About the Role
We’re seeking an experienced Director of Product Design to lead, shape, and inspire our Flagship Product Team. You will own the vision, strategy, and execution of design across our product suite, with a focus on delivering world-class user experiences that empower real estate entrepreneurs. Your leadership will drive how design influences the future of the real estate industry by giving agents the tools they need to build their brand, grow their business, and expand their network.
This role requires someone who is comfortable setting the strategy and acting as a multiplier for the team while also being able to get into the weeds and execute when necessary. You’ll shape long-term design vision, solve complex design challenges, and support the team through critical project milestones.
About Luxury Presence
Luxury Presence is the real estate industry’s most powerful marketing platform, offering award-winning websites and cutting-edge technology to the world’s top agents. Since 2016, we’ve been serving over 6,000 clients, including more than 20 of the top 100 WSJ real estate agents and teams. Our official partnerships with leading brokerages such as Compass, Corcoran, Sotheby’s, and Coldwell Banker further solidify our presence as a key player in the industry.
We’ve raised $25.9 million in Series B funding from Bessemer Venture Partners, Toba Capital, and Switch Ventures, with participation from angel investors like Dirk Nowitzki. We were also recognized by BuiltinLA as a Best Place to Work and by Inc. as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America.
The Design Opportunity
As Director of Product Design, you’ll play a pivotal role in guiding the evolution of our platform through design. This opportunity is unique in several ways:
Design as a Strategic Lever
Design is essential to realizing our vision. You’ll be empowered to make strategic decisions that drive both innovation and business impact.
Ownership and Influence
Our culture promotes ownership and trust. You’ll have significant input and leadership in shaping design across multiple products.
Diverse Scope of Work
our leadership will span visual design, UX, and design systems, ensuring a holistic, immersive experience for our customers.
Global Team
We hire based on talent, not location. You’ll be leading a global, remote team and scaling our design operations to support company-wide goals.
Key responsibilities
Act as a multiplier by empowering your team to perform at their best while also being willing to roll up your sleeves and execute when necessary.
Set and drive the design vision, ensuring alignment with company goals and values.
Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners (Product, Engineering, Marketing, etc.) to deliver exceptional design outcomes.
Own the end-to-end design process, from strategy and concept to final delivery, ensuring consistency and high-quality execution.
Establish and optimize frameworks for Design Operations, including project management, team rituals and design critiques, workflow processes, and hiring strategies to ensure smooth operations and scalability across the team.
What we're looking for
Proven experience in leading product design teams, preferably within a B2B SaaS environment.
A strong portfolio that demonstrates high-quality design work, strategic thinking, and end-to-end product design.
Expertise in Figma and other design tools, including experience with design systems across multiple products.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
Experience in mobile-first design.
A passion for creating intuitive, impactful user experiences in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment.
Interest or experience in the real estate industry is a plus.
What will be challenging
We're a growing company (~500 people right now) with big goals. If you prefer set ways of working in a slower-pace environment, this role isn't for you
We’re still growing and evolving, which means things won’t be perfect and there will be challenges. We’re looking for someone with a high agency mindset who sees challenges as opportunities for growth.
We are critical of the work, not the person. Expect to be challenged in your thinking, and we expect you to do the same for others.
Interview process
We want to get to know you, hear about what you're interested in, and learn about what you hope to do in the future.
1. Introductory Calls
You’ll have a 30-minute conversation with Joana to explore if we’re a good fit for each other. No need to prepare anything; it’s a chance to learn more about Luxury Presence and ask any questions you may have.
2. Leadership Portfolio Review
You’ll present 2 projects you have led to our team, showcasing your process, problem-solving approach, and final outcomes. We are looking to evaluate your craft, product thinking, and how you’ve worked with and led teams to ship work that leads to business impact.
3. Case Study 1:1's
You’ll have 1:1 meetings with key stakeholders from Engineering, Product Management, and Design Leadership, as well as with the Design Team that will report to you. These sessions will provide an opportunity for open dialogue and questions, but will primarily focus on hands-on case studies. The exercise will allow us to assess your problem-solving approach and how you collaborate across functions.
3. Reference conversations
We’ll speak with people you’ve worked with to understand your strengths and how we can best support you in this role.
