About the role

Contentsquare is looking for a self-starting, highly motivated Director of Product Design to lead the design of our Product Analytics offering.

Additionally, the Director of Product Design looks after the people in their team, through mentorship, creative direction, professional development, and career-building.

• Experience designing data and information visualization tools for people ranging from neophyte to power-user
• Success in leading design within a Product-Led Growth (PLG) environment
• Demonstrated leadership throughout a user-centered design process, from upfront research, insights and strategy, through ideation, prototyping, and detailed delivery
• Success at leading across an Engineering-Product-Design triad, bringing a range of people into the design process, and successfully engaging stakeholders and executives
• Comfortable with ambiguity, brings clarity to uncertainty
• Strong written and oral communication and presentation skills, clearly articulating the rationale behind design decisions
• We’re not looking for an MBA, but we do seek someone comfortable with the language of business, who is data driven and can tie design team effort to product and business outcomes
