Head of Design
About Lefty.io
Lefty is the leading influencer marketing platform trusted by the world's most prestigious luxury and lifestyle brands: Chanel, Dior, Sephora, H&M, and many more. We help brands run end-to-end influencer programs: talent discovery, relationship management, automated campaign reporting, and performance measurement.
We're growing fast in a booming market, and we're looking for an experienced Head of Design to lead and grow our design practice.
Role Description
As our first Head of Design, you won't just manage a team — you'll shape how design is practiced at Lefty. You'll lead a team of 2 Product Designers and 1 Brand Designer, set the bar for quality, and build the processes that will scale with us.
You report to the CPO and operate at the intersection of craft, strategy, and people. You're someone who has thrived in agency environments, knows how to run a project from brief to delivery, and still wants to get their hands dirty on complex product interfaces. You bring structure without bureaucracy, and ambition without ego.
What you'll do
Design leadership & strategy:
Contribute strongly and translate product vision into actionable communication assets
Set the strategy, priorities, and direction for the design system
Pilot the brand platform strategy and report on progress — while actively contributing to its creation
Present design strategy and feature work to internal stakeholders and external clients
Team management & culture, project & process (70%):
Manage, coach, and grow 2 Product Designers and 1 Brand Designer
Build a framework of trust, collaboration and quality — ensuring full use-case coverage, strong UX, and excellent UI
Foster autonomy by setting clear briefs, effort scoping, deliverables, and timelines so designers own their subjects
Integrate Brand Design and Product Design into a coherent, unified output
Structure design initiatives with clear objectives, options, actions, owners, and timelines
Maintain full visibility on design work at all times
Ensure holistic thinking on every design
Craft (30%):
Own complex product features end-to-end: UX discovery, interface design, client presentation, user testing, feedback integration, and dev handoff
Collaboration:
Be a strong facilitator: run co-design workshops, design sprints, brainstorming sessions, and ideation rituals
Run design rituals: critique sessions, retrospectives, team planning, and continuous improvement loops
Work daily with Designers and the leadership team (CPO, CEO, CTO)
Connect regularly with Sales, AMs, Marketing, CSMs, and Product Managers to gather insights and align on priorities
Translate design decisions into clear communication for every audience
What We're Looking For
Must-haves:
8+ years of design experience, with both a significant background in agency and SaaS B2B is a plus
3+ years of formal design management experience
Strong product design craft — you still love making interfaces
Proven ability to run structured design projects: plan, workshop, execute, report
Excellent facilitator — co-design, design sprints, brainstorming, stakeholder alignment
User-centric approach with hands-on UX discovery experience
Rigorous and demanding, with a high bar for quality, completeness, and autonomy
Fluent in English
Bonus:
Experience with design systems in Figma
Familiarity with brand platform work
Working knowledge of how AI integrates into design workflows (asset generation, copy, UX review, prototyping)
Interest in influencer marketing and social media ecosystems
The details
Paris — hybrid (3 days in office / 2 days remote)
Team of 3 designers (2 Product, 1 Brand)
Clients include the world's top luxury houses and brands
High-growth context — 3x revenue target over 5 years

Step 1 — HR interview (45 min): overall fit
Step 2 — CPO call (30 min): design vision, leadership approach, technical depth
Step 3 — Live case study (2h): structured thinking and collaboration
Step 4 — CEO interview (1h): strategic vision and culture fit
