About the role

You'll lead a team of designers at various stages of their careers across cloud, code and data security, turning an overwhelming amount of signal into something a security team can act on. The goal: build the security product people want to spend their day in. You'll own the design, push for excellence, and partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership to get there. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years in design, including experience leading and growing high-performing teams
  • A design leader first: a user advocate with a sharp eye for detail, strong taste and the willingness to get into the work and give direct feedback
  • A track record of leveling up a team's output, with before-and-after examples of how your leadership transformed the design of a product
  • You've led complex products or features: a zero-to-one launch, a reimagining of something established, or both
  • A strong communicator who collaborates effectively with executive and cross-functional stakeholders
  • Able to demonstrate AI fluency, either in your own work or in how you've led teams through it
