The Opportunity:

Kandji is seeking a seasoned and hands-on design leader to guide our product design team and elevate our user experience to best-in-class standards. As VP or Head of Product Design, you’ll report directly to our CEO and work closely with both the CEO and Product & Engineering Leaders to shape and execute on our product vision. We're looking for a leader with exceptional design craft, a deep product mindset, and the ability to bring clarity, rigor, and taste to every part of the user experience.

In this role, you’ll own the evolution of our design system, influence the trajectory of our product roadmap, and provide both strategic direction and hands-on feedback to designers. You’ll also be a force multiplier—enabling your team to produce the highest quality work while staying deeply involved in the details.

This is a rare opportunity for a design leader who wants to partner closely with executive leadership, contribute meaningfully to product vision, and leave a lasting impact on the future of Kandji.

How You Will Make a Difference Day to Day:

• Lead the product design organization, setting the vision, standards, and processes that ensure consistency, scalability, and excellence across our platform.
• Collaborate directly with the CEO, Engineering & Product Leaders, and other senior leaders to influence product direction and design priorities.
• Provide high-level creative direction while also staying close to the work—giving feedback in Figma, ensuring alignment with the product vision, and raising the bar on visual and interaction design.
• Evolve and maintain a world-class design system that supports rapid development while upholding visual and experiential consistency.
• Foster a culture of quality, critique, continuous improvement, and user obsession within the design team.
• Hire, mentor, and develop a strong team of designers, giving them the structure, feedback, and support they need to thrive.
• Bring structure and discipline to the design process while staying nimble and responsive to product needs.
• Build strong cross-functional relationships to ensure design is tightly integrated into how we build and ship products.
  
  
  

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• 10+ years of experience in product design with significant time in leadership roles (e.g., VP, Head of Design, Director).
• A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional product design craft, systems thinking, and user-centered execution across complex applications.
• Proven ability to lead high-performing design teams in fast-paced, product-led environments.
• Deep fluency in Figma and modern design tools, with a strong sense of visual design, interaction design, and UX best practices.
• Experience owning or leading the development of a design system or platform-level redesign.
• Strong product instincts, with the ability to evaluate design decisions in the context of user needs, technical constraints, and business goals.
• Ability to give and receive feedback constructively, and to push teams to produce their best work.
• A track record of meaningful impact at companies known for great product and design.
• Required to work on-site 5x a week in our Miami office (Coral Gables).
  
  
  

Nice to haves, but NOT required:

• Experience designing for B2B SaaS or enterprise software.
• Familiarity with accessibility best practices, design for complex workflows, and mobile-responsive UI.
