Tl;DR: We're looking for an outcome-orientated design leader to join us a Head of Product Design. You'll build on a stellar foundation of a world-class team and product with a strong PMF to raise the bar, setting us on a path to become a reference in terms of Product Design. 

Who are we?

On a mission to make video easy for anyone ...

Synthesia is the world’s #1 AI video generation platform. Well, it’s actually a video production studio — in a browser. As in, no cameras or film crews at all. You simply choose an avatar, enter your script in one of 120 languages, and your video is ready in minutes. In Synthesia, you can build personalized on-the-fly videos, give your chatbot a human face or run24/7 weather channels in different languages, to name just a few of the possibilities.

We believe the future of media is synthetic, and we are on a mission to turn cameras into code and make everyone a creator.

Not sure what we’re talking about? Check out our brand video that explains what we’re doing at Synthesia in a way that anyone can *kind of * understand what this AI video stuff is all about.

And yet we are just laying the groundwork for a whole new kind of media here. Imagine joining Uber, Airbnb or Stripe when these companies were just getting started.

That's how early we are – but enough about us now.

Right now, we’re looking for a Head of Product Design to spearhead the design direction for our flagship product, Studio. We’d look to you to take over what we think is a strong foundation and raise the bar, setting us on a path to become a reference in terms of Product Design. Beyond the design work itself, we’d hope for you to bring a strong view on how a high-impact design team should operate and shape the way we work accordingly.

As our Head of Product Design, you’ll:

• Lead the Design direction of Studio and ensure a cohesive and outstanding visual language and user experience.
• Manage and develop the Design team with an eye for ways of working, skills development, tooling and hiring needs.
• Work closely with the Head of Product and VP of Product Engineering on Product Strategy and roadmap.
• Anticipate and plan for the Design investments that will be necessary to take the Product to new heights.
• Not shy away from stepping in and designing yourself on high stakes projects or to support and guide your reports.
