- This role involves deep collaboration across teams to strategize, explore, validate, and build solutions, and will require deep dives into data, journeys, and technical architecture to build experiences and tools that cater to diverse team sizes and roles
- Reporting to the VP, Product & Content Design
- Lead ambitious, strategic design initiatives focused on agentic experiences from new product features, sub systems, component based design system, and tooling
- Own and articulate a compelling vision that charts a path enabling powerful creation, automation, and orchestration along the development lifecycle
- Collaborate proactively with cross-functional teams including Product Management, Engineering, Brand, Marketing, Sales, and Data to shape cohesive strategic roadmaps, ensure effective go-to-market execution, and foster alignment across complex, cross-team initiatives
- Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate innovative concepts to validate hypotheses, clarify strategic directions, build team alignment, and maintain momentum towards delivering exceptional, user-centered experiences

- In addition to the responsibilities outlined above, at Webflow we will support you in identifying where your interests and development opportunities lie and we'll help you incorporate them into your role
Our take
No-code development systems allow users to create and publish the kind of output that was once only possible with the help of a team of developers. Webflow is one such platform that allows non-developers to create professional websites without knowing any code. It joins others such as Pantheon, Weebly, Squarespace, and Wix in a hotly-contested low-code development market. While competition is high, so too is demand, with low-code platforms accounting for more than 65% of application development activity in 2024.
The popularity of platforms such as Webflow is perhaps not surprising, as low-code development is usually cheaper for companies to implement and reduces time to market. Webflow has been used by over 3.5 million designers and teams to create sites for companies including enterprise brands such as Dell, Rakuten, UpWork, and Petal. It raised a large amount of funding in a Series C round in 2022. This is being used to further develop its platform, with a longer-term goal of pivoting to providing a no-code tool not only for websites, but software development as well.
