Job Description

Join Everlaw as a Design Program Manager, where you'll establish the operating system for our growing product design team. You'll absorb operational friction and cross-functional complexity, allowing product designers to focus on craft, quality, and solving complex user workflows. You'll own the design operating model for planning and delivery, define design readiness criteria, and manage design resourcing and bandwidth tracking. You'll also build and champion lightweight design operations rhythms, frameworks, and templates, and own how design's work is represented to the business.

  • Establish the operating system for the product design team, bringing structure, visibility, and predictability to the design process.
  • Own the design operating model for planning and delivery, defining how design work is estimated, sequenced, and handed off.
  • Build and champion lightweight design operations rhythms, frameworks, and templates to streamline team workflows.
  • You excel at balancing competing priorities across multiple stakeholders, steering teams through ambiguity with structure, clear prioritization, and empathy
  • You operate with a low-ego, highly collaborative style, finding genuine fulfillment in making design teams visible and successful
  • You've built and scaled lightweight design operations frameworks, delivery plans, and resource tracking processes without stifling creative momentum
  • You bring a strong understanding of user-centered design methodologies, modern UX workflows, and tools like Figma
  • You have at least 5 years of experience in Design Program Management or Design Operations supporting product design teams in complex, enterprise B2B SaaS or data-heavy environments
  • You bring excellent communication and storytelling skills, with a proven ability to translate design progress and complex trade-offs into business-relevant narratives for leadership
  • You have experience working with project tracking tools like Jira or emerging AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Design)
  • You are authorized to work in the United States without restrictions. Please note that at this time, Everlaw is not sponsoring F-1 visas, including OPT, for this role
  • Think you're missing some of the skills and are hesitant to apply? We do not believe in the 'perfect' candidate and encourage you to apply if you feel you can bring value to our team. We often revisit candidates who may have applied for a different role if something comes up that's a better fit
