UX​/UI Design Manager

UI/UX Design Manager

At Webstaurant Store, we help businesses thrive. From everyday supplies to hard-to-find products and services, we're focused on making it easier for our customers to run their operations efficiently, profitably, and with confidence. Our private label brands are a growing part of that story, and the marketing brochure sites that represent them play a key role in building trust and communicating quality to our customers.

We're looking for a UI/UX Design Manager to lead a small team of designers shaping the marketing sites for our private label brands. You'll guide designers through discovery and delivery, helping them create polished, on-brand experiences that build trust, communicate quality, and drive customers deeper into our ecosystem.

You'll have a proven track record of leading a small team (3+) and know how to balance hands-on design work with coaching, developing designers, fostering collaboration, and partnering with marketing and engineering to bring brand experiences to life.
