Role

We’re seeking a visionary VP of Design to lead all aspects of design at Gantri — spanning digital product (UI/UX), industrial design, and brand experience. You’ll unify our design language across software, physical products, Design System, and marketing, shaping how the world experiences Gantri.

You’ll lead and grow a multidisciplinary design team, collaborate across Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Manufacturing, and champion design excellence at every level—from strategic vision to craft-level details.

Responsibilities

• Set and execute a holistic design vision across Gantri’s digital platform, physical products, and brand.
• Lead and inspire a cross-functional design team (industrial, UX/UI, and brand designers).
• Partner with Product and Engineering to deliver intuitive, scalable digital experiences for designers and brands.
• Oversee the development of cohesive design systems that span digital UI and physical form.
• Guide the industrial design team to deliver high-impact, manufacturable products using our on-demand production methods.
• Elevate the Gantri brand across all touchpoints—website, packaging, showroom, and beyond.
• Be a key member of the leadership team, helping shape company strategy and culture.

Qualifications

• 20+ years of design experience, with at least 5 in a leadership role managing both digital and industrial design.
• Deep expertise in digital product design (UX/UI) and industrial design, with a strong point of view on brand and aesthetics.
• Experience leading design at a consumer company where hardware and software meet (e.g. Apple, Nest, Sonos, Peloton, Airbnb, IDEO).
• Strong systems thinking—able to scale design systems across form and function.
• Demonstrated ability to build, lead, and grow high-performing design teams.
• Excellent cross-functional collaborator with product, engineering, and manufacturing.
• Hands-on when needed, but strategic by default.
• Passionate about empowering designers and elevating creativity.

Why Gantri

• Join a company reimagining manufacturing and empowering the next generation of designers and design brands.
• Be part of a high-impact, design-driven organization creating a new industry.
• Lead design across both digital and physical experiences in a fast-growing, purpose-driven environment.
