What they're looking for
- You’ve led product design at an ambitious, high-growth technology company, setting vision, building teams, and influencing company-level product direction
- You have exceptional taste and a portfolio of shipped, beautifully executed products, and you know how to bring others up to your bar
- You’ve hired and developed great designers, and you’ve raised the quality of a team you inherited, not just one you built from scratch
- You see design and product strategy as inseparable, you navigate ambiguity, find the right problems to solve, and influence founders, executives, and engineers
- You’ve designed sophisticated software, ideally B2B platforms, analytics, data visualization, or complex workflows, and know how to make powerful products feel simple
- You’re hands-on: equally comfortable presenting a long-term vision, coaching a designer through a hard problem, or jumping into Figma or code to prototype an idea yourself
More about this role
Profound is the fastest-growing AI marketing platform, used by 15% of the Fortune 500 including Comcast, Estée Lauder, and Walmart, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. It is where marketing teams do the work: research, briefs, content, campaigns, reporting, all in one place, alongside agents that carry the load with them.
Built on 2B+ real user prompts and growing, Profound’s data shows you what people ask AI and what the models say back. Profound's AI Marketer joins that data with deep context about our customers to find the opportunities worth acting on, and then puts agents to work: automating reporting, drafting content, auditing pages for readability, running competitive research. It measures what works and gets better every day.
We’re building a new category of software, and design will define what that experience becomes. We’re hiring a Head of Design to lead and grow our design team, set the vision for an AI-native product, and make sure everything we ship meets our exceptionally high bar. You’ll report directly to our CTO and work closely with the founders and leadership team, with real ownership over what we build, not just how it looks.
