Design Manager
Job type: Full Time · Department: Marketing · Work type: Hybrid
Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
We’re looking for a Design Manager who can bring structure, momentum, and clarity to design-led work—while also stepping in to shape strong narratives when needed.
This is a PM-led role. Writing is an important supporting skill, but not the primary focus. You’ll be responsible for planning, coordinating, and driving the delivery of design and content initiatives across teams, timelines, and stakeholders. If you enjoy owning outcomes, keeping creative work on track, and knowing when to step in with the right words, this role is for you.
Plan, track, and deliver design-led projects across pitches, marketing assets, videos, case studies, and internal communications
Break down briefs into clear scopes, tasks, timelines, and milestones
Coordinate with designers, writers, marketers, and leadership to manage inputs, reviews, and dependencies
Track progress, manage iterations, and ensure deadlines are met without last-minute chaos
Proactively flag risks, delays, or resourcing gaps and recommend solutions
Maintain strong delivery hygiene using tools like Monday.com, ClickUp, Notion, or similar
Step in to write or shape high-impact narratives, including pitch storytelling, video scripts, and case stories
Turn rough or fragmented inputs into clear, structured stories
Ensure consistency of voice, tone, and messaging across design and content outputs
Review and refine content to improve clarity, flow, and effectiveness
We’re after someone who can think like a planner, communicate like a storyteller, and execute with confidence. The ideal person will have:
4-5 years of experience in design, creative, content, or agency environments
Proven experience owning delivery—not just contributing to execution
Strong project management and organizational skills
Clear, confident written communication
The ability to manage multiple stakeholders and feedback loops with ease
Comfort balancing structure with creative judgment
Experience working closely with design or creative teams
Familiarity with creative ops or design ops
Experience supporting sales, marketing, or product storytelling
Exposure to fast-paced agency or SaaS environments
