Head of Design

About the Role

You'll own quality and craft for the slides & presentations domain, sitting inside one of the company's core accounts; the first of five design groupings the company is building leadership around over the next 3–6 months. What you set up here becomes the template for everything that follows.

Two types of work run through your domain:

• Evaluation - experts assess and critique AI-generated presentations, producing the preference data that teaches models what good looks like.
• Production - experts build original decks and assets from briefs, producing the gold-standard examples models train on directly.

Your job is to make sure both are excellent, consistently, at scale—and to build the team that can hold that line.

Responsibilities

• Defining the bar by writing the standards, rubrics, and reference examples that separate genuinely great presentation design from merely competent AI output.
• Coaching craft by training a distributed network of experts on prompting technique and AI-collaboration best practices, so the whole pool gets sharper, not just your top performers.
• Managing the people who manage quality with direct line management of pod leads, plus oversight of QA reviewers to keep scoring consistent across the board.
• Making your leadership's life easier by turning messy, ambiguous questions about scope, quality, or process into clear answers.

Requirements

• A genuine eye for design (presentation and comms design). You can look at a deck and say exactly why it works, in a way experts will trust.
• Coaching instinct; you'd rather make ten designers better than be the best designer in the room.
• Experience leading a design team or studio, including responsibility for consistency across other people's work, not just your own.
• Comfort and confidence building structure in ambiguity; this function doesn't fully exist yet, and you'll be the one shaping it.
• Real curiosity about AI-generated design: you don't need a technical background, but you should already have strong opinions about what makes AI output good or bad.
• US working hours required.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience in a human-data, RLHF, or expert-network environment.
• Hands-on familiarity with AI presentation tools like Gamma, Tome, or Beautiful.ai.
• NYC- or San Francisco-based preferred (but not required).
