About the role

Design Program Manager to establish the operating system for Everlaw's product design team, bringing structure, visibility, and predictability to AI-powered litigation tools. First dedicated Design Program Manager responsible for reducing operational friction and cross-functional complexity so designers focus on craft and complex user workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Own the design operating model for planning and delivery — define how design work is estimated, sequenced, and handed off, and maintain the system that makes dependencies and timeline risk visible before they become escalations.
  • Define design readiness criteria and coordinate pre-launch quality reviews to ensure shipped features meet high standards for craft, responsiveness, accessibility, and edge cases.
  • Own the working interfaces between Design, Product Management, Engineering, User Research, and Technical Writing — define how scope is agreed, how dependencies are tracked, and where conflicts get decided, so those questions have a standing answer instead of being renegotiated per project.
  • Build and champion lightweight design operations rhythms, frameworks, and templates—such as design briefs and critique structures—to streamline team workflows.
  • Manage design resourcing and bandwidth tracking to inform staffing decisions, highlight capacity constraints, and help leadership plan for future team growth.
  • Own how design's work is represented to the business — build and maintain the reporting layer (capacity, throughput, readiness) that lets product and executive leadership plan against design, rather than assembling narrative updates each cycle.

Qualifications

  • At least 5 years of experience in Design Program Management or Design Operations supporting product design teams in complex, enterprise B2B SaaS or data-heavy environments.
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills with ability to translate design progress and trade-offs into business-relevant narratives for leadership.
  • Strong understanding of user-centered design methodologies, modern UX workflows, and tools like Figma.
  • Experience with project tracking tools like Jira or emerging AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Design).
  • Ability to balance competing priorities across multiple stakeholders and operate with a low-ego, highly collaborative style.
  • Authorized to work in the United States without restrictions; Everlaw not sponsoring F-1 visas including OPT for this role.
