About the role

We're looking for someone who can own everything inside the Design team—the people, processes, and rhythms that keep a 50+ member creative team healthy, utilized, and continuously growing. This is the operational backbone of the team: someone who always knows who's working on what, who's overloaded, who's available, who's due for a review, and who's joining or leaving—and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

• Work with the Director of UX and the Project Management team to staff projects with the right people at the right time, balancing skills, growth needs, and workload

• Plan capacity ahead of incoming work and support hiring forecasts with utilization data
