[Hiring] Staff Product Design Lead @Wistia

Role Description

Wistia helps businesses grow with video, from hosting and a player built for marketing to analytics, webinars, and AI tools that make video easier to create and share. We're hiring a Staff Product Design Lead for Hosting, Wistia's core product. Whether a video is uploaded, recorded in a webinar, or made with our AI creation tools, it's hosted in Wistia for everything that comes after. The hosting team oversees these interconnected customer needs from end-to-end:

• Organize their library, so the right video is easy to find, manage, and control access to.
• Publish it through our player, embeds, and pages that bring video to their websites and audiences.
• Analyze how it performs, so they know what's working and what to do next.

Nearly every Wistia customer relies on Hosting. As we expand into webinars, video creation, and agentic workflows, it remains the foundation of our Video Platform.

You'll be the design lead for Hosting and report to our VP of Product Design, working closely with Hosting's product and engineering leads to set strategy and decide what we build. You'll also stay hands-on, owning key projects yourself and contributing directly in code alongside your engineering partners on a small, senior, AI-native team. This is a leading individual contributor role with a high degree of autonomy and strategic influence.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product design experience, ideally with experience on B2B or SaaS products.
• A portfolio that shows you leading design across a whole product area, including evolving established products customers already depend on.
• Experience as a design lead alongside product and engineering partners: shaping strategy and goals, making tradeoffs, and influencing well beyond your own projects.
• Strong systems thinking, so you can break large, tangled problems into clear, shippable steps.
• Hands-on experience building with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar), and comfort or openness to working in a codebase with branches, pull requests, and code review.
• Comfort with data: you define success metrics, use them to make decisions, and design data-rich interfaces people actually understand.
• Excellent interaction and visual craft, and clear written communication.

Requirements

• Experience with video hosting, media, or digital asset management products (nice to have).
• Design system or other frontend contributions in code (nice to have).
• Analytics or data visualization products (nice to have).
• Experience with overseeing multiple project or product areas simultaneously (nice to have).

Benefits

• A competitive compensation package that includes employee stock options.
• 401k with 3% company contribution, regardless of whether you contribute (Roth 401k available).
• Fully paid healthcare, dental, and vision insurance premiums (family plans included).
• Pre-tax FSA and Dependent Care Account.
• 16 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Flexible Time Off. Everyone should get out of their office to recharge and reboot.
• Annual professional development stipend (courses, conferences, and more).
• New hire bonus to enhance your home office setup.
• Pet insurance discount.
• Fully remote, work from anywhere in the contiguous United States.
