What are we looking for :

We are looking for a Lead Product Designer who can drive product thinking and execution at scale. This role requires a balance of strong hands-on design skills, strategic thinking, and the ability to influence teams and outcomes. You will work on high-impact problem areas such as student engagement, learning outcomes, and growth for JEE/NEET and emerging segments like Class 610.

You should be comfortable working in ambiguity, building from first principles, and shaping both product direction and team culture. As a lead, you will not only design solutions but also define problems, guide teams, and ensure design drives meaningful user and business impact.

Role and Responsibilities :

- Product Ownership: Define and drive product problems end-to-end from discovery to delivery and iteration.

- Design Excellence: Translate complex problems into intuitive flows, prototypes, and high-quality designs, making strong design decisions under ambiguity.

- Outcome Focus: Define success metrics and continuously improve experiences based on data and user feedback.

- Collaboration & Influence: Work closely with cross-functional teams and drive alignment through clear communication and strong design rationale.

- Mentorship: Guide and support designers, raising overall team quality and problem-solving ability.

- Systems Thinking: Contribute to scalable design systems and evolving interaction patterns, including AI.

- User Understanding: Drive user understanding through research and data, ensuring insights directly inform product decisions and strategy.

- AI-Enabled Workflows: Leverage AI capabilities to design smarter, more adaptive user experiences, and champion the use of AI in both product thinking and design workflows.

Required Qualifications :

- 5 to 7 years of experience in product design, with proven ownership of features or product areas end-to-end.

- Experience working in 01 or fast-scaling product environments is a strong plus.

- Strong ability to define and solve user problems, not just execute on given requirements.

- Demonstrated experience working closely with product, engineering, and business teams to drive outcomes.

- Solid foundation in UX, interaction design, and visual design, with a portfolio showcasing both problem-solving and craft.

- Experience designing complex or ambiguous systems (e.g., multi-step journeys, behavioral flows, or data-driven products).

- Ability to define success metrics and iterate based on user feedback and product data.

- Experience mentoring or guiding designers, and contributing to raising design quality within a team.

- Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and drive alignment.

- Ability to balance speed and quality, making pragmatic trade-offs when needed.

- Strong bias for action, experimentation, and continuous learning.
