Executive Design Director (Brand & Product) at Metalab

This role is for a seasoned creative leader with over 12 years of experience who can bridge the gap between high-level brand identity and technical product design. You need a background in digital-first agencies or top-tier design studios and a portfolio that proves you can still produce world-class work hands-on while managing other directors. **What makes it worth a look...** Metalab is a premier name in the industry, and this position offers the rare chance to influence global brands while remaining fully remote. The "lead by doing" philosophy is perfect if you want to stay sharp in your craft rather than just sitting in meetings, and the EST-focused schedule provides decent overlap for both European and West Coast teams. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have spent at least two years leading design teams at a Senior Director or Executive level. * Can seamlessly integrate motion, 3D, and AI tooling into cohesive brand and product systems. * Are comfortable pitching to founders and executives to sell visionary, high-stakes creative directions. * Live in a timezone that allows for four hours of overlap with PST business hours.
