Director of Product Design
About the role
About Affinity
Affinity is a relationship intelligence platform that helps dealmakers find, manage, and close more deals by using the power of their network. Investors, dealmakers, and operators rely on us to turn relationship signals into action. Design is core to how we deliver on that promise.
Role Overview
As Director of Product Design, you'll lead and grow our product design team, set the bar for design and research, and partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership on product vision and strategy to shape what Affinity becomes over the next several years. You'll report directly to the SVP of Product.
This is a pivotal moment for design at Affinity. We're rethinking how AI shows up across the product, expanding into new market segments, and raising our standards for quality and execution. We need a design leader with a strong point of view on craft, on team, and on how the discipline itself is evolving.
Responsibilities
- Build and lead a high-performing product design team: hire, coach, and grow designers as the team scales.
- Set and uphold the bar for craft and quality. Define what "great" looks like at Affinity, and hold the team to it across every surface we ship.
- Partner with Product and Engineering leadership on strategy, roadmap, and the operating model that gets us to durable outcomes.
- Bring a clear point of view on how design practice is changing in AI-native products.
