- Formal experience managing a group of designers
- Experience managing a remote distributed team of reasonable size
- Have a passion for scaling design within an organization and hiring talented designers
- Are a manager who leads by example, through their experience in the design practice, and can help solve challenging problems in a complex space
- Experience designing enterprise SaaS products
