Strategy and Organisational Design Director— IDEO London In a Nutshell IDEO London is looking for a Strategy and Organisational Design Director who understands that strategy without activation is just intention — and that the gap between ambition and reality is where organisations most need a thinking partner. This is a senior role for someone who reads organisations the way a designer reads a brief: with curiosity about what's really going on beneath the surface, and with a clear instinct for where the real levers for change are. You understand how systems work — how structure, incentives, culture, and leadership interact to make or break a strategy — and you know how to work with those forces rather than against them. When organisations are navigating something genuinely hard or new — adapting to AI, restructuring how decisions get made, building new capabilities, shifting culture, or figuring out what to stop doing — they don't need more frameworks or slides. They need someone who can help them see the system clearly, make honest choices, and design a path forward that will actually stick. And they need the confidence to act. You'll spend most of your time leading complex client engagements, particularly in our Health portfolio, directing multidisciplinary teams and building trusted relationships with senior leaders. Alongside that, you'll help build something: IDEO London's strategy and organisational design practice, at a moment when the studio is intentionally investing

Job Description The New York Times Advertising is hiring for an Art Director to join our T Brand Studio. As an Art Director, you will lead the visual execution of assigned projects. Art Directors do the following: they imagine ways to tell stories visually. They present visual ideas and recommendations internally and to our clients. They find visual reference, specifically relevant to each idea, project, and opportunity. They contribute to and oversee the creation of great mood boards, inspired type treatments, exceptional color palettes, and page layouts. About the Role You will oversee the design of presentations which enhance our work, the assembly of excellent paid posts in webflow, the design of impactful print ads, and work with developers internal and external on complex custom projects. You will mentor Designers and Senior Designers, and collaborate with external partners, building relationships and guiding them through insightful feedback to

Datadog is entering a new chapter in how our product looks, feels, and operates. Our Design Lab is defining a new visual direction for the platform, and we’re looking for a Senior Staff Visual Product Designer to help turn that direction into a coherent product experience. Datadog is dense, technical, and used by people working through complex problems—often under real pressure. The challenge is not simply applying a new aesthetic. It is rethinking hierarchy, layout, navigation, interaction, and product patterns so the experience becomes clearer, more cohesive, and more expressive without losing the power our users rely on. This is a hands-on product design leadership role for someone who combines strong visual judgment with deep product and systems thinking. You’ll work alongside visual designers, motion designers, product designers, Design Systems, and Engineering to ensure the new direction changes how Datadog works—not just how it looks. What You'll Do Co-develop Datadog’s next visual direction by applying and stress-testing it across representative product journeys. Translate visual principles into concrete decisions about hierarchy, layout, navigation, information architecture, interaction, and behavior. Use visual language to clarify complex, data-dense experiences — hierarchy, density, and attention. Hold the visual quality bar across work you don't own, and align teams around it. Prototype, test, and refine new patterns before they become systemiz

At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it. Vanta is hiring for a Head of Design (VP) to lead our design organization — setting direction for a ~40-person team, shaping the next generation of AI-native product experiences, and building the quality systems that let great design ship at scale. The Design team at Vanta shapes how security and compliance teams experience Vanta — from a startup founder building their security program for the first time to an enterprise security team managing hundreds of controls. The org spans all areas of Vanta — GRC, Trust, Platform, Self-serve, and AI — and includes product designers, visual designers, design engineering, content designers, and a user researcher, led by experienced design directors. As AI fundamentally changes what products can do and how they get built, this team is at an inflection point: the right leader will define what it means for a design org to be genuinely AI-forward — enabling designers to move faster, ship more, and contribute to product direction and delivery in new ways. This is the right role for a design leader who leads with AI fluency, brings strong taste and craft across interaction design and visual design, and ha

Datadog is entering a new chapter in how our product looks, feels and operates. We're building a small, high-leverage Design Lab team to define that evolution, and we're looking for a Senior Staff Visual Designer to author it. Our design system powers everything we ship. Now we're ready to evolve it. As Datadog expands into AI-driven experiences and more complex product surfaces, the visual language needs to grow with it. This is the role that decides what that language is — someone with taste, judgment, and the confidence to set a direction and defend it. At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them. What You'll Do Define and evolve Datadog’s visual language across product surfaces. Lead exploratory and concept work, creating a range of distinct visual directions for the next generation of the product. Synthesize product context, research, references, and stakeholder input into clear visual principles and a coherent point of view. Establish the quality bar for typography, color, composition, iconography, imagery, motion, and visual expression across the platform. Create high-fidelity product exemplars and prototypes that make an emerging direction tangible. Partner deeply with Brand, Product Design, Motion, and Design Systems to test and refine the direction across diff
