The posting

Mentimeter is an engagement company with a simple goal: to make every leader better. Through interaction, insights and recommendations, its platform helps organizations turn participation into better understanding and stronger performance.

Founded in Stockholm in 2012, Mentimeter is used by 20 million people each month across 1.3 million organizations. At Mentimeter, we believe better leadership starts with listening and that the strongest results are achieved together. That’s why we foster a culture built on curiosity, collaboration and shared ownership. By joining us, you’ll help leaders turn participation into deeper understanding and stronger performance, advancing our ambition to help more than one billion people listen, learn and work better together.

The Role

As Design Director for our Scaling Engagement product area, you will own the experience that helps teams and whole organisations get lasting value from Mentimeter, well beyond the moment of the session itself. This is a role for a design leader who sets direction by shaping the work, not only by managing it.

You will join a product company at a pivotal moment. Mentimeter has become very good at creating a great engagement in the moment. The hardest and most valuable design problems now sit in what comes after: turning that engagement into results people act on, insight that holds over time, and lasting value across an organisation. That is the problem this area owns, and it is one of the least solved in our space. You will operate in two primary contexts: within your Product Area Leadership, where the work happens alongside the Product Director and Engineering Director, and within the Design Leadership Team, partnering the Chief Design Officer and fellow Design leaders. You will define the experience direction for your product area and make sure design decisions translate into measurable customer and business impact.

You will report to the Chief Design Officer.

What we are looking for

We are looking for a design leader who leads through the work. Someone with the judgment to set a clear experience direction and the hands-on capability to raise the quality bar by shaping, critiquing, and making alongside the team.

You have led and managed designers in fast-moving, product-led environments, and you have earned your credibility through the impact and quality of your work. You are as comfortable owning experience strategy for a product area as you are getting into the detail of a flow that isn't good enough yet. You operate as a true peer to product and engineering leaders, and you believe design is at its best when it drives outcomes, not when it decorates them.

In this role, you will:

  • Set the experience direction: Define a clear experience vision and architecture for your product area, and hold the quality bar that makes it real.
  • Design for value that grows: Turn engagement into lasting results, insight, and adoption, designing for the team and the organisation, not only the single session.
  • Turn data and insight into experience: Treat analytics, results, and recommendations as core design material, using AI to help teams and organisations see what matters and act on it.
  • Drive product impact through design: Own the link between design decisions and the metrics that matter here, including retention, expansion, and how deeply and widely teams adopt Mentimeter.
  • Lead as a peer in the area: Work alongside the Product Director and Engineering Director to shape area strategy and roadmap, driving user and experience thinking into the decisions that set direction.
  • Own coherence across the Engagement Suite: Take responsibility for experience quality where journeys cross into adjacent areas, so scaling engagement feels like one connected experience, not a set of separate tools.
  • Develop the craft and the team: Recruit, coach, and grow Product Designers primarily through the work itself, including a dotted-line group of designers in our Growth area, calibrating performance honestly and having the direct conversations that help people grow.
  • Raise the bar with your peers: Work with fellow design leaders to hold shared experience principles and a shared quality standard across the craft, giving and taking critique at leadership level.
  • Evolve practice through AI: Push how design understands, explores, prototypes, and delivers with AI, increasing speed and quality while protecting product thinking and craft.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in design, including mid-to-senior management experience leading designers in fast-moving, product-led organisations.
  • Proven track record of creating impactful product outcomes through design leadership and delivery.
  • High personal design capability, with a portfolio that demonstrates craft judgment and range.
  • A player-coach leadership style: credible with senior designers, and effective at developing them through the work.
  • Track record of setting experience direction and connecting design decisions to measurable product outcomes.
  • Strong business acumen and the ability to hold your own as a peer to product and engineering leadership.
  • Exceptional communication skills, able to align teams and stakeholders around a clear direction.
  • Practical experience applying AI to design exploration, prototyping, and delivery.

AI and Hiring at Mentimeter At Mentimeter, we believe AI helps us work smarter - but it never replaces the human assessment, curiosity, and personal connection that define our culture and our hiring. We use AI as a sparring partner: to bounce ideas, bring new perspectives, support structure, and make our work more efficient. But the meaning, decisions, and interactions always come from people. AI strengthens our work, but it does not define it. At Mentimeter, we’re not building an AI-driven hiring process - we’re building a people-first culture, where technology helps us listen, learn, and grow together.

Culture at Mentimeter At Mentimeter we believe in giving everyone a voice - regardless of who you are. So we build a platform that does just that. Our platform is not only our product but also our organization. A platform where people feel safe, where differences are embraced, a place where you can have fun. We strongly encourage applicants who are people of color, LGBTQ+, women, people with disabilities, and/or formerly incarcerated people, and a college degree is not strictly required. In order to give everyone a voice, we need to be as diverse as our users.
