About Spara

Spara is building enterprise-grade AI agents to instantly engage, qualify, & convert sales leads into pipeline & revenue. We believe every company will soon provide AI-powered, human-level sales conversations to their customers—and we’re building the platform to make that possible.

Sales is the economic engine of every company, representing an addressable market of $28B. We're solving this complex, high revenue problem with a multi-modal approach including chat, email, voice, and beyond. This gives us a significant advantage in the market and presents exciting engineering opportunities.

We are a tight-knit, experienced team building a multi-billion dollar AI-first company in the heart of New York City. Our culture emphasizes thoughtful decisions, sustainable development practices, and steady momentum building on deep expertise.

Spara is backed by $15M in funding from top-tier venture capital firms, led by Radical Ventures & Inspired Capital, and supported by AI luminaries including founders of PyTorch and Google Cloud TPU, as well as Heads of Sales at Anthropic and OpenAI.

We are led by seasoned multi-time founders with deep AI and go-to-market expertise:

  • David, previous co-founder/CEO of Triplemint, ran training, coaching, and operations for a 250 person sales team. He led Triplemint to acquisition and currently sits on the board of The Agency RE, a $250M revenue business.

  • Zander was technical co-founder of Nomad Health (now post-Series D). He most recently led Platform at Hyperscience AI, developing workflow orchestration systems for computer vision models.

This Role

As a Director of Product Design at Spara, you will:

  • Architect UX solutions to complex customer challenges, including how non-technical GTM users manage hybrid AI/human workflows

  • Lead user research and testing to deeply understand customer needs to ensure informed product decision making

  • Define quantitative success criteria for Spara's products across multiple dimensions

  • Work with the leadership team to continuously define Spara's product roadmap

  • Operate with a high degree of autonomy while collaborating closely with leadership to shape the product roadmap and technical vision

  • Drive innovation by staying current with best practices and emerging trends in AI applications

  • Contribute to our culture of sustainable innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement

  • Manage and grow the Product Design team

Our engineering team is entirely Staff-level and empowered with AI copilots—Spara builds and iterates at rapid speed, shipping to production multiple times per day. Product Design is a critical part of our rapid development process.

Qualifications
  • 8+ years product design experience, including a strong focus on enterprise SaaS and a demonstrated deep interest in the rapidly emerging landscape of AI-native products

  • Strong grasp of product design methodologies, modern tooling, and technologies across the stack

  • Power user of modern design tools, including Figma

  • Proven ability to thrive in early-stage, agile environments and define solutions in the face of ambiguity and uncertainty

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • [Optional] Some level of programming experience is helpful in understanding the "materials" you will be working with.

Location & Work Schedule
  • Hybrid: 3 days per week in our office in downtown Manhattan, with the option to work remotely on Wednesdays and Fridays

Benefits
  • Competitive salary, ranging from $220k to $270k, and equity, depending on experience

  • Comprehensive benefits package

  • Sustainable work culture that values focused work and professional growth

  • Collaborative environment with experienced engineers solving cutting-edge challenges

  • In-office culture in NYC with flexibility for work-life balance
