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. The core platform is expanding across voice, messaging, computer‑use agents, reseller tooling, integrations, analytics, reliability, security, and operational controls. As the product expands in scope and complexity, design plays 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 senior, hands‑on design leadership role will set the design direction, build the foundation for product and brand systems, and personally own a meaningful amount of execution across product design, website, brand, and go‑to‑market materials. You will report to the CPO and partner closely with product, engineering, sales, marketing, and company leadership.

What You’ll Work On

Your job will be to make Vida’s powerful and technically complex product clear, usable, and trustworthy for businesses, resellers, and operators.

Examples Of Design Problems You May Work On

Simplify how users create, configure, test, and deploy AI agents.
Design better workflows for agent monitoring, logs, analytics, tasks, inboxes, and integrations.
Help resellers manage many customer organizations, agents, settings, and workflows.
Make computer‑use agents and AI automation feel understandable and controllable.
Improve information architecture across a growing platform.
Build design patterns that help users trust what agents are doing and why.
Shape the website, sales materials, and product storytelling so customers can quickly understand Vida’s value.

Improve information architecture so users can understand and manage increasingly powerful AI systems.
Establish and maintain a scalable product design system in collaboration with engineering.
Use customer feedback, product usage, and business context to improve usability and reduce friction.
Partner closely with product and engineering to ship high‑quality product experiences quickly.

Brand, Website, and Go‑to‑Market Design

Own the evolution of Vida’s visual identity across web, product marketing, sales, and customer‑facing materials.
Design and improve the company website including landing pages, product pages, conversion flows, and campaign pages.
Create high‑quality creative assets for sales decks, executive and company presentations, launch announcements, email campaigns, social, and events.
Partner with leadership, sales, and marketing to translate Vida’s product vision into clear, compelling visual storytelling.
Develop templates and creative systems that make Vida’s external communication feel consistent, polished, and differentiated.
Help define how Vida shows up in the market as a trusted AI agent platform.

Create lightweight design processes that help the team move quickly without sacrificing quality.
Bring strong taste, customer empathy, and systems thinking to product and company decisions.

Over time help determine when and how to grow the design team.

What We’re Looking For

7+ years of experience in product design, UX/UI design, brand design, or a related design role.
Strong portfolio showing excellent product design craft, especially for complex workflows or B2B software.
Strong visual design skills, including layout, typography, hierarchy, interaction design, and brand expression.
Experience designing complex B2B, SaaS, workflow, automation, platform, developer, or enterprise products.
Ability to simplify complex systems without oversimplifying the underlying power.
Comfort moving between product design and brand/marketing design.
Experience designing websites, landing pages, sales collateral, or marketing materials.
Ability to work from ambiguity and turn early ideas into clear design directions.
Comfort working directly with founders, product, engineering, sales, and customer‑facing teams.
Strong communication skills and ability to explain design decisions clearly.
High ownership, strong taste, and a bias toward shipping.

Nice to Have

Experience designing AI, automation, agent, developer tools, customer support, telephony, CRM, or workflow products.
Experience designing for reseller, multi‑tenant, marketplace, or partner platforms.
Experience building or maintaining a design system.
Experience creating investor, board, or executive‑level presentation materials.
Motion, illustration, video, or 3D design skills.
Experience with Webflow, Framer, Next.js, or close collaboration with frontend engineers.

What Success Looks Like

In your first few months, help improve the clarity and usability of the core product experience, establish stronger design patterns across the platform, and elevate how the company presents itself externally.
Make the product easier to understand, the website more compelling, and the brand more cohesive.
Over time become the design owner for Vida’s product and brand experience, helping define how businesses discover, understand, trust, and operate AI agents at scale.

Why Join Vida

Work on one of the most important shifts in software: AI agents that can communicate, operate, and complete real business work.
Own design across both product and brand at a company where design will directly shape the category.

The expected base salary range for this role is $160,000–$180,000, depending on experience, location, portfolio strength, and scope fit. In addition to salary, this role includes meaningful equity participation and standard company benefits. We view this as a senior, high‑leverage role with broad company impact.
