The JobYour primary focus will be to keep the design pipeline organized and efficient from intake to delivery. You know, like a pilot, except with mockups instead of planes.You’ll manage incoming requests, keep project backlogs healthy, run lightweight reviews, and make sure everything is prepped for final sign-off. You’ll act as the connective tissue between design, product, development, and leadership. You’ll ensure that the right information is in the right place at the right time, and that no thread gets lost. Think of it like this: you’re the glue that keeps the creative chaos from becoming boring, distressing chaos.You’ll maintain systems like Basecamp, Slack, Figma, and GitHub to keep projects searchable and up to date (and maybe stop people from naming files “final_final_v3_ACTUALFinal.png”). You’ll keep the content inventory and style guide current, coordinate design timelines with product releases, and flag blockers before they become problems. You’ll protect designers’ focus by handling logistics, scheduling, and context sharing so they can stay heads-down on the work.This role is perfect for someone who thrives on tidy systems, clear communication, and the quiet joy of a completed checklist. You should be comfortable stepping into a variety of design workflows (UI/UX, content, illustration, etc.), even if you’re not producing design work yourself.You don’t have to be a designer, but you do need to understand how designers work. Familiarity with their tools, rhythms, and processes will help you keep everything running smoothly without getting in the way of the creative flow.
