A quick-growing US insurance technology company is looking for a Director of Design to lead and elevate its design function from Bangalore. This is a rare player-coach role: you will own the craft, stay deep in the work, and build a team that raises the bar with every hire.

You will shape how insurance gets bought, sold, and serviced for thousands of users, working directly with US leadership on problems that are genuinely unsolved. If you love being hands on and have zero interest in becoming a slides-and-meetings executive, this is built for you.

What You Will Do
- Lead, mentor, and grow a design team of 4 to 6 designers
- Stay hands on: ship high-quality SaaS product design yourself, not just review it
- Discover and sharpen product opportunities alongside product and engineering, not just execute handed-down briefs
- Set and enforce a high design bar across the org through hiring, critique, and craft
- Partner closely with US stakeholders across time zones

What We Are Looking For
- Proven hands-on design leadership:



you enjoy the craft and intend to stay close to it
- Strong B2B SaaS design experience (required); B2B2C exposure is a plus
- Experience managing a team of 4 to 6 designers with a strong hiring track record
- Demonstrated strategic thinking: a history of spotting, shaping, and honing product opportunities
- Experience working with US companies, or strong motivation and readiness to operate in a US product culture
- A portfolio that shows clean, modern desktop SaaS work with clear patterns, a considered aesthetic, and concrete impact callouts. The portfolio itself should feel thoughtfully designed.

Why This Role
- Direct exposure to US leadership and US-scale product problems
- A genuine seat at the strategy table, not a downstream execution role
- Build and shape a team in your image, with real hiring authority
- Insurance is a massive, under-designed space. The upside for great design here is enormous.
