Your team sits at the intersection of product and brand — acting as the creative bridge between Workato's global product organization and its customers. You'll define and steward Workato's creative identity across a wide range of surfaces: from YouTube videos and conference decks to in-product illustrations, icons and documentation design. The work is varied, the impact is visible, and the standard is high. This is a player-coach role. You'll manage the workload and growth of your team while staying personally hands-on with design work. A big part of what makes this role work is stakeholder management — you'll field inbound requests from across the company, align on priorities with leaders in product and marketing, and make sure your team's work lands well with the people it's made for. You're energized by both the people side and the creative side, and you understand that the best design managers are still great designers. If you love working on complex visual problems, have a sharp eye for craft, and thrive in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment — you'll fit right in. What You'll Do Lead, manage, and mentor a team of Digital Designers — owning their workload, prioritization, and professional growth. Stay hands-on with design work: take on complex creative tasks directly, set the quality bar, and model the standard for your team. Develop and evolve Workato's visual creative identity, keeping it synergetic with the Workato brand language and product design system. Own the design and delivery of a wide range of content, including YouTube videos for Product Hour, presentation decks for customer-facing roadmap sessions and conferences, and digital marketing campaigns. Own the design and delivery of in-product assets, including product illustrations, icons and Pendo guides. Own the design and delivery of assets for Workato's product blog and documentation website — illustrations, GIFs for blog articles, visual assets for product docs pages, and the website design for our documentation site. Manage stakeholder relationships across product, marketing, and leadership — fielding inbound requests, setting expectations, aligning on priorities, and ensuring your team's work serves the right goals at the right time.
