Design Lead – Zolvit
Location: Bangalore / Chennai
About The Role
We’re looking for a
Design Lead who can manage and grow a small but mighty team of 3–5 designers, while also contributing as a senior individual contributor. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of leadership and craft — ideal for someone who can elevate both design quality and team capability in a fast-paced product environment.
You’ll report to the CPTO and work closely with Product, Engineering, and Marketing leaders to define how AI can transform the compliance experience for Indian SMEs.
What You’ll Do
- Lead & Build the Design Function
- Own end-to-end design for all Zolvit products across web & mobile
- Hire, mentor, and develop a team of junior designers into independent product owners
- Scale Design Systems & Ops
- Create and maintain a scalable design system
- Implement structured design review processes
- Set up tools that reduce design-to-dev friction (e.g., Figma libraries, shared trackers)
- Experiment with AI-powered tools (e.g., Figma AI, Galileo AI) to accelerate wireframing, mockups, and QA — and build internal playbooks from these pilots
- Act as a Strategic Partner
- Represent design in roadmap planning and cross-functional initiatives.
Provide design input to new product bets, strategy artifacts, and investor/GTM pitches
- Collaborate closely with business teams to ensure design is aligned with outcomes, not just aesthetics
You Should Have
- 5–7 years of product design experience, with at least 1–2 years in a lead or principal designer role
- A strong portfolio that demonstrates excellence in product thinking, interaction design, and visual execution
- Experience mentoring and reviewing the work of junior designers
- A growth mindset and openness to experimenting with AI and new tools
