Founded in 2021, Jasper is a remote-first organization with team members across the US, France, and Australia. ABOUT THE ROLE As Director of Product Design at Jasper, you will lead a small, fast-moving design team and define how marketers work with AI. This is a player-coach role for someone who has built and grown high-performing design teams without losing their own obsession with craft — the weight of a typeface, the rhythm of an interaction, the clarity of an information hierarchy — and who leads from the front in a new, AI-native way of building. You won't just direct the work; you'll be in it: prototyping, vibe coding, and shipping alongside the team. This role carries three things at its core. First, you'll guide the design strategy of Jasper and help define the future of how enterprise marketing teams use AI. You'll set the vision for what our product feels like to use and make the calls that shape where design takes the company. As our design leader, you'll maintain the highest standards of visual and interaction design across the product, with the kind of polish and consistency that enterprise customers paying six and seven figures expect. As a member of the EPD leadership team, you will also work alongside Product and Engineering leaders to keep evolving how we build software with AI. Jasper has already aggressively evolved how we use AI to build software, and we want to keep accelerating. On the design side, that means exploring emerging ways to use Cursor, Claude Code and Claude Design, operationalizing design-to-front-end pipelines, and setting up our design system and context to improve the ability of coding agents to use the right components and follow the right design patterns. This fully remote role reports to the Chief Product Officer and is open to candidates located anywhere in the continental US.  WHAT YOU WILL DO AT JASPER - Own and guide the design strategy for Jasper, setting the vision for how enterprise marketing teams will work with AI and making the design calls that shape where the product and company go - Maintain the highest standards of visual and interaction design across the product.
