Join MaintainX, a leading B2B SaaS company focused on improving operational efficiency for maintenance technicians, reliability engineers, and operations managers. As a Product Design Manager, you will lead a team of product designers, set creative direction, and partner closely with Product and Engineering teams. You will be responsible for design quality, team growth, and translating product strategy into focused design execution. This role offers flexible time off, competitive salary and equity opportunities, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and training and development investments.

Diriger une équipe de designers de produits, en définissant la direction créative et en assurant la qualité du design.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborer étroitement avec les chefs de produit et les responsables de l'ingénierie pour aligner les priorités et défendre la qualité du design.
  • Encadrer et développer les designers à différents stades de leur carrière, en favorisant une culture d'équipe où chacun donne le meilleur de lui-même.
  • Strong product thinking and craft judgment. You understand customer problems, business tradeoffs, and how to connect design work to strategy. You don't simplify by removing; you simplify by clarifying

Requirements

  • 6+ years of product design experience in B2B SaaS or enterprise platforms. You've shipped complex, multi-surface work and you know what good looks like because you've done it yourself
  • An expert level of English, both spoken and written, is required, as the individual will need to lead platform engineering managers across multiple teams, present technical priorities to executive stakeholders, and align with engineering leaders outside Québec on a daily basis
  • You build trust through how you show up. Consistent, direct, and accountable. You create clarity for your team, resolve friction with partners early, and lead with enough confidence to make decisions and enough humility to change your mind
  • You care about AI-powered product experiences, both in how your team designs for AI-first workflows and in how they use AI tools to push the quality and speed of their own work
  • 1–3 years of experience managing product designers. Running 1:1s, giving feedback that changes the work, navigating performance conversations, and helping people grow. You chose management because you're energized by making others better
  • Experience with frontline, mobile-first, or offline-capable product design
  • Background in industrial, operations, or maintenance-adjacent domains
  • Experience contributing to or scaling a design system
  • Familiarity with designing for AI-powered workflows and data-rich interfaces
