LocationMenlo Park, CA
Facebook was built to help people connect and share, and over the last decade our tools have played a critical part in changing how people around the world communicate with one another. With over a billion people using the service and more than fifty offices around the globe, a career at Facebook offers countless ways to make an impact in a fast growing organization.

As the leader of the design team, your responsibilities go far beyond simple aesthetics: you will coach both engineering and design to empathize with the user and build beautiful, usable experiences that make the ordinary seem extraordinary. You will define the creative process from start to finish, own the responsibility for delivering the highest quality product with your team of talented designers, and be the design visionary for future Instagram products.

  • Coach, mentor, and scale a world-class team of designers and researchers
  • Guide a team to craft beautifully-composed layouts and deftly-carved pixels
  • Focus on mobile interfaces across iOS, Android, and Windows Phone
  • Create compelling interaction design: it’s not just about how it looks, it’s about how it acts, moves, and feels
  • Maintain and refine our brand and identity: our commitment spans beyond what is submitted to the app store
  • Research, test, and analyze: user data informs and guides our design decisions

Requirements

  • Demonstrated design leadership
  • Proven track record of successful team building and management
  • Impressive history of shipping successful consumer products
  • A strong portfolio that highlights visionary design thinking
