About the role

Superhuman is redefining how the world works, and we're looking for a Director of Design & Research Operations to help lead that transformation. Design & Research Operations sets the operational foundation for how our design and research teams function — ensuring designers can focus on craft and researchers can generate insights that meaningfully shape product decisions. We're looking for a strong leader to elevate what we've built and push it further.

What they're looking for

  • 7+ years in design operations, research operations, design program management, or a related operational role within a design- and/or research-driven organization
  • Proven ability to embed structure and process within creative teams without stifling the work — you know how to make rigor feel enabling, not restrictive
  • A track record of building systems that scale. Frameworks, processes, and tools that teams actually adopt and that help organizations move faster without losing quality
  • Experience running operations for a mid-to-large design and/or research team, ideally in a fast-moving product or tech environment
  • You lead with data and land change through relationships — bringing evidence to every conversation while tailoring your approach to what each stakeholder needs to move forward
  • You're energized by ambiguity and default to action — but you know when to slow down, build alignment, and make sure the team is moving in the right direction
More about this role
