Job Description

The Head of UX at Kraken is responsible for leading the design and development of the company's design system, setting high standards for user experience, and inspiring a global team of designers and researchers to create innovative, accessible, and impactful energy solutions that transform the industry.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and evolve Kraken's design system into a comprehensive, authoritative resource for multiple product lines.
  • Define and set high standards for UX, including interaction, content, research, accessibility, and storytelling.
  • Lead, inspire, and grow a global team of designers, researchers, and design system specialists, fostering a culture of critique and excellence.
  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to shape product strategy, influence priorities, and ensure user-centric solutions.
  • Implement continuous discovery and research methods to generate actionable insights and embed evidence into product decisions.
  • Scale design operations, rituals, tooling, and playbooks to promote clarity and efficiency without unnecessary bureaucracy.

Requirements

  • Experience in building and evolving design systems into a single source of truth that powers multiple product lines, including thinking about tokens, variants, accessibility, AI patterns, and customer journeys.
  • Ability to define and set high standards for interaction, content, research, accessibility, and product storytelling to establish a UX bar that becomes a household name.
  • Proven leadership experience in leading, inspiring, and growing a global team of designers, researchers, and design-systems specialists, including managing managers and building a culture of critique.
  • Strong strategic skills to shape product bets, influence priorities, and co-create strategy with Product and Engineering teams, including making data-driven decisions and stopping solutions that do not serve users well.
  • Expertise in continuous discovery, qualitative and quantitative research methods, and integrating evidence into product decisions to create a research engine that reduces guesswork.
  • Experience in scaling design operations, rituals, tooling, and playbooks to enable clarity and efficiency without unnecessary bureaucracy or pixel policing.
  • Ability to influence and collaborate with cross-functional teams at a senior level, including shaping product strategy and influencing priorities.
  • Demonstrated experience in setting and maintaining high standards for UX, interaction, content, accessibility, and storytelling across multiple products or platforms.
  • Proficiency in creating and maintaining design systems that include tokens, variants, accessibility features, AI patterns, and customer journeys.
  • Experience in building a culture of critique and fostering an environment where designers can produce their best work.
  • Strong communication skills to articulate standards, strategies, and insights clearly across teams and stakeholders.
  • Educational background or equivalent experience in design, human-computer interaction, or related fields (specific degree requirements not explicitly stated but implied by senior leadership role).
