The Opportunity

To achieve our ambitious goals, we’re seeking a Staff Design Program Manager to collaborate with our Growth Design team. This team observes and experiments with customer behavior to scale improvements and optimize the brand and product experience, from a customer's first discovery and impression of a product, through their continued (free and paid) engagement over time. This role will collaborate with team members across the company, particularly with leaders from Product, Engineering, and Marketing. This opportunity is for a design operations leader who can adapt to our current processes and creatively develop, recommend, and experiment with new ones.

Grammarly’s Growth Design team comprises Product Designers, Content Designers, Web Designers, User Experience and Marketing Research, and Design Operations. In the Product organization, the Design organization has the unique opportunity to define how people interact with our product and how our brand comes to life in every interaction and iteration. We are passionate and craft-oriented about all things design—including systems, accessibility, typography, branding, color, and motion in every detail.

As a Staff Design Program Manager, you will anticipate challenges and opportunities to mitigate risks—risks related to project or initiative delivery, quality, and design burnout. You will apply your breadth of experience to systems, models, processes, and prototypes, as well as iterate on the ways our team works, extending from design sprints to comprehensive updates to our Product Development Lifecycle. You will focus on stewarding and evangelizing strategic initiatives for Growth Design, identifying ways to optimize the application of rapid experimentation and enhance user journeys across a multi-product ecosystem. You will also align cross-functional partners and nurture trust across teams. You will work primarily with the Director of Growth Design and collaborate with the Product Design and partner Engineering and Product teams within the Self-Serve and Managed Growth organizations. This role reports to the Head of Design Operations.

In this high-impact role, you will :

• Partner with Growth Leadership on the strategy, scoping, and execution of foundational design processes, including roadmapping, end-to-end development process, and implementation across multiple product pillars of designers, engineers, product managers, and marketers.
• Develop and implement foundational documentation and processes for the Growth Design team by assessing current tools and gaps, and quickly iterate on improvements to achieve a longer-term vision for more seamless workstreams.
• Partner with Growth Design leadership to advance and position how Growth Design shares and socializes learnings and insights that influences customer-centric product direction, from growth experiment practices to fostering best-in-class design processes across onboarding journeys and growth campaigns.
• Support Design Operations on initiatives that affect all of Grammarly Design—including learning and development, resourcing strategies, tool education, brand and asset management, and process improvement that will help us scale and operate effectively.
• Develop and manage a portfolio of holistic programs as the individual directly responsible for ensuring that everyone fully understands their responsibilities to accomplish shared goals. This includes tracking progress and pulling in leadership when needed to guarantee efficiency and driving the delivery of initiatives across multiple teams and product contexts.
