Full description
Our client is building a finance-first, all-in-one operating system for a highly complex and mission-critical industry in Latin America. Their platform unifies payments, billing, collections, core workflows, and operational processes into a single, scalable system used daily by thousands of organizations and families across the region.
They are now looking for a Head of Product Design to build, lead, and professionalize Design as a true system-level discipline across a multi-product ecosystem.
This is a foundational leadership role with high visibility and real ownership.
About the role
As Head of Product Design, you will be responsible for elevating design from execution to strategy — shaping how products are conceived, built, scaled, and adopted.
This role goes far beyond UI.
You will:
- Lead design across end-to-end systems, not isolated screens
-
Connect customer experience with operational reality and automation
-
Build and own a production-grade design system (not just in Figma, but in code)
-
Partner deeply with Product, Engineering, AI/Data, and GTM teams
-
Be co-accountable for adoption, usability, and real-world outcomes
Reporting directly to the Chief Product & Technology Officer, youll play a key role in defining the long-term platform vision and how design enables scale, trust, and AI-driven innovation.
What youll lead
-
Build and scale the Design function, principles, and operating model
-
Establish strong discovery, critique, and validation practices
-
Design for complex workflows, internal tools, and admin-heavy systems
-
Create and maintain a shared, scalable design system across products
-
Collaborate directly in the codebase with engineers (React-based stack)
-
Unify experiences across historically separate platforms
-
Coach, mentor, and grow a high-performing design team
-
Partner on AI-enabled, data-driven, and automation-focused experiences
What were looking for
