What You'll Do
Own and drive the end‑to‑end project rhythm for Software Design across OS, native apps, audio, watch, and AI experiences, taking initiatives from initial brief to final launch.
Act as the primary liaison between Software Design, Engineering, Industrial Design, Product, and Marketing, running rituals and reviews that ensure total alignment.
Translate complex team roadmaps into concrete, executable plans with clear milestones and dependencies that allow cross‑functional partners to build effectively.
Protect the quality of the work by tracking design decisions against technical feasibility and scope, escalating immediately if timelines threaten the user experience.
Maintain the "source of truth" by ensuring all initiatives have crisp, accessible artifacts—including briefs, design specs, RFCs, and release notes.
Proactively manage risks by identifying potential blockers—whether technical, resource‑based, or market‑driven—and driving mitigation strategies with owners before they impact the critical path.
Manage team bandwidth and resource allocation, ensuring the right talent is on the right problems while optimizing our internal tools and processes for speed.
What We're Looking For
Deeply design‑literate: care about craft and interaction quality, able to understand and defend a design rationale.
Technically fluent: comfortable with modern product development (Android/OS, APIs, AI features) enough to challenge engineering assumptions.
Operational excellence: build realistic plans and hold people accountable without stifling creativity.
Clear communication: filter noise, consolidate input, and translate Software Design intent accurately to Engineering and Leadership.
High ownership: create clarity from ambiguity and take initiative to fix broken processes or difficult decisions.
Experienced: 5+ years of program management experience in design‑led software or consumer electronics environments, having shipped complex, multi‑team work.
Pragmatic adaptability: comfortable making explicit trade‑offs in a fast‑paced environment, refining workflows without unnecessary bureaucracy.

Location: London (Kings Cross & Farringdon offices).
