€75,000 - €105,000
Lead design at the leading AI search platform. Set the design vision across product, brand, and data storytelling, and build the design function as we scale. You'll define how brands like Duolingo, Yelp, and Fireflies experience AI search data, working directly with the founding team while staying hands-on in the craft.

Promptwatch helps businesses optimize their visibility across AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI. Our data reports are featured in Yahoo Finance, TheStreet, and Seeking Alpha, and our platform is trusted by brands like Duolingo, Yelp, Typeform, Fireflies, and Shutterstock, along with agencies worldwide. Design is a core differentiator for us, from the product experience to public-facing research and campaigns.

As our Design Lead, you'll own the design vision and quality bar across the entire company: product UX, data visualization, brand identity, and marketing. You'll set direction, build scalable design systems and processes, and grow the design team over time, all while remaining hands-on in the work. You'll partner directly with the founding team on product strategy and shape how thousands of businesses interact with AI search data every day.

  • Own and evolve the design vision across product, brand, and marketing
  • Set and uphold the quality bar for everything we ship
  • Lead the design of complex data dashboards and analytics experiences
  • Define and scale our design system, brand identity, and visual guidelines
  • Partner with the founding team on product strategy and roadmap
  • Direct data visualizations and infographics for the product and public research reports
  • Build design processes that scale: critiques, handoff, research cadence
  • Mentor and grow designers as the team expands
  • Collaborate with engineers to ensure pixel-perfect implementation

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years in product design, with experience leading design or mentoring designers
  • Expert-level Figma skills
  • Strong portfolio of shipped products, ideally data-heavy B2B SaaS
  • Track record of building and maintaining design systems at scale
  • Data visualization and information design expertise
  • Ability to set design direction and rally teams behind it
  • Strong typography, layout, and color sense
  • Comfortable balancing strategic leadership with hands-on execution

Nice to Have

  • Experience as a founding or first design hire
  • Experience hiring and managing designers
  • Motion design (After Effects, Lottie, Principle)
  • Basic HTML/CSS understanding
  • Experience with B2B SaaS or tech branding

Compensation

Equity: equity stake

Perks: Great office location, team off-sites, company and team sports activities
