[Hiring] Head of Design @Social Discovery Group

Role Description

We are looking for Head of Design .

• Own the end-to-end product's user experience — from ad creative and landing pages through onboarding, avatar selection, chat, media generation, and retention loops — holding the whole journey consistent, not just individual screens.
• Grow product metrics through design: conversion to purchase, retention, LTV. Form hypotheses, prioritize them, validate through A/B tests, and see them through to release.
• Set a single design direction and evolve the design system: UI, UX patterns, character visual style, generated content, animation, and UX copy.
• Lead the design team (2 product designers, a UX writer, a researcher), build the processes and the cross-functional work with product, analytics, marketing, and engineering.
• Turn research, user interviews, and support insights into concrete roadmap initiatives aligned with business priorities.

Qualifications

• 3+ years leading a design team of 3 or more in B2C daily-use products — AI companions, social, dating, health & fitness, edtech, messengers; products with 2M+ MAU or $50M+ in revenue.
• Cases with measurable design impact on metrics: what you changed, why, and how it moved CR, retention, or LTV — with before and after numbers.
• Strong product design expertise: UX, UI, user flows, information architecture, prototyping; confident in Figma; experience building and maintaining design systems.
• Proven cross-functional work with product and analytics: A/B testing, prioritization frameworks (RICE), data-driven decisions — design as part of the product, not a separate function.
• A strong visual eye and taste paired with an analytical mind; English at C1 or above.

Benefits

• REMOTE OPPORTUNITY to work full-time.
• The initial pay level or pay range for this role will be shared with candidates during the recruitment process and before the commencement of employment.
• Vacation: 28 calendar days per year.
• 7 wellness days per year (time off) that can be used to deal with household issues, to lie down and recover without taking sick leave.
• Bonuses up to $5000 for recommending successful applicants for positions in the company.
• 50% payment for professional training, international conferences, and meetings.
• Corporate discount for English lessons.
• Health benefits: If you are not eligible for corporate medical insurance, the company will compensate you with up to $1,000 gross per year per employee.
• Workplace organization: The company provides all employees with an equipped workplace and all the necessary equipment (table, armchair, wifi, etc.) in our offices or co-working locations.
• Internal gamified gratitude system: receive bonuses from colleagues and exchange them for our merchandise, team building activities, massage certificates, etc.
