Define the future of product management. Introducing Productboard Spark.

At Productboard, we believe the world's best products are created by teams who deeply understand their customers' needs - and design experiences that feel effortless, intelligent, and human.

We're seeking a Director of Design to lead our design organization as we enter a new era of AI-first product management. You'll guide a talented team of product designers, UX writer, and design system expert through an exciting transformation of how modern product teams work in partnership with AI.

Reporting to the Martin Felcman, Sr. Director of Product, you'll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Customer Experience to define and deliver the next generation of Productboard's experience. You'll set the vision for design quality, clarity, and consistency across our platform - and help make our AI-first agentic experience the default for all customers.

• Define and drive Productboard's design vision for an AI-first enterprise platform - how agentic systems and human workflows blend.
• Champion world-class craft in interaction design, visual execution, and UX writing.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to turn strategy into experience.
• Evolve our design system into a flexible, AI-aware framework that supports scalability and innovation.

10+ years of experience in product design, including 3+ years in design leadership within B2B SaaS or enterprise platforms.

• Proven experience leading multidisciplinary teams.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating design craft, systems thinking, and measurable impact.
• Strategic communicator who can align executives and partners around design vision.

Passionate about the intersection of AI, design, and human creativity.

• Known for fostering collaboration and raising the design bar.

• Partner with exceptional peers in Product, Engineering, and Marketing.

Shape how AI will redefine the craft of product management.

• Collaborate across San Francisco, Prague, and Brno - with opportunities for travel and deep cross-team exchange.
• Build products that matter for the best product teams in the world.

We're redefining how product management works in the AI era.

Productboard Spark isn't another AI feature - it's a reimagining of the entire craft of product management.

Think of Spark as a highly capable PM colleague that can instantly process vast information, synthesize insights, and surface opportunities. It deeply understands your product, your strategy, and your challenges.

Our decade of experience in product workflows gives us a unique advantage: we know where AI should amplify human judgment and where it should get out of the way.

Our platform blends natural language with structured UI elements - dashboards, matrices, and visualizations - to help teams think and work the way real product managers do.

Thousands of customers already trust us with their product data. With AI, we can finally unlock its hidden insights and help teams make better, faster decisions.
