Product Design Lead (render.ai)

Meet render.ai http://render.ai, monday.com http://monday.com's new AI venture. At render.ai http://render.ai, we're redefining how humans use AI for work. render.ai http://render.ai enables anyone to bring ideas to life in minutes, using their words. We're a small, autonomous team - closer in spirit to an early-stage startup than to an established company. There's no fixed playbook: we're still figuring out what the product looks like, and every engineer helps shape that, not just build it.

About the role: Define and drive the design vision for a product built from the ground up. You’ll own the design end-to-end, from discovery and strategy to polished, shipped experiences, working closely with engineering and leadership, and using AI tools and rapid prototyping to move fast.

• Lead and mentor the design team
• Set the design vision and principles
• Drive ambiguous problems from exploration through launch
• Design AI-native workflows that make creating visual content effortless
• Raise the bar on visual and interaction craft
• Influence product strategy and roadmap
• Build design systems, components, and templates that scale
• Use AI tools and coding agents to prototype and accelerate execution
• Validate ideas through research and customer feedback

Requirements:

• 8+ years of product design experience shipping high-quality products
• Track record of driving design direction, ideally on 0-to-1 products
• Exceptional visual and interaction design, with a strong portfolio
• Strong product sense and strategic thinking
• High AI fluency
• Experience building and scaling design systems
• Systems thinking and the ability to influence through collaboration with engineering
• Builder mentality, comfort with ambiguity, balance of speed and quality
• Excellent communication, low ego, team-first
• High proficiency in Figma and prototyping
• High-level English

Nice to have: Experience with AI-native or creative tools, B2B SaaS, startups or autonomous teams, and shipping with coding agents.
