ezCater is the #1 online - and the only nationwide - marketplace for business catering in the United States – a $22 billion market. Our 2M+ on-time ratings and reviews, our 60K+ caterers and restaurants, and our 5-star customer service make it superbly easy for business people to find and order great food for their meetings. We’re backed by Insight Venture Partners and Iconiq Capital, we’re on a path to $1B in 2019, and we’ll get there - even more surely if you come help us.

We believe strongly that good design is core to the success of our business, whether it’s helping caterers manage orders efficiently or optimizing our new customer conversion rate. We’re looking for a Director of Design to lead and scale our talented and passionate design team.

What you’ll do:

  • Help us hire and build out a world-class design team
  • Shape how we practice design as we grow
  • Inspire and mentor other designers, and provide them with clear and compelling career paths
  • Collaborate with Product, Research, and Engineering leadership to shape our product strategy and our cross-functional processes
  • Help us maintain a consistent experience across our products, and partner with Marketing on evolving our brand.
  • Partner with cross departmental leadership, who like you, value design and help champion it
  • Build recognition of ezCater in the design community

What you have:

  • Track record of successfully building amazing teams and implementing lean processes
  • Extensive experience managing both individual contributors and other managers
  • A passion for mentoring and professional development of your team
  • Experience building and implementing design systems
  • A deep commitment to fast iteration and data driven design
  • The ability to attract design talent through thought leadership in the local design community
  • A sharp mind, a soft heart and a large funny bone

What you’ll get from us:

Importantly, you’ll get sane working hours and a huge amount of flexibility around work/life balance. Have people in your life – of any age – who always, often, or sometimes need your help? We make room for that. Have a bad thing or a good thing happen to you? We make room for that, too.

Oh, and here’s what else you’ll get: Market salary, stock options you’ll help make worth a lot, the usual holidays, all-you-can-eat vacation, 401K, health/dental/FSA, long-term disability insurance, subsidized T-passes, a great office smack-dab in Boston’s Downtown Crossing, a tremendous amount of responsibility and autonomy, wicked awesome co-workers, cupcakes (and many more goodies), and knowing that you helped get this rocket ship to the moon.

ezCater is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace humans of every background, appearance, race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, and disability status. At the same time, we do not employ jerks, even brilliant ones.
