Design Program Manager

About WorkOS 🚀

About The Role 💭
We’re hiring a detail-oriented and proactive Design Program Manager to join our Brand Design team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, brings operational structure to creative environments, and enjoys making systems run smoothly behind the scenes.

You’ll be the operational engine that helps our designers focus on what they do best—delivering high-quality, scalable work. From project planning to vendor coordination to file system hygiene, you’ll own the processes that keep design work humming across marketing, web, and event initiatives.

Responsibilities ✔️

• Coordinate and track design project workflows from kickoff through delivery, partnering with stakeholders and vendors to ensure timely and accurate execution
• Drive process improvement: establish project briefs, kickoff protocols, internal review cycles, and cross-functional communication flows
• Define and maintain a clear file organization system across Figma and Google Drive to ensure assets are easily accessible, searchable, and archived
• Oversee task and documentation systems in Linear, Notion, Quip, and Google Docs to bring structure and transparency to design operations
• Act as an operational connector across design, marketing, product, and engineering—ensuring alignment, momentum, and accountability
• Continuously refine workflows to increase design team efficiency and improve stakeholder experience

Qualifications 🌟

• 3–5+ years of experience in project management, design production, or design operations—preferably within design-led or creative organizations
• A strong grasp of organizational systems and file hygiene, especially within tools like Figma and Google Drive
• Experience with task management systems (Linear, Jira, Asana) and collaborative platforms (Notion, Slack, Google Workspace)
• Skilled at working cross-functionally—confident, clear, and tactful in managing stakeholder expectations
• Self-starter mentality: you anticipate blockers and proactively drive projects forward without micromanagement
• Friendly and approachable—but also firm when it comes to deadlines, scope, and process integrity
