Head of Design, Product & Brand

Job description

About Vida
Vida is a publicly traded, early-stage AI company building an AI Agent Operating System that enables businesses and partners to create, deliver, and manage AI workforces. Our platform powers AI agents that communicate, automate workflows, connect with business software, and help teams operate more efficiently across channels and systems.

We are at an important stage of product and company. The core platform is expanding across voice, messaging, computer-use agents, reseller tooling, integrations, analytics, and reliability, security, and operational controls. As the product expands in scope and complexity, design will play a critical role in making a complex, powerful product feel simple, trustworthy, and commercially compelling.

About the Role
We are hiring a Head of Design, Product & Brand to become Vida’s first dedicated design leader.

This is a senior, hands-on design leadership role. You will set the design direction for Vida, build the foundation for our product and brand systems, and personally own a meaningful amount of execution across product design, website, brand, and go-to-market materials.

Design is already deeply valued at Vida. Members of the founding team have design backgrounds, and design has played an important role in how we think about product, brand, customer experience, and company building from the beginning. This role is not about introducing design to the company for the first time — it is about giving design a dedicated leader who can raise the bar, create systems, and help us scale.

In the near term, this is primarily an individual contributor role. You should be excited to both define the design function and do the work: designing complex B2B workflows, creating polished product experiences, improving our website, developing brand systems, and helping the company communicate the value of AI agents clearly.

You will report to the CPO and partner closely with product, engineering, sales, marketing, and company leadership.

This is an ideal role for a senior designer who wants broad ownership, high leverage, and the opportunity to define how businesses discover, understand, trust, and operate AI agents at scale.

What You’ll Work On
Vida’s product is powerful and technically complex. Your job will be to make it feel clear, usable, and trustworthy for businesses, resellers, and operators.

Examples of design problems you may work on include:
Simplifying how users create, configure, test, and deploy AI agents.
Designing better workflows for agent monitoring, logs, analytics, tasks, inboxes, and integrations.
Helping resellers manage many customer organizations, agents, settings, and workflows.
Making computer-use agents and AI automation feel understandable and controllable.
Improving information architecture across a growing platform.
Building design patterns that help users trust what agents are doin
