About the Role:

Nanit is seeking a visionary design leader to define the next chapter of the Nanit experience across mobile software, connected hardware, AI-powered experiences, subscriptions and entirely new product categories.

This leader will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Hardware, Clinical and Marketing to imagine the future, make those possibilities tangible and shape what Nanit chooses to build. Nanit sits at a unique intersection of technology and emotion. Parents turn to Nanit in moments of curiosity, joy, uncertainty and concern. The opportunity is to translate sophisticated technology, data and intelligence into experiences that feel deeply human, earn trust and help families feel more confident. This leader will establish a distinctive design point of view for Nanit and build the team and standards to bring it to life.
