Our Mission
We’re fixing the most broken process in business. Whether it’s SaaS, hardware, or contractors, a typical B2B purchase drags on for 3+ months, spawns 50+ emails, and pulls in multiple stakeholders across Finance, Legal, Security, and IT. Nobody likes it, and it slows businesses down.
Omnea exists to change that. Our AI-native platform connects the people, steps, and systems so buying just works. Employees have one place to make requests, the right approvals run automatically, renewals and supplier risk checks are handled on time, and leaders get clear visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent.
This matters more now than ever: volatile markets demand capital efficiency, businesses who adopt AI quickly have a competitive advantage, and evolving regulation demands evidenceable controls—so buying has to be fast and compliant by default.
Founded in 2022, we’re trusted by global enterprises including Spotify, Adecco Group, Albertsons, Wise, MongoDB, and Monzo. Our team previously built Tessian (backed by Sequoia; acquired by Proofpoint) and we’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, Accel, Point Nine, and First Round.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Director of Product Design to help us build and scale a world-class design organization at Omnea. In this role, you'll lead the design function across the company — driving vision, nurturing talent, and ensuring every customer interaction with Omnea is intuitive, elegant, and trusted.
This is a senior leadership role that combines strategic design leadership with organizational building. You’ll set the design bar, define team culture, and ensure we scale product quality alongside company growth.
You’ll be joining us at a pivotal time. We’ve just raised $50M in Series B funding from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, Accel, Point Nine, and First Round Capital. In the past year we’ve grown revenue 5x, tripled our customer base, and maintained >99% retention with enterprises like Spotify, Wise, Albertsons, Adecco, and McAfee. Our team is small but high-calibre -- it took over 10,000 interviews to hire our first 50 Omneans. Now we’re scaling fast and building the category of AI Supplier Relationship Management!
What You’ll Do
Own and evolve Omnea’s end-to-end product design strategy across all surfaces and customer touchpoints.
Manage and grow a high-performing team of product designers - including hiring, coaching, and performance development.
Collaborate with product, engineering, and GTM leaders to drive alignment on roadmap, priorities, and user experience goals.
Champion user-centered design practices - incorporating research, prototyping, and continuous iteration into the team’s DNA.
Drive high-quality execution across all phases - from vision decks to pixel-perfect delivery.
Shape and maintain our design system, brand voice, and internal design practices.
About You
8+ years of experience in product design, including 3+ years in design leadership roles.
Proven ability to grow and lead high-performing design teams in fast-paced environments.
Deep systems thinking -with a portfolio that spans early-stage design and scaled systems.
Exceptional communicator and cross-functional partner - you build trust quickly and lead with empathy.
Experience owning design strategy across complex platforms or internal tools.
You care deeply about product and design craft - and know how to scale that care across a team.
Why Join Omnea
Omnea is rebuilding the enterprise back-office stack to be delightful, composable, and seamless. That only works if the user experience is best-in-class - and you’ll be a key driver of that vision.
As Director of Product Design, you'll shape how we work, how we hire, and what we ship — with massive ownership and outsized impact. We care deeply about craft and velocity. If you do too, we’d love to talk.
At Omnea, we embrace diversity. To build a product that's loved by everyone, we're best served by a team with all sorts of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

We sometimes use AI note-takers to help us transcribe interview notes, so we can be more present in your interview.
