* Coordinating with the rest of design leadership to mature our collective practice
* Bringing your team and others together to share their work and strengthen culture
* Helping make the value of design legible across the organisation and open source community

## What we are looking for in you

* A portfolio demonstrating excellence in leading design process and execution (especially visually) in diverse organisations
* Experience managing complex projects and a team of designers while remaining actively involved in design work
* Advanced knowledge of visual design principles (typography, layout, colour, systems) demonstrating broad experience
* Strong processes understanding and ability to manage ambiguity, competing priorities, and limited resources with the ability to switch modes
* A clear point of view, balanced with openness to critique and feedback with deep care for usability and accessibility
* Commitment to skills development and mentorship
* A demonstrable passion for technology
* Thoughtful and self-motivated while being result-oriented, with a personal drive to meet commitments
* Exceptional educational achievement in design, or a compelling narrative about your alternative chosen path
* Professional written and spoken English
* Willingness to travel up to 4 times a year for internal events up to two weeks long

## What we offer you

Your base pay will depend on various factors including your geographical location, level of experience, knowledge and skills. In addition to the benefits below, certain roles are also eligible for additional benefits and rewards including annual bonuses and sales incentives based on revenue or utilisation. Our compensation philosophy is to ensure equity right across our global workforce.

In addition to a competitive base pay, we provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals.
