This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Design Lead in Austria.
This is a strategic and hands‑on leadership role for a seasoned design professional ready to shape and scale a growing design function. You will bring structure, clarity, and operational excellence to the team while continuing to deliver high‑quality creative work across product, brand, and web experiences. Working in a remote‑first, globally distributed environment, you will collaborate closely with product, engineering, marketing, and leadership to align design with business priorities. The role requires balancing team coordination and process optimisation with direct creative execution. If you thrive in fast‑paced, high‑growth environments and enjoy transforming ambiguity into clear design direction, this opportunity offers both ownership and meaningful impact.
Accountabilities:
Lead and scale the design function by managing daily operations, coordinating team workflows, and optimising processes for handling inbound requests and project prioritisation.
Define project scopes, allocate resources effectively, and align team bandwidth with evolving business goals and timelines.
Represent the design team across the organisation, setting expectations, communicating trade‑offs, and ensuring transparency around priorities and constraints.
Drive hiring efforts, participate in interviews, and contribute to long‑term team structure and resourcing strategies.
Manage relationships with external agencies, contractors, and vendors to ensure consistent quality and delivery standards.
Contribute directly to hands‑on design execution, producing high‑quality product, marketing, and web deliverables.
Maintain and systematise Figma files, shared libraries, and design assets to ensure scalability, accessibility, and collaborative efficiency.
Requirements:
5+ years of experience in product, digital, or brand design, with demonstrated leadership or team management experience.
Proven ability to balance strategic oversight with hands‑on creative execution in dynamic environments.
Strong operational mindset with experience building or improving design workflows and bandwidth planning.
Advanced proficiency in Figma, including organising libraries, maintaining structured systems, and enabling team collaboration.
Strong visual design fundamentals, including typography, colour theory, composition, spacing, and layout.
Experience collaborating cross‑functionally with product, engineering, marketing, and leadership stakeholders.
Excellent communication skills with confidence presenting design rationale and navigating ambiguity.
Structured, systems‑oriented thinker with exceptional attention to detail.
Experience scaling design teams, building design systems, or working with agencies is a plus.
Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and experience aligning product and brand systems across touchpoints (nice to have).
Benefits:
Fully remote role based in Denmark with global team collaboration.
Flexible work environment supporting autonomy and ownership.
Opportunity to shape and scale a growing design organisation.
Exposure to fast‑moving, innovative product environments.
Collaborative, international team culture.
Professional growth opportunities within a high‑impact leadership role.
Competitive compensation aligned with experience and responsibilities.
