And we’re just getting started. This is your chance to join as we enter hyper-growth and make a massive impact, forever changing the way people buy and sell B2B SaaS. 

We're looking for an energetic design leader who's excited about leading a growing team, but also happy to roll up their sleeves and help with execution.

• Represent your team effectively, substantiate the work and the decisions behind them, and be an advocate for user-centered design.
• Shape and evolve the overall design culture, vision, principles, and process at Vendr.
• Partner with recruiting to help attract and hire top design talent.

What we need:

• Have 8+ years in product design and 2+ years of experience leading a team of designers.
