Senior Manager, Product Design

Xometry (NASDAQ: XMTR) powers the industries of today and tomorrow by connecting the people with big ideas to the manufacturers who can bring them to life. Xometry’s digital marketplace gives manufacturers the critical resources they need to grow their business while also making it easy for buyers at Fortune 1000 companies to tap into global manufacturing capacity.

Xometry is looking for a Senior Manager of Product Design to lead a team of designers within one or more Strategic Product and Technology Organizations (STOs). You are accountable for delivery, quality, and team performance. This is not a coordination role. You are responsible for ensuring your team delivers clear, high-quality, executable design work on time, with no surprises through leadership and hands-on execution. You will partner with Product and Engineering leadership to shape direction, enforce standards, and remove ambiguity.

How You’ll Contribute:

Lead and develop a team of designers (Senior and mid-level)

Set clear expectations for ownership, quality, and communication

Hold designers accountable for outcomes, not just outputs

Address performance issues directly and quickly

Own design delivery across your team (quality, pacing, predictability)

Ensure work is complete, structured, and ready for Engineering

Enforce a clear definition of done

Surface risks and tradeoffs early

Partner with Product and Engineering to define scope and priorities

Ensure UX is influencing direction, not reacting to requirements

Resolve ambiguity and alignment issues quickly

Ensure design outputs are structured and unambiguous

Support workflows that enable AI-assisted development

Drive adoption of tools and practices that improve speed and reduce rework

Maintain a high bar for interaction design, usability, and consistency

Ensure alignment with design systems and accessibility standards

Lead design reviews focused on clarity and execution readiness

What You'll Bring to Xometry:

10+ years of experience in user research, including 2+ years managing researchers

Proven track record of driving product decisions through research

Experience working closely with Product, Design, and Engineering teams

Strong ability to translate insights into clear recommendations

Experience operating in fast-paced, product-driven environments

Excellent communication and storytelling skills

Examples of AI-assisted workflows in portfolio (e.g., AI-generated prototypes, prompt-driven design systems, AI-supported research synthesis)

Experience with B2B, marketplace, or operational platforms

Experience working with design systems and component-based design

Exposure to AI-assisted design or development workflows

Experience scaling teams or processes in growing organizations

The estimated base salary range for new hires into this role is $180,000-$200,000.00 annually + commission depending on factors such as job-related skills, relevant experience, and location. We also offer a competitive benefits package, including 401(k) match, medical, dental and vision insurance; life and disability insurance; generous paid time off including vacation, sick leave, floating and fixed holidays, maternity and bonding leave; EAP, other wellbeing resources; and much more.
