Head of Product Design

Responsibilities

• Build the team. Hire, grow, and retain a high-performing design team, identifying people who will thrive and raise the bar at Amplitude.
• Develop them through direct, specific feedback. Help someone who's stuck get moving again.
• Set direction.
• Drive the design strategy for Amplitude's product suite: Core Amplitude, Statsig, and Wave (a proactive agent that helps teams build self-improving products). Help define how agents and humans work together in the same workflows.
• Champion craft. Strong visual design builds trust, clarity, and delight in the era of AI.
• Lead by example, elevating the quality of the product through exceptional design execution.
• Hold a high bar. AI makes it cheap to ship UI changes, which makes it easy for quality to erode quietly.
• Set a clear standard for what good looks like and enforce it without becoming an approval bottleneck.
• Stay in production. You believe that “the design” is what ships. Code is the material that brings the design to life. Push on the details, the papercuts, the edge cases.
• Speak for the customer. Show up in leadership conversations as the voice of the customer, pushing for solutions that genuinely serve their needs and reduce complexity.
