Product Design Manager at PlayPlay

At PlayPlay, we are on a mission to turn every message into a memorable video. Since our founding in 2017, we have grown into a powerhouse platform used by over 2,500 large and mid-sized companies, including two-thirds of the CAC40. With 230 employees across Paris, New York, and Berlin, and $65 million in funding, we are proud to be recognized as a member of the French Tech 120. We are backed by world-class investors like Insight Partners and Balderton, all of whom share our vision of becoming the global leader in video creation. We thrive on a culture of ambition, transparency, and teamwork, and we are looking for a visionary leader to help us shape the future of our product.

The opportunity

We are looking for our first Product Design Manager to join our team in France. Design is at the very heart of our product organization, and we need a leader who can bridge the gap between complex B2B challenges and intuitive, beautiful user experiences. Reporting directly to our VP of Product, Pauline Marol, you will play a pivotal role in coaching a team of three talented product designers while defining the strategic vision for our platform. This is an executive-level opportunity to build our design culture, establish operational excellence, and ensure that our design standards remain best-in-class as we continue our rapid global expansion.

A day in the life

• Lead and mentor a team of three product designers, providing consistent feedback and guidance to help them grow while ensuring their work aligns with our broader business goals.
• Define and articulate our long-term design vision, including the development of our design system and the establishment of robust processes that balance speed with high-quality output.
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering stakeholders to identify strategic opportunities, using user feedback and industry trend analysis to drive innovation across our platform.

Who you are

You are a seasoned design leader with at least 10 years of experience in product design, specifically within complex B2B environments. You possess a sharp creative eye, capable of jumping from low-fidelity sketches to pixel-perfect designs to support your team. You are a natural collaborator who thrives on brainstorming and values diverse perspectives. Because you will be communicating design directions to senior stakeholders and founders, you must be a confident communicator. You are fluent in English, and while our product team conducts much of its internal work in French, you are comfortable navigating both languages in a professional setting.

Why you'll love it here

Joining PlayPlay means becoming part of a hyper-growth scale-up where you can truly make an impact. We offer a hybrid work model that provides flexibility, including four weeks of full-remote work per year from locations with a compatible time zone. You will be surrounded by a supportive team that values humility and drive, evidenced by our high Glassdoor rating. Beyond the work, you will enjoy a variety of social activities organized by our Happiness team, ranging from music quizzes to seminars, all within an environment that celebrates diversity and inclusion.
