Director, Product Design

The Role: Leading Design with a Modern Edge

Kettle is looking for a Director of Product Design who acts as both a strategic visionary and an active creator. You will oversee the creation of digital products that blend emotional resonance with technical precision, leading the charge on projects for major global brands. This position is unique because it demands a 'player-coach' mentality, where you guide the team's professional growth while remaining the most senior practitioner on the floor.

Why Vibe Coding Matters Here

Unlike traditional design roles, this position requires fluency in AI-assisted workflows. You will use vibe coding and AI tools to:

• Rapidly Prototype: Move from initial user journey mapping to functional wireframes and interactive models at high speed.
• Iterate Faster: Use natural language prompting to explore broader design concepts without the friction of manual pixel-pushing.
• Bridge Design and Dev: Leverage AI to streamline handoffs and ensure that the 'soul' of the product remains intact through the development cycle.

Growth and Impact

As a Director, you will shape the UX/UI patterns across diverse industries, from fintech to consumer technology. You'll have the autonomy to define how AI integrates into the design lifecycle while mentoring junior talent to adopt these same modern efficiencies. This is an opportunity to lead a remote-first team at the intersection of product logic and brand narrative.
