Luxury Presence is building the AI growth platform for real estate. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and other top investors, we're a Series C company that has hit $100M in annual recurring revenue. More than 90,000 real estate professionals, including over 30% of the WSJ Real Trends top 100 agents in the United States, use us to run and grow their business.
The Opportunity
Design is a growth lever at Luxury Presence, not a support function. Our customers are some of the most discerning professionals in real estate, and the products they use every day need to earn their loyalty. This role exists because we're raising the bar.
We're looking for a Head of Product Design to define and build the design discipline at LP. You'll set the vision, establish the standards, and lead a talented team creating experiences that agents genuinely love. Your work will show up directly in retention metrics, weekly active users, and the reputation LP holds in its market.
This is not a steady-state role. We're at an inflection point as a product organization, with AI capabilities opening up new surface area and a customer base that's more engaged than ever. The person who takes this seat will shape what design means at LP for years to come. You must be AI-forward: not just adopting tools, but rethinking how great design gets made at speed.
What You'll Own
Design Vision and Strategy
- Define and publish a Product Design strategy within your first 90 days, then evangelize it company-wide
- Establish design principles, standards, and a point of view that sets LP apart in the market
- Champion the customer's perspective in every product decision, keeping agent needs at the center
Product Impact
- Partner with Product and Engineering to drive meaningful improvements in platform engagement and WAUs
- Own the quality bar for every customer-facing experience
- Translate product strategy into design execution that moves the metrics that matter
Team and Org
- Lead and develop the Product Design team, building an environment where great designers want to stay and grow
- Hire and retain top-tier design talent as the team scales
- Build a culture of feedback, craft, and accountability
AI-Driven Velocity
- Integrate AI tools and workflows into the design practice to increase design velocity by 25% without compromising quality
- Model AI-native ways of working and coach the team to adopt them
What We're Looking For
Experience
- 8+ years in product design, with at least 3 years in a Head of Design, Design Director, or equivalent leadership role
- Proven track record leading design at a high-growth SaaS company, ideally at a similar scale or trajectory to LP
- Experience building and scaling design teams, with demonstrated success retaining top talent
- Portfolio of work that shows measurable business impact alongside exceptional craft
Leadership and Mindset
- Systems thinker who connects design decisions to business outcomes like retention and revenue
- Deep ownership mentality: you take responsibility for quality and outcomes, not just output
- Cross-functional leader who can earn influence across Product, Engineering, and GTM
- Operationally rigorous: you run a tight org with clear processes, feedback loops, and accountability
- AI-forward: you actively use AI in your design practice and aren't waiting to be told to
Domain
- Genuine curiosity about how real estate professionals work, what they need, and what earns their trust
- Experience designing for complex, data-rich, or workflow-heavy products is a strong plus
Please note that the listed compensation range applies to candidates based in the United States.

Lead with your design systems portfolio
USCIS evaluates H-1B specialty occupation based on the role's degree requirements. A portfolio showing systems-level design work, not just UI output, signals the theoretical depth that distinguishes a qualifying Head of Product Design petition from a generic creative hire.
Confirm your degree field aligns with the role
A bachelor's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Graphic Design, or a closely related field strengthens your petition. General business or communications degrees can create RFE risk at this level, even when you have years of relevant leadership experience behind you.
Target companies with established design organizations
Companies with dedicated design teams, think mid-stage startups through enterprise, are far more likely to have H-1B infrastructure in place. A Head of Product Design hire at a company without prior sponsorship history means longer lead times and more attorney work.
Understand the LCA wage level for your seniority
Your employer files a Labor Condition Application before your H-1B petition. At the Head level, USCIS and DOL expect a Wage Level III or IV classification. Confirm with your employer that the offered role is benchmarked correctly before filing begins.
Document cross-functional leadership clearly
Petitions for design leadership roles benefit from evidence showing you direct product strategy, not just visual execution. Offer letters, org charts, and project briefs that demonstrate you own design decisions across engineering and product teams strengthen the specialty occupation argument.
Ask about cap-exempt sponsorship pathways
Universities, research nonprofits, and some government-affiliated organizations are exempt from the H-1B lottery cap. A Head of Product Design role at a cap-exempt employer means no lottery risk and year-round filing, worth exploring if you missed the annual registration window.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Head of Product Design qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS requires that the role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. For Head of Product Design, degrees in Human-Computer Interaction, Product Design, or Graphic Design typically support the specialty occupation standard. Roles where the employer accepts any degree field regardless of discipline create RFE risk, so job description language matters significantly at petition stage.
What visa types are most common for Head of Product Design roles?
H-1B visa is the most common path. Australians can pursue the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and a much faster timeline. Canadians and Mexicans may qualify under TN visa status with the right degree. O-1A is an option for design leaders with significant industry recognition, awards, publications, or a track record of leading teams at well-known companies can support the extraordinary ability standard.
How strong are H-1B approval rates for product design leadership roles?
Approval rates for senior design roles have historically been solid when petitions are well-documented. The main risk factor is specialty occupation challenges when the job description is broad or the degree field doesn't closely match design. Employers with experienced immigration counsel and clear role documentation see far fewer RFEs than those filing with generic job descriptions that could apply to any creative hire.
Does work experience substitute for a design degree in sponsorship petitions?
It can, but it's complicated. USCIS accepts three years of specialized experience as equivalent to one year of education, meaning 12 years of relevant work experience can substitute for a four-year degree. However, for a Head of Product Design role, demonstrating that the position itself normally requires a degree in a specific design-related field is more important than the candidate's own educational background when establishing specialty occupation.
Where can I find Head of Product Design jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international candidates seeking U.S. roles with visa sponsorship. The platform filters for employers who have sponsored visas before, so you're not wasting time applying to companies that will reject you at the offer stage over immigration status. Browse Head of Product Design listings on Migrate Mate to find roles matched to your visa situation.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Head Of Product Design jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
