Manager of Product Design

Do you ever wonder what happens inside the cloud?

Headquartered in New York but based around the world, DigitalOcean is a dynamic, high-growth technology company that serves a robust and passionate community of developers around the world. Our mission is to simplify cloud computing for every developer. We are working on solving some of the most challenging and interesting technology projects around, on a scale unmatched by most.

We want people who are passionate about creating simple experiences in a complex world.

Reporting to the Senior Manager of Product Design, the Product Design Manager will manage a team of Product Designers to create simple, compelling, and elegant user experiences across the DigitalOcean platform. You are a practitioner, mentor, and a guide for a team of individuals just as passionate about creating an environment where they can have a real impact both within the company and in the developer community.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Overseeing Product Design work for a subset of our products.
• Maintaining consistent high standards for both visual output and user experience within our core products.
• Driving best practices in both Agile and traditional Product Design/UX Methodology as appropriate for multiple products in the portfolio.
• Working collaboratively with other design managers, engineering, marketing, and product management to achieve consistency across touchpoints and support the execution of our core products.
• Hiring, developing, mentoring, and providing performance feedback to your team.

What You'll Add to DigitalOcean:

• Significant experience designing for a complex online environment while executing effective team leadership.
• Hands-on experience designing B2B, SaaS, Open Source and/or workflow-management products not required, but a plus.
• A relentless focus on standards, consistency, and high-quality visual and experience design
• Experience driving best-practices around discovery methodologies and how to best translate them into design decisions.
• A track record of managing a high-performing design team, developing talent, and delivering results in a dynamic environment.
• Ability to collaborate with engineering teams on a highly technical product and advocate for a developer-centric customer base.
• Ability to run productive meetings, create effective and useful product design documents, and maintain alignment across a complex product portfolio.

Why You’ll Like Working for DigitalOcean:

• We value development. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We are a high-performance organization that is always challenging ourselves to continuously grow. We maintain a growth mindset in everything we do and invest deeply in employee development through formalized mentorship, LinkedIn Learning tracks, and other internal programs. We also provide all employees with reimbursement for relevant conferences, training, and education.
• We care about your physical, financial and mental well-being. We offer competitive health, dental, and vision benefits for employees and their dependents, a monthly gym stipend to support your physical health, and a commute or internet allowance to make your trips to your office or your desk easier. We offer generous parental leave with transition time built-in upon return to work. We offer competitive compensation and a 401k plan with up to a 4% employer match. 
• We support our remote employee experience. While we have great office spaces in NYC and Cambridge, we’re very distributed—we use a number of communication tools to connect across the company—and all remote employees have the opportunity to visit our offices and meet their teams face-to-face at team offsites. We also have an annual company offsite, Shark Week, to get quality in-person time with the entire company at least once a year. We also allow employees to outfit their workstations to meet their needs—whether remote or in office.
• We value diversity and inclusivity. We are an equal opportunity employer and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
