Principal Product Designer - SlideShare

Overview

Slideshare is evolving fast, guided by a multi-year strategy to modernize discovery, elevate the core experience, and grow the business. We are hiring a Principal Product Designer to lead design on Slideshare—a senior partner to Product, Research, Analytics, and Engineering who sets the vision, raises the bar for quality, and mentors a small team of designers to create meaningful impact.

What You’ll Do

• Lead vision and strategy—set the north star and near-term bets with pillar leads and partners, turning long-term vision into testable hypotheses and iterative projects.
• Uplevel quality—establish patterns, systems, and team rituals that raise craft across Slideshare and keep the experience cohesive, accessible, and performant.
• Mentor and multiply—coach senior / junior designers, modeling crisp decision-making, and upleveling interaction and visual polish.
• Turn ideas into evidence—prototype, run focused studies with UXR, and partner with Analytics to quantify impact.
• Align across brands—work with design counterparts across brands to avoid design debt, share components where sensible, and keep AI surfaces coherent.
• Communicate with influence—drive crisp narratives, reviews, and decision docs that create alignment and momentum at the org level.
