What You Will Do In This Role
As the Director of Design at Inflect, you report directly to the VP of Technology and will sit within the Engineering team and lead our design function with true authority. This is a highly visible and strategic hands-on role where you set the UI/UX and brand direction, make the tough calls, and relentlessly drive them into our shipped product and marketing surfaces.
This isn't a role for someone who just wants to manage a strategy; it's for an operator-leader who demands a studio-grade craft bar and understands the technical nuances of bringing designs to life. Working tightly with Engineering, Marketing, and Product, you will transform complex, data-dense workflows into intuitive, beautiful experiences. You are the architect of Inflect’s visual language, ensuring our digital infrastructure marketplace looks, feels, and moves better than anything else in the industry — on par with the best studio-built sites on the web.
Who You Are
You are a design authority with a "boots on the ground" execution mindset. You don't just look at high-level concepts; you dive into the mechanics of visual, interaction, and motion design. You possess the ability to translate genuinely complex product flows into elegant, usable interfaces. You are a collaborator who thrives when partnering with frontend engineering to ensure that your motion and craft survive implementation.
You absolutely hate sloppy execution or disjointed branding, to the point where you might think you obsess over these things a little too much. You probably have to work hard to not let “perfection” get in the way of “great”. But, your strong can-do attitude and your innate commitment to reach a high standard no matter what it takes ultimately serve you well. You view yourself as a "Force Multiplier," and relish the idea of getting to hire, grow, and lead a design team while setting the uncompromising standards the function works to. You are driven by a cohesive visual language and have a deep mastery of prototyping (Figma, Framer, and/or code-aware tooling).
You will excel in this role if you feel like we're talking about you when we say the ideal candidate brings the following to the table:
Who We Are
We're revolutionizing the way companies buy and sell digital infrastructure (Datacenter, cloud, and network services), and we're extremely proud of that. Digital infrastructure services are the building blocks of the Internet and at the core of every industry. Traditionally, it's been bought manually through service provider salespeople, resulting in high costs, slow procurement cycles, and services that aren't the best fit - slowing down the ability of companies to build and innovate. Inflect's marketplace and advisory are removing friction so any company can get what they need, when they need it, with the right deal terms. By achieving our mission, we unlock businesses to build and human innovation to inflect!
Of course, we're also a startup, and it's important that you understand what that means if you work for us. We work quick, we work smart, we work hard, and the road to success is filled with some of the highest highs, but also has its fair share of lows. If you're looking for the same thing day in and day out, this will not be the place for you. (And that's totally okay!) We're all owners of Inflect -full time employees receive option grants-, and we know that we're the reason we'll achieve our goals, or we'll be the reason we don't. So believe me when I say that we're hell bent on achieving our goals. If this sounds like the kind of environment you would thrive in then we'd love to have you!
