About Disrupt.com Disrupt.com is not just a venture builder-we are the AI-native company factory. Our mission is to launch 100+ ventures with algorithmic speed, where design is the frontline weapon, not a downstream service. We’re building the Disrupt Design System (DDS): a centralized, AI-powered design engine that turns bold ideas into scalable, differentiated ventures in days, not months.
The Role
We’re looking for a Head of Design (UX/UI) who can architect, lead, and evolve the way design operates across Disrupt’s ecosystem of ventures. This is not a traditional design director role-it’s a venture-native, AI-first leadership position where design equals strategy, execution, and unfair advantage.
As Head of Design, you will:● Build and scale the Disrupt Design System-a library of reusable UI/UX patterns, brand kits, and agent-powered templates that every new startup can launch with.● Lead UX/UI excellence across ventures, ensuring that every product, landing page, and funnel is high-performing, conversion-optimized, and distinctively branded.● Shape the new frontier of design: working with AI agents, automation, and reusable components to deliver 70% faster without sacrificing creativity or distinctiveness.● Partner with product, GTM, and founder teams to ensure design is strategy-not decoration.
Key Responsibilities
-
- Design Strategy & Intelligence (HQ) ● Own and evolve the Disrupt Design System (DDS): UI kits, brand systems, UX flows, AI prompt templates, and component libraries.● Codify design standards and frameworks that balance speed, scale, and creative differentiation across 100+ ventures.● Drive design as a strategic function embedded in product and GTM, not a downstream service.
-
- Venture UX/UI Leadership ● Guide embedded design squads across top ventures, providing direction on UX architecture, feature UI, onboarding flows, and CRO-driven product design.● Ensure every venture has a high-performing, conversion-oriented product experience from MVP to growth stage.● Balance custom venture identity with DDS-driven scalability.
-
- Creative Execution & Growth Design ● Oversee design for launch assets: websites, landing pages, signup flows, and GTM creative. ●Drive CRO experimentation and growth design loops, making data-informed design decisions to increase LTV/CAC performance.● Collaborate with the Creative Studio for campaign visuals, ensuring seamless integration between product design and marketing storytelling.
-
- AI-Native Design Ops ● Build workflows where AI + agents handle 70% of repetitive design work, while designers focus on system-building, curation, and innovation.● Oversee Figma libraries, permissions, Notion-based intake boards, and automation tools that ensure 48h launch-readiness for new ventures.● Develop QA systems (AI-assisted) to check design against DDS standards and performance data.
-
- Leadership & Culture ● Lead and mentor a distributed team of designers (generalists, UX/UI specialists, motion designers, system builders). ● Create a feedback-driven design culture with monthly councils, retrospectives, and continuous iteration. ● Be a thought leader internally and externally, representing Disrupt’s design philosophy at events, in media, and with partners.
- What We’re Looking For Must-Have Experience● 8+ years in UX/UI design leadership, ideally across startups, agencies, or venture studios.● Proven ability to design systems at scale (Figma libraries, component frameworks, design ops).● Deep experience in UX architecture, product flows, CRO, and landing page design.● Comfort working in fast-paced, multi-venture environments with overlapping timelines.● Strong grasp of AI design tools (Mid
- Journey, Framer, Runway, Galileo, etc.) and how to integrate them into workflows.● Thinks in systems, templates, and repeatability-not one-off projects.● Believes design is strategy, not service. ● Obsessed with speed-to-impact and measurable outcomes (conversion rates, engagement, LTV/CAC).● Comfortable leading hybrid squads (product + GTM + design) and working cross-functionally.● Taste level that blends Apple’s design rigor with Uncommon Studio’s creative boldness.
- Why Join Us? ● Architect the most powerful venture design system in history.● Lead design across 100+ startups in AI, Web3, SaaS, wellness, and beyond.● Work in an AI-native environment where design tools and agents amplify your impact.● Be part of a visionary venture studio where design is treated as the frontline weapon, not a side function.
- If you’re ready to weaponize design at the scale of 100+ ventures and shape the future of venture design systems, we want to hear from you.
