About The Role

Head of Design

United States, New York; United States, Remote

Dataiku is the Platform for AI Success, the enterprise orchestration layer for building, deploying, and governing AI. In a single environment, teams design and operate analytics, machine learning, and AI agents with the transparency, collaboration, and control enterprises require. The world's leading companies rely on Dataiku to operationalize AI and run it as a true business performance engine delivering measurable value.

Design the Future of an AI Company

The world's most innovative companies are redefining how work gets done with AI. At Dataiku, we're helping lead that transformation, and how we show up in the market matters. We're looking for a Head of Design to shape the next chapter of the Dataiku brand.

This is more than managing a design team. It's an opportunity to define how one of the most innovative enterprise AI companies expresses itself across every experience, campaign, event, story, and interaction. You'll help determine how customers experience Dataiku. How prospects discover us. How analysts, partners, investors, and employees experience our brand. How we create memorable moments on stage, online, in product, and in person.

Earlier this year, we introduced a refreshed Dataiku brand, modernizing our visual identity and positioning to reflect the next chapter of our company. Now we're looking for a creative leader who will continue bringing that brand to life consistently, thoughtfully, and boldly across every touchpoint.

This role will help shape the next phase of our Design organization as we continue to grow, expanding capabilities, embracing new technologies, and ensuring design remains a strategic advantage for the business.
