At Plaid, we believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. We’re on a mission to unlock financial freedom for everyone.

We’re looking for a Design Program Manager to help us deliver a unified, cohesive user experience across all brand and product touchpoints. In this highly visible, first-of-its-kind role, you’ll partner with the Brand Design team to increase their velocity and enable efficient execution of Brand Design projects. Day-to-day, you’ll collaborate with Brand Design, Product Design, Marketing, Growth, Recruiting, Communications, and external vendors to design scaled processes, manage the delivery of brand materials, and most importantly, get things done. You’ll be responsible for making sure teams are unblocked and calmly moving in the right direction with the right support at the right time. You’ll also act as the representative for our Brand Design team when working with partners across the business to provide clarity and confidence in the face of ambiguity.

As part of this role, you’ll join EPDS Operations, a small team of interdisciplinary program managers tasked with delivering best-in-class systems and processes that enable efficient execution of Plaid’s strategy. Our goal is to build a high-impact, high-velocity, and high-trust product development and delivery experience so that Plaid designers, marketers, engineers, product managers, and support specialists can more effectively bring products to market that unlock financial freedom for all.
