As a Lead Product Designer for TikTok's UED Monetization Product team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the user experience and design of our monetization products. This position is critical in ensuring that our products meet the high standards expected by both the business and our users. You will be responsible for leading the end-to-end design process, which includes collaborating cross-functionally with design, product, marketing, and engineering teams to create impactful designs that address complex problems. Your work will encompass both mobile and desktop platforms, and you will utilize qualitative and quantitative user research to inform your design decisions.

Additionally, you will contribute to and evolve our design systems, ensuring consistency across the platform. Your ability to shape design thinking across the broader organization, including research, marketing, product education, and customer success teams, will be essential. You will drive the creation and communication of design visions that inspire stakeholders and align with business goals, all while championing a user-centered design approach that balances user empathy with business needs, particularly in complex B2B enterprise contexts like CRM, sales, ads, and monetization. This role requires thriving in a fast-paced environment where quick iteration and adaptation to changes are crucial.
