Responsibilities
Design vision & direction
Own the product experience point of view — where it's headed and why, not just what ships next sprint
Translate that direction into decisions through a UI/UX roadmap: which requests get built, which get pushed back, and on what grounds
Keep vision and phase-gate criteria in sync
Function architecture & process governance
Own and refine the design operating model across design functions: UX Research, Design System, Product Design.
Define phase-gate criteria — routing triggers, EDV thresholds, when Discovery and Strategy collapse
Run the review cadence that catches problems before they reach Engineering or the user
Quality control & craft assurance
Own the quality standard — every shipped feature checked against a defined bar
Build repeatable checklists and review gates, not one-off judgment calls
Raise the creative bar where it matters — push for stronger ideas and sharper execution, without loosening the standard
Audit shipped work against the five design principles to catch drift early
Metrics, goals & performance management
Design and defend the KPI system for the function
Own the delivery tracking system end-to-end — data integrity, calibration, reconciliation
Set goals per role that reflect what that role actually controls
Team structure & development
Own role definitions, career growth, and the coaching model across design roles
Run structural interventions with clear ownership
Requirements
7–10+ years in product design, ideally with 2–3+ years leading a design function
Has designed process/governance systems before, not just operated inside one
Experience in KPI/metrics system, preferably some experience building it
A strong personal craft foundation, with enough hands-on design experience to judge and elevate others' work, not just administer process around it
Translates design into business language for non-design executives and stakeholders
Enterprise SaaS or B2B platform expertise strongly preferred
What we offer
A dynamic and inclusive work environment that encourages innovation and values diverse perspectives
Opportunities for rapid career progression and professional development
Access to a global network of industry leaders, thought partners, and cutting-edge resources
Competitive compensation package, including performance-based bonuses and comprehensive benefits
The chance to make a meaningful impact on some of the world's most sophisticated organizations
