About Salesforce
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.
Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.
What You'll Be Doing & Why It Matters
Slack is at an inflection point. We're evolving from the world's most beloved team communication tool into something fundamentally new: an AI operating system where humans and agents work together to get things done. Built on the context of your work, Slack becomes a single, personalized command center that replaces fragmented apps, inboxes, and point solutions.
As agents take on more of the work, the words between humans and machines carry more weight than ever. They set expectations, signal intent, earn trust, and keep people in control. Content design is a key part of what makes Slack feel like Slack. As the platform evolves, content designers as language experts will be at the center of defining these new experiences. We're looking for a leader with deep UX and content craft, that is excited about defining the evolution of work and the judgment to work through the hard tradeoffs AI brings. You'll grow a high-performing team of content designers, champion their work and careers, and make content design a core part of how Slack builds its future.
How you'll lead:
- You lead through coaching. You help designers make and own their decisions instead of speaking for them
- You lead through advocacy. You open doors, add influence behind key decisions and protect your team's focus to help amplify their work.
- You trust the team to set its areas of focus, and you build on the momentum that's already there
- You look for growth opportunities for everyone on the team You bring a growth mindset and real curiosity to a discipline that's changing fast
Core Responsibilities & Scope
- Lead and grow a high-performing team of content designers who define how natural language, both written and spoken, shapes how people and agents work together in Slack. Champion your team's careers through performance, promotion, and growth conversations, and help them through people logistics like relocation and sabbaticals
- Champion content design at the executive level, and own naming, terminology, and language decisions with product leadership. Partner with product design, product management, and engineering to make content design a core part of how Slack builds
- Raise the bar on content craft and quality across AI-native experiences and traditional UI. Evolve team operations with the team, building on what works and creating clear paths for feedback to flow up Lead and advocate for Help Center, including its content strategy, vendor partnerships, and cross-functional ownership
Minimum Requirements
- Deep content design background with strong UX craft, and experience designing content systems that cut cross-platform confusion and keep language consistent across products, surfaces, and devices
- Experience managing content design teams, ideally including Help or support content, with a track record of growing strong ICs and leaders. Experience leading distributed teams
- Executive presence: you can explain the value of language systems clearly and influence product decisions at the senior level. Excellent track record of cross-functional collaboration
- AI fluency grounded in judgment. You're excited about what AI makes possible and willing to engage with its ethical tradeoffs

Senior Level Associate Design Director Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level associate design director job?
Employers at this level want to see a portfolio that demonstrates strategic decision-making, not just executional craft. Highlight projects where you shaped creative direction, resolved complex design problems, and influenced outcomes across teams or stakeholders. Leadership examples, such as mentoring designers or driving cross-functional alignment, matter as much as the visual work itself. Tailoring your materials to show ownership and impact gives you a clear edge.
Which companies hire senior level associate design directors?
Companies hiring senior level associate design directors right now include WSP, Gensler, and Poshmark, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level tends to come from organizations large enough to have layered design teams, including agencies, in-house brand studios, tech companies, and consumer-facing businesses investing in design as a strategic function.
Are there remote senior level associate design director jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by employer and industry. About 38% of senior level associate design director openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broad acceptance of flexible arrangements for senior design leaders. Some roles that require hands-on collaboration with production, retail, or physical product teams are more likely to be on-site.
What makes an associate design director role senior level?
A senior level associate design director is expected to own creative strategy for significant projects or product areas, not just execute briefs handed down from above. The role carries accountability for quality across a team's output, requires guiding and developing junior and mid-level designers, and demands the ability to communicate design rationale to non-design stakeholders. The distinction from mid-level is scope of ownership and leadership depth.
Which industries hire the most senior level associate design directors?
Senior level associate design director roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Education, and Construction & Real Estate, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors tend to invest heavily in design at a strategic level, whether to differentiate products, build brand equity, or improve user experience at scale, which creates sustained demand for experienced design leaders.
