## About the role

We're looking for a Head of Design to lead all design ownership at Somethings — from strategy and brand identity all the way through to implementation and craft. This is the most senior design role at the company. You will report directly to the CEO and own design across every surface: our teen mobile experience, mentor web platform, clinical tooling, and brand.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of product design experience , with at least 3 years in a design leadership role
- A portfolio that demonstrates both exceptional visual craft and end-to-end product thinking — from ambiguous problem to beautiful, shipped solution
- Deep experience building design systems from scratch and governing them at scale
- Proven track record of managing and growing design teams — you've hired, developed, and led designers and know what great leadership looks like
- Fluency across both mobile and web — you understand the distinct nuances of each platform and design natively for both
- Experience in consumer or social products where emotional resonance is as important as usability
