Design Director, Packaging
Who We Are
Parenting isn’t picture-perfect. It’s messy, hilarious, exhausting, and life-changing — sometimes all before noon. That’s where we come in.
Founded in 2014 by our CEO Chelsea Hirschhorn, Frida was built to make the raw reality of parenting a little easier to navigate (and a lot less overwhelming). It all started with one legendary snot-sucker — the NoseFrida — and has grown into a 200+ product lineup that supports families through every stage: from fertility and postpartum recovery to baby care and beyond.
We don’t shy away from the stuff no one else wants to talk about — nipple pain, diaper blowouts, or the emotional rollercoaster that comes with keeping a tiny human alive. We call it like it is, solve the problems that actually matter, and build products that help parents feel seen, supported, and totally capable.
You can now find Frida products in 50+ countries and thousands of stores across the U.S., from the biggest national retailers to your neighborhood grocery aisle.
Under Hirschhorn’s leadership, Frida has become a category leader by challenging taboos, championing honesty, and supporting families at every stage of parenthood and beyond, earning acclaim on TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies, TIME Best Inventions, Fast Company Most Innovative Companies and Fast Company Brands That Matter. But the real win? Knowing we’re helping parents everywhere feel a little more human and a little less alone.

Tips for Your Remote Design Director Job Search
Show async leadership in your portfolio
Remote design director interviews focus on how you lead without being in the room. Add case studies that document how you ran design critiques, aligned stakeholders, and moved decisions forward through written briefs and recorded walkthroughs rather than live meetings.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote design director openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your seniority and sector and apply directly without sorting through hybrid or in-office listings.
Demonstrate fluency with remote design tools
Call out your working proficiency with Figma, FigJam, and async documentation tools like Notion or Confluence directly in your resume and cover letter. Remote employers screen for this before the first call because design directors who need tooling ramp-up slow distributed teams down.
Frame your remote experience explicitly
If you've led design teams or projects across time zones, say so directly. Remote hiring managers don't infer remote readiness from general experience, so name the distributed context, the team size, and how you kept design quality consistent without daily in-person contact.
Remote Design Director Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote design director job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed product teams, which hire design directors without a physical office requirement and screen hard for self-direction. Remote employers prioritize strong written communication, async collaboration tools like Figma and Notion, and the ability to lead design systems and creative reviews without in-person oversight. A portfolio that documents your decision-making process, not just final outputs, gives you a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote design directors?
Remote design director roles are posted by ServiceNow, Turner & Townsend Pty Limited, and WSP and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. The bulk of remote openings come from remote-first software companies, distributed digital agencies, and consumer technology teams that run design operations across multiple time zones.
Can you get a remote design director job with no experience?
Yes, but remote design director roles at the entry level are harder to land because you're expected to lead and unblock your team without in-person support. Remote-first startups and early-stage digital products are the most likely to hire directors with a strong portfolio and demonstrated leadership over contract or freelance projects. Showing you can run async design reviews and communicate decisions clearly in writing substitutes for years of experience in many cases.
Do you need a degree for remote design director jobs?
Not always. Remote employers hiring design directors weigh portfolio quality, demonstrated leadership of design systems, and the ability to drive product outcomes over formal credentials. A degree in design, HCI, or a related field helps with some hiring teams, but remote-first companies in particular tend to evaluate candidates on work and results rather than academic background.
Which industries hire the most remote design directors?
Remote design director roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services and Technology & Software, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Those sectors hire design directors remotely because their products are built and shipped by distributed teams that need design leadership coordinated across locations rather than anchored to one office.
