We are building that system. And we need a Design Tech Manager to build and lead the team that makes it real.

Hire, develop, and retain a high-performing team of Design Technologists and AI prototypers; own their growth, performance, and career trajectories

Set clear expectations, provide direct and actionable feedback, and conduct rigorous performance assessments in partnership with other design technology leaders

Build a team culture grounded in craft, speed, and learning, where shipping a working prototype beats presenting a polished deck

Actively recruit and grow design technology talent across the organization; mentor individual contributors at multiple levels

Lead the team in building large-scale, production-quality prototypes for POD's highest-priority AI and creative initiatives

Establish and enforce technical standards across prototype and reference code, including security, maintainability, scalability, and extensibility

Drive adoption of shared prototyping tools, frameworks, and platforms across the design org; create infrastructure that multiplies team output

Serve as a trusted technical voice for engineering partners; earn credibility through demonstrated quality and architectural thinking

Own the team's delivery against POD's roadmap; break complex, ambiguous problems into parallel workstreams and drive execution with limited guidance

Operate at the intersection of design and engineering, embedding directly with product and science teams to pair on implementation and polish in production

Compress the cycle from design concept to live production test; move fast on standardized formats and faster on novel ones

Identify and resolve root causes of endemic workflow problems; build tools and services that increase team throughput

Influence UX strategy and technical direction across POD and its partner organizations

Build consensus across discordant views; represent the design technology perspective in planning, roadmap, and architecture conversations

Partner with creative, product, and science leadership to ensure prototype work is grounded in real advertiser and shopper problems, and that winning experiments have a clear path to scale
