About this role

As a key member of Udemy's Enterprise design leadership team, you will lead product design across our Enterprise business — spanning both the Coursera and Udemy platforms. Reporting to the Head of Enterprise Design, you'll set design vision and direction for how organizations equip their people with in-demand skills, building and coaching a team of product designers along the way.

This is a people-leadership role first: you'll spend most of your time growing designers, shaping team culture, and connecting design work to business outcomes. But you're also expected to be a credible practitioner — able to jump into Figma yourself, prototype with AI tools, and set a concrete design bar when a project needs it, especially for early-stage vision work.

What You'll Do

• Lead and coach a team of product designers across our Enterprise business, covering the full arc from acquisition and onboarding through admin tooling, learning programs, analytics, billing/retention, and partner-driven growth.
• Build strong working relationships with cross-functional partners in product and engineering, acting as a strategic partner who helps shape roadmap and priorities — not just executes against them.
• Use business context and user insight to spot opportunities for design-led innovation and connect work across multiple teams.
• Coach and develop your team: create opportunities for designers to lead initiatives, give direct and honest feedback, and manage performance with clarity and care.
• Shape team culture: build a collaborative, motivated team with a clear sense of purpose tied to our mission.
• Plan for the team's growth: recruit, organize, and deploy talent to match business needs, and identify future leaders within the team.
• Elevate craft quality by bringing in strong examples from peer teams and the industry, and by giving direct, actionable critique.
• Stay hands-on where it counts: personally prototype and visualize concepts — using modern design and AI tools — especially in early vision-setting work, so the team has a concrete bar to build toward.
• Translate design initiatives into quantifiable business value, and contribute to your team's success metrics.
• Balance business value, quality, and effort across multiple workstreams, keeping a bias toward action while tracking key metrics.

What You'll Bring

• 8+ years of experience in product design, with 3+ years leading and managing design teams.
• Experience designing enterprise or B2B products at scale — admin/back-office tooling, business dashboards, or platforms serving large organizations.
• A track record of using AI tools as part of your own design and prototyping process, and of helping your team do the same.
• Strong craft fundamentals: you can still open Figma and produce high-quality, detailed design work yourself when a project calls for it.
• Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous, cross-functional problems into a clear design vision and roadmap.
• Experience partnering with research to build a deep understanding of enterprise customer needs.
• A portfolio that shows both your own design craft and your impact as a design leader — team outcomes, business results, and org-building.

About Your Skills

• Leadership — You lead with humility and clarity, building an environment where designers feel supported, heard, and proud of their work, while modeling strong craft yourself when it matters.
• Collaboration — You partner effectively with cross-functional peers, proactively communicating progress, trade-offs, and risk, and represent your team with integrity.
• Growth Mindset — You value continuous improvement for yourself, your team, and your processes, and create space for feedback, experimentation, and celebrating progress.
• Execution — You translate high-level objectives into a clear roadmap, prioritize effectively, manage complexity, and remove blockers so your team can execute with confidence.
• Business Acumen — You connect design investment to business and user value, and use data to demonstrate design's impact on the metrics that matter to your team's area.

Location

Posting Date: 17 July 2026
