The Role

We’re looking for a strategic, creative, people-first Director of Product Design to lead the vision, strategy, and evolution of design and user experience at CompanyCam. Reporting to the VP of Product, you’ll guide and grow our Product Design organization, empowering designers to do the best work of their careers while delivering intuitive, compelling experiences for our users.

In this role, you’ll champion our belief that a world-class user experience is one of our biggest competitive advantages. You’ll partner closely with leaders across Product and Engineering to shape discovery, guide execution, and drive the level of craft and quality our customers expect. Most importantly, you’ll set the direction for the future of design at CompanyCam—both in the experiences we create and in the culture we build together.

Working at CompanyCam

Our engineering team is remote-first, spanning every time zone in the United States. We welcome people from all backgrounds and really don’t care whether or not you have a CS degree, or even a high school diploma. All that matters is that you’re not an a**hole and you’re good at what you do.

At CompanyCam, we’re driven to produce work with meaningful outcomes. That means not just dumping features and ‘improvements,’ but being able to reflect and learn from our outputs. We’re actively working to center our work on continuous discovery habits (CDH) as outlined by Teresa Torres.

Okay, that’s how we identify work to do—but how do we actually work? Our teams are made up of a product manager, a product designer, a tech lead, and a group of engineers appropriate to the team’s scope. Rather than being overly prescriptive, we provide guardrails and just enough structure to keep teams moving. Each team is expected to collaborate, iterate, and refine their best practices to produce high-quality work.

• Strengthen shared design systems, ensuring consistent user experiences across product squads.
• Build and support robust user testing and discovery practices to keep customer needs at the center.
