Compensation (Budget): Up to USD $120,000 per annum + up to 10% monthly performance Bonus

Total Annual Package: Up to USD $136,800 + Comprehensive Benefits based on your location

Location: Remote (Global)

This position is remote, with the option to work from our Dubai office (with 0% income tax), if preferred (relocation and visa sponsorship support available).

Role Overview

We're seeking an innovative AI-First UI/UX Design Manager to join our dynamic team at the forefront of internal innovation.

You'll report directly to the CEO and hold ultimate ownership of our e-commerce web design, revolutionizing our design process and customer experience through the integration of artificial intelligence while transforming the design team's creative process through AI-driven workflows.

The Career Accelerator

You'll compress 3 years of AI-first design leadership mastery into 1. You'll ship high-fidelity web experiences and conversion experiments in your first year. You'll transform how an entire design team works—implementing AI-powered creative operations that eliminate bottlenecks, cutting design to dev handoff time by 40% while rapidly exploring layouts and variants through Figma AI and Firefly, and mentoring your team through a fundamental technological shift that most design leaders won't navigate for years. This pace energises impatient high-performers. It exhausts clock-watchers. If you get frustrated when you're not learning fast enough, you'll thrive here.

What Is In It For You:

This isn't just another design leadership role. This is your chance to become a true industry architect.

1. Pioneer the Future of AI-Driven Design

You won't just use AI tools—you'll architect an entirely new design operating system. You'll build prompt libraries, AI-assisted workflows, and quality frameworks that eliminate bottlenecks and cut handoff time by 40%. You'll design for conversational shopping, semantic search, and AI assistants while your peers are still debating whether to adopt Figma AI. This is your sandbox to experiment with bandit allocation, LLM-powered recommendations, and Gen AI content operations at scale. You'll master the balance between AI velocity and human craft that most designers won't understand for years.

2. Join the Elite Organization and Partner with the 1%:

• 🏆 Top 5 Mattress Brand in US with Over $1 Billion USD in Sales
• 🌍 Great Place to Work Certified
• 💡 Work with Forbes Council Member CEO
• Gain firsthand exposure to strategic decisions and high-velocity execution that drives a global brand

3. Embrace Radical Flexibility

Work from anywhere in the world with meaningful time zone overlap with the Middle East and Europe. Structure your environment around your best thinking — whether that's a home office, a co-working space, or our Dubai headquarters (with full relocation and visa support if you choose). Your output is your credential, not your location.

4. Own the Conversion Engine

You'll have direct P&L impact with clear metrics: add-to-cart conversion lifts, experiment velocity, and design system adoption. You'll present quarterly roadmap reviews directly to the CEO, translating design decisions into business narratives that shape company strategy. This isn't design as decoration—it's design as a revenue driver with full executive visibility and accountability.

What You'll Need:

• 7–10 years in web design for e-Commerce, including 4+ years leading, mentoring, and managing the operations of a design team
• A portfolio that shows shipped PDP/PLP/Checkout improvements tied to clear business metrics
• Expert in Figma (components, variables, Dev Mode); strong visual/motion craft and responsive design sensibility
• Proven experience implementing GenAI tools into a professional design pipeline, with a clear understanding of prompt engineering, quality control, and brand governance
• Familiarity with AI-shaped UX patterns: conversational search, assistant UI, recommendation modules, and their measurement
• Comfort collaborating on experiments (A/B vs multi-armed bandits) with Growth; understands trade-offs between optimization speed and causal certainty
• Working knowledge of WCAG 2.2 and SEO fundamentals for structured content and schema on e-commerce sites

Good-to-Have:

• Experience designing chat or guided-selling flows
