Director, Product Designer, Consumer

Job Description:

Prodege: A cutting-edge marketing and consumer insights platform, Prodege has charted a course of innovation in the evolving technology landscape by helping leading brands, marketers, and agencies uncover the answers to their business questions, acquire new customers, increase revenue, and drive brand loyalty & product adoption. Bolstered by a major investment by Blackstone in Q1 2026, Prodege looks forward to more growth and innovation to empower our partners to gather meaningful, rich insights and better market to their target audiences.

As an organization, we go the extra mile to Create Rewarding Moments every day for our partners, consumers, and team. Come join us today! Read this part first:
This is a build-a-practice role, not a manage-what-exists one. Prodege is moving fast and changing fast, and we need a design leader who finds that energizing rather than exhausting. If you want an established design org with a mature system and a settled roadmap, this isn't your role, and that's okay. But if you're the kind of leader who walks into ambiguity and sets the bar, who'd rather build a team and a practice than inherit a finished one, and who still loves the craft enough to roll up your sleeves on the work that matters most, keep reading.

One thing to be clear about up front: this is a player-coach role. You'll have designers reporting to you, but you'll also do hands‑on design on the highest‑impact work. You're building a team and a practice, not just running one.

You'll lead Product Design at Prodege, owning the design vision, quality, and team across our consumer (B2C) and business (B2B) products. Our consumer apps are the heart of the ecosystem (about 80% of your focus), serving millions of members who earn rewards through surveys, games, shopping, and offers. Our B2B products serve the clients and partners who power that ecosystem. You'll operate as a strategic partner to Product, Engineering, and Marketing leadership, owning how design contributes to business outcomes, customer trust, and long‑term product vision.

This role shapes how millions of members discover, engage with, and find value in Prodege’s products, translating complex reward and loyalty mechanics into intuitive, delightful, accessible experiences that drive acquisition, activation, engagement, and long‑term retention. You'll report to the Chief Product Officer and partner directly with Product Management, Engineering, Data, and Marketing leadership.

• Design vision and strategy. Set the direction for how Prodege's products look, feel, and work across our B2C and B2B products, designed intentionally for their distinct users and contexts.
• The team. Hire, mentor, and develop a high‑performing design team. Set clear expectations, give direct feedback, and create an environment where designers do career‑best work.
• Design quality and craft. Establish the bar. Whether it's a member onboarding flow or a client‑facing dashboard, the end product should be intuitive, polished, and grounded in real user needs.
• Systems and scalability. Build and evolve design systems that let the team move fast without sacrificing consistency or accessibility.
• Outcomes, not just outputs. Partner with Product and Data so design decisions connect to the metrics that matter: activation, retention, engagement, and client satisfaction.

• Design vision and strategy Set and communicate design vision, principles, and direction across Prodege’s consumer product portfolio.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Data leadership to align design strategy with business goals and roadmaps.
• Translate complex reward and loyalty mechanics into intuitive, delightful experiences across web and…
