About

Opportunity You will manage and mentor a pod of four product designers covering BetterUp’s core coaching experiences across member, partner, and coach surfaces. This is a player‑coach role—you run design operations for your pod while maintaining craft standards across your area.
Your pod owns four interconnected surface areas:
Partner experience
(Partner Hub, Performance Intelligence, and Buyer),
Individual coaching
(Manage, Lead, and Ready),
Group coaching
(Dare to Lead, Guided Journey, and Team tooling), and
Coach experience
(the professional platform coaches use to manage their practice). Each requires a different design lens, and your job is to ensure coherence and quality across all of them.
What You’ll Do
Manage and develop four direct reports across multiple time zones, with consistent 1:1s, actionable feedback, and individualized growth support
Run design operations for your pod: review cadence, Figma hygiene, handoff standards, and sprint participation
Ensure design is in the room at kickoff—before the PRD is written, not after
Enforce sign‑off gates before work moves to engineering, maintaining quality and consistency across your surfaces
Partner directly with VP Product counterparts for Partner, Coach, and Member pods to align on priorities and tradeoffs
Surface experience quality issues across your surfaces and bring them to weekly design review
Contribute to team‑wide rituals: cross‑pod critiques, design jams, and quarterly dogfooding
Maintain craft standards as a player‑coach—you are still a designer, not just a manager; taste and collaboration with growth, core, AI, and design systems teams matter
What You’ll Bring
7+ years of product design experience, including people management experience
Experience managing product designers across multiple product areas simultaneously
Strong systems thinking—the surfaces you own span B2B, B2C, and two‑sided interactions
A track record of getting design upstream, not just executing on PM direction
Comfort operating without perfect information in a fast‑moving environment
Player‑coach mindset—craft and taste are as important as management skills
Proficiency with Figma and modern design tools; familiarity with prototyping and design systems workflows
Experience with AI‑powered design tools and workflows (e.g., AI‑assisted prototyping, generative design, AI‑powered user research analysis)
You’ll Thrive Here if You
Have experience designing for coaching, health, or human development platforms
Familiarity with enterprise B2B design patterns and complex administrative workflows
Experience with two‑sided marketplace or platform design
Background integrating AI capabilities into product experiences
AI at BetterUp We are focused on integrating AI into product experiences while maintaining human judgment and creativity. We encourage experimentation and sharing of AI‑augmented work to drive innovation.
As a Product Design Manager, You’ll
Model openness to AI‑powered change and encourage teammates to try new ways of working
Adopt new AI tools with curiosity, help the team unlearn outdated habits, and support emotional resilience during AI‑driven transition
Create a psychologically safe environment for the team to experiment with AI tools and share both successes and failures
Actively use AI in your own design work and transparently share your process with the team
Benefits
Access to BetterUp coaching; one for you and one for a friend or family member
A competitive compensation plan with opportunity for advancement
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
Flexible paid time off
Per year:
All federal/statutory holidays observed
4 BetterUp Inner Workdays
5 Volunteer Days to give back
Learning and Development stipend
Company wide Summer & Winter breaks
Year‑round charitable contribution of your choice on behalf of BetterUp
401(k) self‑contribution
