We design and deliver Clinical and Consumer products—including G-Series, D-Series, and Stelo—impacting millions of lives worldwide.

GPD partners closely with Product Management and Engineering to create safe, functional, and intuitive products. We are passionate about quality, usability, and simplicity.

As our portfolio and organization scale, we are investing in Design Technology to address key operational gaps—including fragmented tooling, manual workflows, and limited infrastructure for AI adoption. This role will lead that transformation, driving innovation, compliance, and efficiency at a global scale.

Where you come in:

• Lead Strategic Collaboration: Partner with senior leaders across GPD, PM and R&D to strengthen cross-functional alignment and accelerate delivery.

• Define the Design Technology Vision: Establish and execute a multi-year strategy to scale design through technology, automation, and AI adoption.

• Build & Scale Design Technology: Lead and grow a high-performing team of design technologists and front-end engineers across four core pillars: -

• Prototyping High-fidelity interactive prototypes for validation, demos, and usability testing

• Tooling Internal tools that automate workflows, quality checks, and design-to-development handoffs

• Front-End Engineering Support Bridging design and engineering through component development and complex UI implementation

• AI Infrastructure Foundational systems enabling AI-powered design workflows and knowledge management.

• Drive Operational Excellence: Standardize design artifacts, documentation, and visual quality assurance frameworks; eliminate manual work through automation.

• Innovate with AI: Lead AI-powered initiatives including single sources of truth (e.g., RAG-based systems), design audit tracking, fidelity validation, and workflow automation.

• Architect Scalable Solutions: Advance the DexPolaris Design System as a true product language platform through component development, compliance tooling, and automated handoffs.

• Enable Compliance & Traceability: Implement systems that ensure end-to-end traceability—from product requirements through design decisions to engineering delivery—supporting FDA and global regulatory standards.

• Improve Design–Dev Collaboration: Reduce friction, rework, and misalignment through shared tooling, prototyping, and integrated workflows.

• Remove Barriers: Provide strategic direction, resolve obstacles, and align stakeholders across the product development lifecycle.

What makes you successful:

• Design Technology Leadership: Proven experience building or scaling Design Technology, Design Ops, or Design Systems functions

• Technical Depth: 15+ years of experience shipping software within product design organizations, with hands-on expertise in front-end technologies and design tooling

• AI & Automation Mindset: Experience implementing or enabling AI-powered workflows, automation systems, or data-driven design tooling

• Program Leadership: Demonstrated success leading complex, cross-functional initiatives in matrixed organizations

• Design Systems Expertise: Experience building or scaling design systems, including component development, governance, and compliance enforcement

• Operational Excellence: Track record of improving efficiency through tooling, process optimization, and workflow automation

• Cross-Platform Expertise: Deep understanding of design principles across mobile and web platforms

• Tool Proficiency: Advanced Figma expertise; strong working knowledge of Jira, Confluence, and modern design/dev toolchains

• Strategic Problem Solving: Ability to anticipate challenges, balance business and technical constraints, and drive scalable solutions

• Communication Excellence: Exceptional executive presence and ability to influence across leadership, product, design, and engineering
