Design Lead

We are open to candidates based in the Americas.

We believe magic happens when thoughtful collaboration and unparalleled expertise come together to turn great ideas into great products. Design Leads at Metalab play a direct role in that magic. They steer projects in the right direction by leading the day-to-day work internally and managing clients' expectations, while also getting into the files themselves. It’s about high-quality output and outcomes.

As a Design Lead, you’ll have a vested interest in helping other designers find their groove. Given that our primary focus is product design, a deep understanding of what it takes to get digital products out the door is our first non-negotiable. Beyond that, you’ve established yourself as someone people look up to, and you don’t take that privilege lightly. You’ll still deal in pixels, but you’ll also play an integral role in a project’s success with clear direction, leadership, guidance, and encouragement. You believe that good ideas can come from anywhere, and you actively support your team in making sure everyone is heard.
