Carta is in search of a Growth Product Design Lead who is passionate about leading complex, high impact projects, and influencing product strategy through design vision. This person will work with the Growth team which looks at customer acquisition and conversion across Carta as a whole, partnering with Carta’s individual business units to drive growth through both stand-alone Growth projects and in-product upsells and feature development. Our ideal candidate is a seasoned Growth product designer who is savvy, curious, enjoys working cross-functionally, and can effectively communicate vision to leadership.

Additionally you will:

• Work closely with a cross-functional team of engineers and product managers 
• Contribute to building a strong human centered design culture
