Product Design Director jobs in Illinois

ThreeFlow is looking for naturally curious teammates who love to ask questions, even when it means questioning industry standards. We cultivate an inclusive culture where everyone can contribute, grow, and feel valued.  As part of our post-Series C growth, we're excited to add a Director of Product Design to lead the department and its 4-person team. Reporting to our VP of Product Management, this role will be responsible for intimately understanding our users, setting vision and strategy, and implementing solutions that address our user’s problems, opportunities, and unmet needs and help us grow the business. 

About the role

• You will advocate for your point of view at all levels of the organization and can leverage data, storytelling, and visual design to bring stakeholders along

• You will help define what’s next for ThreeFlow—as a product, a business, and a company

• You will foster culture, processes, and systems that lead the team toward high performance as we define it (impact, contribution to strategic thinking, individual craft & execution, and how we show up for each other)

• You will elevate the quality of the product by managing and evolving our design principles, systems, and guidelines

• You will oversee the overall team performance and health, allocating resources effectively to support team goals, and proactively addressing any misalignments or challenges

About you

• You have 5 years of product design management experience building products in high-growth companies; versed in setting product strategy & vision

• You are empathetic and eager to solve customer problems
