Product Design Director

Hi!

At Factorial, we’re expanding beyond HR and Finance to include IT, Cloud, and Device Management — creating the first truly connected people and IT management experience. We’re looking for a Product Design Director to lead the design and growth from 0 to 5M ARR.

The role ⭐

As a Product Design Director, you’ll lead several product teams in close collaboration with Product and Engineering Directors. You’ll be responsible for building and developing a strong group of Product Designers focused on solving the real, day-to-day problems companies face, helping them reduce cost, time, and errors.

You’ll manage a budget of roughly €3–4M, with the goal of identifying the biggest opportunities within your scope, designing the right team structure, and defining the long-term vision and business plans for your area. You’ll be expected to multiply the investment 2–3x year over year and launch new products from 0 to €1M in under twelve months.

To achieve this, you’ll work closely with potential prospects and existing customers to understand problems first-hand, and with other teams at Factorial, such as Sales and Customer Experience, to identify gaps, set business goals, and define our product vision.

As a Director, you’ll also contribute to the most strategic decisions across the product organization, working with other Product Leaders to align Factorial’s vision and business goals.

About IT

Our goal at Factorial in this space is to help companies manage everything related to devices, security, and access in a secure and automated way. We aim to connect the entire employee journey end-to-end, from the moment they join the company to the moment they leave. The idea is to ensure they receive all the tools they need to start working and that those tools are properly removed when they leave, guaranteeing security and cost efficiency for the company.

The purpose of opening this new vertical is to expand Factorial’s capabilities as a platform and move one step closer to our broader vision: helping companies be more efficient and make better decisions..

• You have 7+ years of experience building digital products and at least 2+ years leading teams.
• You have solid end-to-end design experience across research, ideation, interface design, prototyping, implementation, and validation. You combine strong attention to detail with a hands-on approach, consistently shaping user-centered and innovative products.

• You know how to define long-term product vision, think holistically, and translate that vision into scalable systems for your teams and final business impact.

Process & Next Steps

We understand that applying for a job is an investment, and we want you to have the best possible experience. Here’s what you can expect from our recruiting process—though occasionally steps or timelines may change.

1. People Interview (30 min): A first conversation to get to know each other and align expectations. Feel free to ask anything you want about Factorial.
2. VP Interview (1–2 h): Once we align on the basics, we’ll dive deeper into your previous experience and walk through some of your projects. We’ll open a few Figmas together to understand how you lead decisions from prioritization and problem definition all the way to the final solution. You’ll also get a clearer view of how we work at Factorial, our expectations for this role, and any team-level processes or organizational topics you want to explore.
3. Challenge Interview (1.5 h): In this session, we’ll give you a briefing to assess your ability to evaluate talent and guide designers. You’ll receive the briefing a few days in advance so you can prepare as needed.
4. Meeting the Team: Before making a final decision, you’ll meet other Product Leaders and some of the designers you may work with. This step helps you gain different perspectives and understand the environment you’d be joining.
5. Offer Letter: If everything goes well, we’ll make a formal offer based on all the steps above.

Compensation

The salary range for this position starts at 82.000€. We won't take into consideration how may years of experience you have, but your knowledge and skills.

How We Work

At Factorial, we believe the best products are built when people come together—in person—to collaborate, challenge ideas, and move fast. That’s why our Product team follows an office-first, flexible approach.

We work on-site several days a week (80%), using that time to connect, align, and innovate as a team. However, we also understand the importance of focus and flexibility, so we support remote work when it makes sense (20%)—whether for deep work, personal needs, or just a change of scenery.

This balance helps us stay agile, creative, and closely connected—while giving everyone the space to do their best work.

• High growth, multicultural and friendly environment
• Continuous training and learning based on your needs
• Alan private health insurance
• Healthy life with Wellhub(Gyms, pools, outdoor classes) ♀
