We're seeking a dynamic, strategic, and experienced Director of Design to lead a high-performing, multi-disciplinary design team. This leader will guide, mentor, and lead a talented group of managers and designers-across UX/UI, merchandise, and brand marketing-who consistently deliver exceptional, business-driving work.

Our ideal candidate is both a visionary and an organized operator: someone who can nurture creativity, uphold standards of excellence, and scale systems and talent within a team that already sets a high bar. You will completely own the evolution and stewardship of our brand's visual identity-ensuring it remains consistent, elevated, and aligned with our strategic vision. We move faster than most design teams, and we look for leaders who can thrive in that intensity without compromising quality. You should be comfortable multi-tasking dozens of projects amongst your team, as well as managing your own output. You create the kind of work that turns heads, sparks conversation, and quietly makes others rethink their own output. You must be confident presenting and defending creative decisions in high-stakes rooms-translating design rationale into strategic value for senior stakeholders. You're the kind of leader who checks ego at the door, leads by example, and puts your team first. You jump in when needed, provide clarity and support, and clearly communicate and fight for the career growth of your teammates. You don't just put out fires-you spot the smoke before it starts and build systems to prevent the blaze. You have a proven track record of developing well-crafted, strategically grounded advertising campaigns.

This isn't a place to coast. Vivint is in a high-growth, high-impact phase, and we need someone who's hungry to lead through bold design and sharp strategy-and help us leave the competition behind.
