## About the role

We are looking for a Principal Product Designer to lead and grow a team of senior individual-contributor designers, shaping how creators discover, organize, and share content through Linktree. This is a player-coach role: you'll manage, coach, and develop a small team of senior designers while staying hands-on with design yourself, personally owning some of the hardest or most ambiguous problems.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of design experience, including prior experience managing and growing individual contributors (managing managers is a plus, but not a requirement)
- A genuine player-coach — still hands-on and excellent at the craft, and energized by both doing the work and developing others
- Proven track record of shipping high-quality design within a consumer product or creator / marketplace platform
- Strong craft judgment and the ability to provide feedback that meaningfully elevates team work
- Demonstrable proof of using AI as part of how you explore, prototype, communicate, and create
- Demonstrated ability to hire, coach, develop, and retain strong individual-contributor designers, especially at the senior level
