Lead Product Designer (Commerce)

About The Role

We are seeking a Lead Product Designer (P4) who can elevate HighLevel's product experiences through exceptional craft, product judgment, systems thinking and influence. You have spent 7+ years designing complex digital products, ideally including SaaS, B2B, platform, workflow-heavy or similarly sophisticated product experiences, and are ready to shape design direction, quality standards and team culture across one or more defined product pillars. As a lead individual contributor, you will partner deeply with product and engineering leaders, mentor other designers and help teams define and improve strategically important product experiences within a focused area of the HighLevel platform. You will connect customer needs, business goals, technical constraints and near- to mid-term product strategy to clear, useful and highly polished product design.

What You'll Do

• Lead design strategy and execution for one or more defined product pillars, translating customer needs, business goals and technical constraints into clear experience direction.
• Partner with product and engineering leaders to shape product vision, prioritize opportunities and align teams around high-quality outcomes within your area.
• Influence leadership decisions through customer empathy, data synthesis, product judgment, storytelling and strong design rationale.
• Drive quality reviews and set standards for usability, accessibility, interaction quality, visual consistency and design-system alignment.
• Mentor designers, improve critique, strengthen shared patterns and make design standards easier to adopt.
• Define and socialize metrics for design quality and impact, including usability, accessibility, task success, adoption, retention or customer satisfaction.
• Lead complex discovery and design work through ambiguity with clarity, speed and craft inside a defined product scope.
• Collaborate effectively across US and India time zones in a 100% remote environment.

What We Are Looking For

• 7+ years of relevant product design experience, with 2+ years in a leadership, mentorship or design direction capacity; experience in SaaS, B2B, platform, workflow-heavy or other complex digital product environments is highly valuable.
• A exceptionally strong portfolio that demonstrates systematic thinking, customer empathy, exceptional craft, measurable product impact and leadership beyond individual execution.
• Proven experience leading data-informed product design across the full lifecycle, including research, information architecture, interaction design, visual design, prototyping, content strategy and usability testing.
• Exceptional visual and interaction design craft, with deep care for hierarchy, layout, typography, grids, spacing, motion, usability, accessibility and product quality.
• Experience designing for AI-driven or intelligent interfaces, including collaboration with machine learning, data, automation or platform teams.
• Deep fluency in design systems, accessibility standards, reusable patterns and scalable product experience decisions.
• Experience influencing design direction for high-impact product areas or pillars, not only individual features or flows.
• Strong cross-functional leadership skills and the ability to work fluently with product managers, engineers, data partners, customer-facing teams, senior stakeholders and other designers.
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to simplify complex ideas, lead critiques and workshops and persuade through rationale, evidence and craft.
• Passion for improving team operations, design standards, processes, tools, documentation and better ways for teams to work.
