Om tjänsten
Mentimeter is an engagement company with a simple goal: to make every leader better. Through
interaction, insights and recommendations, its platform helps organizations turn participation into better understanding and
stronger performance.
Founded in Stockholm in 2012, Mentimeter is used by 20 million people each month across 1.3
million organizations. At Mentimeter, we believe better leadership starts with listening and that the strongest results are
achieved together. That’s why we foster a culture built on curiosity, collaboration and shared ownership. By joining us, you’ll
help leaders turn participation into deeper understanding and stronger performance, advancing our ambition to help more than one
billion people listen, learn and work better together.
The Role
As Design Director for our
Scaling Engagement product area, you will own the experience that helps teams and whole organisations get lasting value from
Mentimeter, well beyond the moment of the session itself. This is a role for a design leader who sets direction by shaping the
work, not only by managing it.
You will join a product company at a pivotal moment. Mentimeter has become very good at
creating a great engagement in the moment. The hardest and most valuable design problems now sit in what comes after: turning that
engagement into results people act on, insight that holds over time, and lasting value across an organisation. That is the problem
this area owns, and it is one of the least solved in our space. You will operate in two primary contexts: within your Product Area
Leadership, where the work happens alongside the Product Director and Engineering Director, and within the Design Leadership Team,
partnering the Chief Design Officer and fellow Design leaders. You will define the experience direction for your product area and
make sure design decisions translate into measurable customer and business impact.
You will report to the Chief Design
Officer.
What we are looking for
We are looking for a design leader who leads through the work.
Someone with the judgment to set a clear experience direction and the hands-on capability to raise the quality bar by shaping,
critiquing, and making alongside the team.
You have led and managed designers in fast-moving, product-led environments, and
you have earned your credibility through the impact and quality of your work. You are as comfortable owning experience strategy
for a product area as you are getting into the detail of a flow that isn't good enough yet. You operate as a true peer to product
and engineering leaders, and you believe design is at its best when it drives outcomes, not when it decorates them.
In this role, you will:
- Set the experience direction: Define a clear experience
vision and architecture for your product area, and hold the quality bar that makes it real.
- Design for value that
grows: Turn engagement into lasting results, insight, and adoption, designing for the team and the organisation, not only
the single session.
- Turn data and insight into experience: Treat analytics, results, and recommendations
as core design material, using AI to help teams and organisations see what matters and act on it.
- Drive product
impact through design: Own the link between design decisions and the metrics that matter here, including retention,
expansion, and how deeply and widely teams adopt Mentimeter.
- Lead as a peer in the area: Work alongside
the Product Director and Engineering Director to shape area strategy and roadmap, driving user and experience thinking into the
decisions that set direction.
- Own coherence across the Engagement Suite: Take responsibility for
experience quality where journeys cross into adjacent areas, so scaling engagement feels like one connected experience, not a set
of separate tools.
- Develop the craft and the team: Recruit, coach, and grow Product Designers primarily
through the work itself, including a dotted-line group of designers in our Growth area, calibrating performance honestly and
having the direct conversations that help people grow.
- Raise the bar with your peers: Work with fellow
design leaders to hold shared experience principles and a shared quality standard across the craft, giving and taking critique at
leadership level.
- Evolve practice through AI: Push how design understands, explores, prototypes, and
delivers with AI, increasing speed and quality while protecting product thinking and craft.
Requirements
- 10+ years in design, including mid-to-senior management experience leading
designers in fast-moving, product-led organisations.
- Proven track record of creating impactful product outcomes through
design leadership and delivery.
- High personal design capability, with a portfolio that demonstrates craft judgment and
range.
- A player-coach leadership style: credible with senior designers, and effective at developing them through the
work.
- Track record of setting experience direction and connecting design decisions to measurable product outcomes.
- Strong business acumen and the ability to hold your own as a peer to product and engineering leadership.
- Exceptional
communication skills, able to align teams and stakeholders around a clear direction.
- Practical experience applying AI to
design exploration, prototyping, and delivery.

AI and Hiring at Mentimeter
At Mentimeter, we believe AI helps us work smarter - but it
never replaces the human assessment, curiosity, and personal connection that define our culture and our hiring. We use AI as a
sparring partner: to bounce ideas, bring new perspectives, support structure, and make our work more efficient. But the meaning,
decisions, and interactions always come from people. AI strengthens our work, but it does not define it. At Mentimeter, we’re
not building an AI-driven hiring process - we’re building a people-first culture, where technology helps us listen, learn, and
grow together.
Culture at Mentimeter
At Mentimeter we believe in giving everyone a voice - regardless
of who you are. So we build a platform that does just that. Our platform is not only our product but also our organization. A
platform where people feel safe, where differences are embraced, a place where you can have fun. We strongly encourage applicants
who are people of color, LGBTQ+, women, people with disabilities, and/or formerly incarcerated people, and a college degree is not
strictly required. In order to give everyone a voice, we need to be as diverse as our users.
