Bevi is on a mission to transform how beverages are delivered and consumed. Our connected beverage platform eliminates the need for single-use bottles and cans making it easy fun and sustainable to stay hydrated. As the category leader in IoT-enabled beverage technology were building a future where Bevi machines are everywhere people live work and connect. Weve raised over $160M in venture capital serve thousands of customers across the US Canada UK and Ireland and weve been rapidly growing year over year saving over 1 billion bottles from addition to driving hypergrowth with our current product line Bevi is heavily investing in new product development.

Bevi is looking for a Senior Director Product & Experience Design to lead the team that shapes how our products look feel and work from the Bevi machine that houses your favorite drinks to the screen experience that turns your selections into your go-to pour.

We believe design isnt just how Bevi competes its how we win. The way our machines look and feel and the way our interfaces guide someone through a choice is often the difference between a drinker reaching for a plastic bottle or reaching for Bevi. This role owns that: youll shape how the Bevi product shows up in the world - both in terms of physical industrial design and UI/UX design -and youll have real influence over decisions that touch every product we ship. Everything you and your team do must have an incredibly close connection to our customers - they are your beacon in this role. Their needs/problems must be solved through a highly functional and beautifully designed set of products that bring our brand to life.

Youll own design across two disciplines: industrial design and UI/UX design. Youll manage the designers who bring both to life and youll be the person who makes sure a Bevi machine feels like Bevi whether someone is touching the hardware or our digital components (both outward facing and to our service partners technicians and internal teams). This is a craft and leadership role in equal measure. Youll set the product design vision and standards and youll manage a team that needs a strong creative leader and a strong people manager at the same time. Youll drive the team to find new ways to design and build. This role will partner closely with our Marketing and Brand Creative teams to ensure that our brand is brought to life cohesively.

This role reports to the VP of Product and sits on the extended product leadership team. It will operate in close partnership with Product Management Engineering Quality Manufacturing and more. As Bevis design function grows theres room for this role to grow with it.

• Define and maintain a coherent design language across Bevis hardware and digital products so the physical machine and the on-screen experience feel like they came from the same place.
• Set the bar for craft across industrial design and UI/UX and be hands-on enough to raise it as well.
• Own CMF (color material finish) standards and decisions for hardware in partnership with Product Engineering and Operations.
• Bring a strong point of view on where design should push Bevis products forward not just execute on whats asked. You should be comfortable not just engaging with Bevis executive team but guiding them through the lens of design principles.

• Own how every drinker client and partner experiences the Bevi product from the first look through the choice the pour the taste and the reason they come back. Everything they see touch taste and feel should be unmistakably Bevi - and that shared essence is driven by you and your team.
• Treat user experience as the engine of product love. Great design drives repeat pours advocacy and in turn a placement into a habit and a habit into growth for Bevi.
• Design for the full journey Bevi takes folks on from the drinkers who use our products to the clients who place them to the partners and technicians who service them. The experience should hold end to end.

• Manage and grow a team of Industrial Designers and UI/UX Designers giving each discipline what it needs to do great work while keeping both aligned to one vision.
• Coach designers on craft and career growth and build a team that can scale with Bevis product roadmap.

• Partner with Product Management to translate roadmap priorities into design direction and push back when a plan doesnt hold up design-wise.
• Work directly with Engineering to protect design integrity from concept through production especially on hardware where tolerances and manufacturing realities meet the vision.
• Represent design in product strategy and planning conversations making sure design is shaping and informing decisions early not just polishing them at the end.

• Build and maintain design systems that let the team move fast without losing consistency as Bevis product line grows.
• Establish clear standards and processes for how design work gets reviewed approved and put into execution mode by designers and cross-functional partners

• 10 years of design experience with 5 years leading both physical/industrial design and digital/UI-UX design ideally for connected hardware or consumer electronics products.
• Proven experience managing and growing a multidisciplinary design team.
• A portfolio that shows range across hardware and digital with strong craft in both.
• Experience owning CMF decisions and working closely with engineering and manufacturing partners to bring designs to production.
• Comfortable setting vision and being in the details. This role needs both.
• Strong communicator who can hold their own with engineers on manufacturing constraints and with executives on brand and product vision.
• A track record of building or scaling design systems that keep a growing product line consistent.
• Bonus: a broad design sensibility beyond ID and UI/UX to help inform and drive how Bevi views design more holistically than just the physical and digital products themselves.
