Director of Product Design

Tango Analytics is focused on helping businesses make smarter decisions through innovative technology and collaborative efforts. They are seeking a Director of Product Design to establish and lead the product design function, build and develop a team, and define a design vision aligned with company objectives.

Responsibilities:

• Establish and lead Tango's product design function — the first dedicated design team in company history — defining team structure, culture, processes, and standards from the ground up
• Build, hire, and develop a team of product designers; own the full talent lifecycle from hiring rubric through career development and performance management
• Define and communicate a design vision and strategy aligned with company objectives and the product roadmap across Retail, Corporate, and Energy & Sustainability segments
• Lead UX modernization of mature, legacy enterprise products used by diverse personas across real estate, facilities, sustainability, and workplace teams — balancing the complexity of existing workflows with meaningful improvements to usability, time-to-value, and customer satisfaction
• Own the design system roadmap from initial audit through team adoption, partnering with Engineering to increase delivery speed and cross-product consistency
• Establish and maintain a continuous discovery process — generative research, usability testing, and design experiments — to validate decisions and measure impact
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Data to plan, prioritize, and deliver high-quality, user-centered experiences on predictable timelines
• Present design rationale and investment cases to executive stakeholders; influence product and business decisions through design evidence
• Build and run an AI-assisted design and research process — using AI tooling to accelerate discovery synthesis, design iteration, and cross-team documentation from day one; establish this as the team's operating standard as the function grows
• Define the design language for Tango's intelligence-first platform — establishing UX patterns for AI-assisted workflows, agent-generated surfaces, and human-in-the-loop decision experiences

Requirements:

• 8+ years in product design, with at least 3 years leading a design team in a fast-paced B2B SaaS environment
• Proven ability to build, scale, and inspire high-performing design teams grounded in craft, feedback, and measurable outcomes
• Strong track record of driving design quality, cross-functional collaboration, and operational effectiveness across product and engineering
• Experience establishing design processes, culture, and systems in organizations without existing design infrastructure
• Bachelor's degree in design, HCI, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience
• Deep experience designing complex enterprise workflows for multiple user types across data-rich, multi-step products
• Strong background in end-to-end product design: UX research, interaction design, visual design, and design systems
• Familiarity with modern design practices: continuous discovery, usability testing, design sprints, and data-driven iteration
• Proficiency in Figma and modern design and prototyping tooling
• Fluency with AI tools in the design workflow — research synthesis, design generation, documentation — and a developing point of view on designing for AI-assisted and agentic product experiences
• Experience with internationalized products supporting multiple languages and regional markets is a plus
