An overview of this role

GitLab is looking for a Product Design Manager to join the Plan & Analytics stage. As a design leader, you own the delivery of UX commitments, are always looking to improve productivity, and are responsible for the user experience in the product. While you are credible as a designer and know the details of what product designers work on, your time is spent hiring a world-class team and putting them in the best position to succeed.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join the Plan & Analytics stages - Working in GitLab's Plan space sits at the most human and strategic layer of the software development lifecycle — where ideas, priorities, and intentions are formed — making it the perfect frontier to explore how AI can augment not just execution, but thinking itself. As AI accelerates the speed at which code is written and shipped, the Plan space becomes even more critical, because the bottleneck is rapidly shifting from "how fast can we build?" to "how clearly can we define what to build and why?" This creates a rare opportunity to reimagine how teams collaborate, how requirements evolve, and how AI can transform a traditionally manual, document-heavy process into a dynamic, intelligent system that connects strategy directly to delivery.

You'll be working closely with the Product Management and Engineering teams to execute on the product roadmap and priorities.

Some examples of our projects: 

• Work Items
• Saved Views
• Software Factory

What you’ll do  

• Proactively identify large, strategic UX opportunities that span both inside your areas and across the product. Work with other product design managers, staff, and principal product designers to drive cross-product initiatives through awareness and prioritization.
• Identify strategic user research initiatives that span multiple stage groups (and possibly the entire product), and work with other product design/research managers to organize research efforts.
• Be a frequent and active participant in milestones by reviewing UX deliverables (such as research and designs) that your team creates, and provide feedback to ensure high-quality output.
• Communicate the value of UX to cross-functional GitLab team members and work with them to leverage the product development flow. 
• Help the product teams of areas you support to prioritize UX initiatives including Deferred UX, triage and resolution of UX bugs, and overall usability improvements to the product. Lead UX Scorecard initiatives in order to consistently measure the experience of your product areas and show improvements over time.
• Contribute to product direction conversations, with emphasis on leading the experience vision for your product areas.
• Hire, grow and retain a world-class team of Designers.

What you’ll bring 

• Experience managing a group of designers remotely, who work on complex products.
• Deep experience building AI experience for the software development lifecycle.
• Deep experience designing for large-scale enterprise platforms.
• Experience defining/executing on the high-level strategy (the why) and creating design deliverables (the how) based on research.
• Experience driving organizational change with cross-functional stakeholders, including Product Management and Engineering.
• Solid visual awareness with understanding of basic design principles and accessibility.
• You share our values, and work in accordance with those values.
• You possess leadership qualities needed to thrive at Gitlab.
• Ability to use GitLab.

About the Role

As a Staff Product Designer, you’ll lead design for cross-cutting platform experiences–the foundational elements that touch every workflow regardless of stage. This role requires deep collaboration; every decision ripples across the product. You’ll partner closely with Product Management, Engineering, and designers cross stages to translate ambiguity into clear direction, define solutions, and ship work that meaningfully improves the experience for developers and DevSecOps teams.

This role will be project based, starting with Knowledge Graph, and solving persistent problems that span organizational boundaries and require a holistic view of the product. Along the way, you’ll share knowledge, contribute to our Pajamas Design System, and mentor other designers. Staff designers are key culture carriers who model collaboration, iterative ways of working while pushing the bar on craft.

What You’ll Do

• Lead design on platform experience – Drive the end-to-end design process for cross-cutting features and workflows that impact users across the product. Define both tactical deliverables that solve immediate user problems and strategic outputs that connect to longer-term platform vision.
• Partner cross-functionally – Coordinate across multiple groups to align on platform-level experiences. Work closely with Product Managers and Engineering Managers to shape priorities, scope MVCs, and ensure design intent is maintained through development.
• Elevate craft and quality – Demonstrate excellence in interaction design, visual design, and systems thinking. Raise the quality bar through thoughtful feedback in design reviews and by modeling high standards in your own work.
• Contribute to the design system – Actively contribute to Pajamas by identifying reusable patterns, proposing new components, and ensuring your group’s work extends and adheres to system standards.
• Mentor and support others – Coach Product Designers and Senior Product Designers through pairing, design critiques, and knowledge sharing. Help onboard new team members and contribute to a collective team culture.
• Ground work in research – Conduct usability studies, competitor evaluations, and formative research. Collaborate with UX Research on problem validation and incorporate insights to fulfill user and business needs.

What You’ll Bring

• Demonstrated ability to lead design on complex, ambiguous projects that require significant cross-functional collaboration
• Strong portfolio showing end-to-end product design work, from problem framing through shipped solutions
• Experience mentoring designers and elevating team craft
• Proficiency with Figma and prototyping tools
• Excellent communication skills–ability to present work, articulate rationale, and facilitate alignment
• Experience collaborating closely with Product Management and Engineering
• Systems thinking and experience contributing to or working with design systems
• Familiarity with developer tools, DevSecOps, or technical B2B products is a plus
• Experience working in remote, distributed teams

Our Hiring Process

1. A 30/45-minute phone call with one of our recruiters to discuss your background, expectations, tell you more about Mirakl

3. Two 45-minute interviews giving you the chance to meet your potential future colleagues at Mirakl while discussing key projects of your career 

✨ Portfolio Guidelines

• Consider your portfolio as a UX exercise. Think about your audience (recruiter, hiring manager), the time available (often a few minutes), and the context in which it will be reviewed (between meetings, sometimes on mobile). Make sure navigation is simple and fast, with a clear structure to move from one project to another and jump to the most important sections. Keep in mind that the portfolio often replaces a design exercise during the hiring process.
• Be concise and decision-oriented. For each project, make the content scannable in a few seconds: the problem, your role, constraints, key choices, and the outcome. Avoid long texts and generic process or workshop descriptions that could apply to any project. If you want to show your method, do it in a dedicated section.
• Put visuals at the center. Use high-quality screenshots and highlight the result of your work. Show the expected level of craft, and briefly explain what the reader should focus on.
• Treat the portfolio as a personal branding exercise. It is a personal project that should reflect your personality while staying professional. The interface should feel spacious, leave room for visuals, and reflect current standards (typography, hierarchy, spacing, clarity).
• Select a small number of highly relevant projects. It is better to show 2 to 4 strong case studies tailored to the role than many average projects. Choose the ones where your impact and leadership are the most visible.
• Clarify your contribution and your level of leadership. As a Lead, we want to understand how you framed the problem, aligned stakeholders, made decisions, prioritized, and improved the practice (guidelines, design system, rituals, quality).
• Show impact, not only screens. Add results when possible (conversion, adoption, time saved, quality, reduced support). If you do not have metrics, explain which signals you used (feedback, testing, analytics, learnings) and what you changed as a result.
