## About the role

As Senior Design Manager, you'll lead a team of four designers across these three connected product areas, going deep enough on the domain (AI training and development workflows, evaluations, GPU infrastructure, agent debugging) to raise the quality bar, sharpen the product point of view, and mentor the team already doing this work. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years in product design roles, with 3+ years in a design management or leadership position
- Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product design ownership and deep domain expertise in at least one complex area
- Demonstrated ability to take an existing product area and visibly uplevel its craft and product ownership
- Strong communication and influence skills, able to partner effectively with senior-level PMs and Engineers
- Experience designing complex, data-heavy products
- Capability to prototype and ship directly in code (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar), and comfort leading a team that works the same way
