Head of Design

About us 👇🏼

lemlist is the sales engagement platform that gives sales teams the unfair advantage they deserve.
Bootstrapped since day one, we’ve grown from 0 to $35M ARR in 6 years, without raising a single dollar.
Today, we’re a profitable B2B SaaS company valued at $150M, trusted by 40,000+ sales teams worldwide to book more meetings and close more deals.

As Head of Design at lemlist, you’ll lead and scale our design team across product, and user experience.
