We're looking for a hands-on Product Design Manager who leads by example — someone who's passionate about building great experiences with their team, shaping strategy through design, and raising the bar on quality and impact.

In this role, you'll guide a team of talented Product Designers working alongside Product and Engineering in shipping high-quality, customer-centric experiences. You'll be deeply involved in defining what we build and how we build it — ensuring design plays a central, strategic role in shaping OLX.

This is a highly collaborative role where you'll switch fluidly between leading design direction, coaching designers, and rolling up your sleeves to help your team solve real customer problems. You'll champion design craft, user advocacy, and continuous learning — helping your team grow their impact and capabilities.

Please note that this role is based in Poland. Remote work within Poland is possible; however, you must be based in and legally eligible to work in Poland. Remote work from outside Poland is not possible.

• Lead and grow a high-performing team of Product Designers — coaching, mentoring, and supporting them in delivering excellent work and growing their craft.
• Shape the product strategy with your cross-functional partners, ensuring customer insights and design vision directly influence what we build.
• Drive design quality — lead critiques, design reviews, and feedback sessions to raise the standard of what we ship.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to align on priorities, balance speed and quality, and ensure smooth collaboration from discovery to delivery.
• Establish strong design practices — helping teams improve their processes, leverage systems, and work efficiently.
• Foster a culture of excellence and learning, empowering your team to experiment, challenge assumptions, and take ownership.
• Stay close to customers and data — using insights to inform decisions, validate impact, and guide iteration.
• Recruit and onboard strong, diverse design talent to continue elevating the team.

• Proven experience leading design teams that deliver high-quality, user-centered products.
• 5+ years in product design, with at least 2 years in a people management role.
• A portfolio that shows team impact — not just your design work, but how you've grown people and improved outcomes.
• Experience influencing product direction and connecting design decisions to business outcomes.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills — you can translate design thinking into action across teams.
• A bias toward hands-on leadership — you enjoy getting into the details when needed.
• Comfort working in fast-moving, cross-functional environments.

• The chance to shape a strategic area of OLX's customer experience with a talented, ambitious team.
• A strong international community of designers and design leaders to learn from and collaborate with.
• Space to grow your strategic and leadership skills while staying close to the craft.
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits (including health insurance, bonus scheme, and more).
• Learning & Development budget and structured growth support.
• Flexibility in how and where you work.
