VP of Product and Design

Lead how Worker looks, feels and works, from the first sign-up to the weekly meeting.

About the role

Owners and leadership teams run their company on Worker every week, so every screen has to be clear and easy to trust. As VP of Product and Design, you own the product experience: what we build, why we build it and how it feels to use.

You’ll lead product design and research, next to the product and engineering team, and work closely with the leadership team in the US. You own the product vision, the design system and the research that decides what we build next.

What you’ll do

• Set the product and design direction for Worker with the leadership team.
• Lead design across onboarding, the plan, goals, the scorecard, to-dos, issues and the weekly meeting.
• Talk with owners and leadership teams every week, and turn what you learn into clear product decisions.
• Shape how AI workers help teams prepare for the weekly meeting and follow up on to-dos.
• Use product data and research to decide what to build, then measure what changed.
• Build and coach the design team, and keep our design system clean and consistent.
• Run workshops with leadership and engineering to plan each new version of Worker.

What you bring

• 8+ years in product design or product management for software, including time leading a team.
• A portfolio of products you led from research to launch, and what changed for the people who used them.
• You make decisions with numbers and with customer conversations, and you can defend them.
• Systems thinking: you design the objects and flows behind the screens, not only the screens.
• Experience running workshops with founders, executives and engineers.

Nice to have

• Clear written and spoken English.
• Experience designing AI features that people use every day.
• Hands-on with product analytics and session recordings.
• Czech is a plus.

We design in Figma and plan in Jira, with PostHog and Pendo for product data.

How you’ll live our values

• See it. Own it.If a flow confuses owners or a decision has no owner, you take the next step and fix it, even outside your own lane.
• Learn. Improve. Repeat.You put early versions in front of real teams, watch what pushes back, and make the next version better.
• Say the hard thing.You tell founders and engineers when an idea will hurt the product, while it can still change, then commit once we decide.
• Stay until they win.A design isn’t done when it ships. It’s done when owners run their week with it and trust what they see.
