Implementation happens through integrated, cross-functional squads that include Product Owners, Business Analysts, UX Designers, Engineers, and a Scrum Master.

Product Owners focus on specific feature areas, partnering closely with the Product Manager to translate product vision and strategy into prioritized plans and backlogs. The Product Manager role will support by providing strategic direction and cross-product alignment, to support Product Owners in the refinement and delivery process within their domains. Collaboration across teams is central to how we work, enabling cohesive delivery across complex systems like certification and assurance.The Product team also plays a key connective role across B Lab partnering with technology, operations, standards, and assurance to prioritize work thoughtfully and build products that drive meaningful impact at scale.

This role is accountable for the growth of design maturity within the organization, the quality and consistency of design output, and the effectiveness of design as a trusted strategic partner to Product, Engineering, Commercial, Standards, Operations and the wider organization.
This role ensures that every digital and service touchpoint is built around genuine customer needs. It elevates design and user research to first-class capabilities within B Lab.
This is a leadership and management role, not a permanent squad assignment. The Manager won't be embedded in a single squad, but will actively support squads as needed, jumping in to unblock, provide direction on complex problems, and strengthen design contribution across the board. A core part of this role is shaping how design, product, and engineering work together within the shared squad model, establishing the ways of working, collaboration norms, and delivery practices that make cross-functional teams effective.
Product and Experience design at B Lab is a small but growing discipline, and this role will be instrumental in building it out. You will grow and develop the team, including design and research capability, and establish how Product Design, Service Design, and Research work together as an integrated practice. This means being accountable not just for the quality of design output, but for how the function is structured, developing a customer research function, gathering and using insight to inform design decisions, and sharing what has been learned from customers to be leveraged across the organization.
