Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Mentimeter Full time

Mentimeter is an engagement tool with a clear goal in mind: to turn presentations into conversations. Through real-time interactivity and clear visualizations, we get people to participate, engage, and become more productive. Transforming all those passive meetings, airless classrooms, and drawn-out trainings into valuable and memorable moments.

We truly believe that you achieve the best results by doing things together. Successful leaders need to adopt a curious and collaborative mindset in order to get there. With you at Mentimeter, you'll be a big part of the ambition to help over 1 billion people listen, learn, and work better together.

As a Product Design Director for our Design Foundation area, you will shape and lead all aspects of Mentimeter's enabling design functions, including our design system, accessibility practice, content design, localization, and design operations. You will partner closely with design, product, and engineering peers across the organization to ensure teams and individuals have the guidance, frameworks, and support needed to create cohesive and high-quality user experiences.

You will rely on a mix of qualitative and quantitative insights to inform decisions about the evolution and implementation of our design foundation. Together with the Design Leadership Team, you will set a clear vision, define an operating model for these enabling functions, and ensure that they effectively support both our core and commercial product areas.

In this role, you will also be responsible for the career development of diverse design specialists, such as design system designers, accessibility experts, and content designers. You will manage, coach, and mentor them to create meaningful impact and grow in their careers, ensuring that Mentimeter's design foundation continues to advance our overall product experience.

Areas of Responsibility

This is an existing position that is currently held by an interim consultant, and we are looking for someone who can join as a full-time employee.

Strategic Leadership
  • Define, communicate, and execute a compelling vision for the Design Foundation area at Mentimeter.
  • Establish strategies, goals, and metrics for the enabling functions (design system, accessibility, and content design) that elevate the quality and consistency of our product experiences.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional leaders in Product, Engineering, and beyond to integrate foundational design practices and standards throughout the organization.
  • Ensure the direction for our design foundation is clearly articulated, forward-thinking, and consistently applied, helping all teams deliver seamless user experiences.
  • Drive and evolve design operations initiatives—such as career frameworks and ways of working—together with the Design Leadership Team.
  • Lead, inspire, and coach a multidisciplinary area of specialists within the design craft as a design leader and manager.
  • Oversee career growth and development frameworks, providing individualized mentorship and guidance.
  • Foster a collaborative environment where each team member is empowered to innovate, take ownership, and continuously refine their craft.
  • Partner with the broader design organization to ensure consistency, share learnings, and maintain a strong, supportive design culture.
  • Serve as an active member of the Design Leadership Team, championing best practices for design, UX writing, accessibility, and brand across Mentimeter's products.
  • Lead cross-area design initiatives in partnership with other leaders to continuously refine and improve our design standards and processes.
  • Develop and maintain a cohesive design language, ensuring it evolves in response to user needs, technological advances, and the strategic direction of the company.
  • Continuously gather insights and evaluate the impact of the central using qualitative and quantitative methods.
So, Who Are You?
  • 5+ years of experience in design leadership roles, with demonstrated success managing and mentoring diverse design teams (e.g., design systems, accessibility, or content).
  • Proven track record of driving impactful design operations initiatives and establishing processes that scale in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong leadership abilities, with the capacity to navigate complex challenges and inspire high performance across multiple functions.
  • Expertise in leading and evolving design systems and design standards, ensuring consistency and quality across a broad product portfolio.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to clearly articulate decisions and advocate for user-focused design within cross-functional teams.
  • A passion for building cohesive, accessible, and user-centric experiences that empower and delight customers.

What Mentimeter Can Offer
At Mentimeter, we can offer a diverse and inclusive work environment supported by smart and driven colleagues. We believe in continuous professional development for all of our colleagues and therefore offer access to a leadership program (including external personal coach) and relevant education to ensure that we continue to be state-of-the-art when it comes to innovating and building Mentimeter. Your place will be in a growing company with lots of career opportunities, working on a beloved product used by more than 300 million people. It's not all about work though; we also offer a very healthy view on work-life balance.

All of this comes attached with a competitive compensation and benefits package, including pension contributions. Learn more about our benefits by visiting our Benefits & Perks page.

Culture at Mentimeter
At Mentimeter, we believe in giving everyone a voice - regardless of who you are. So we build a platform that does just that. Our platform is not only our product but also our organization. A platform where people feel safe, where differences are embraced, a place where you can have fun.
