Our Design Hub is a high-impact creative team shaping how millions of users experience Food and Rides across 9 countries in Latin America. Operating at scale means balancing speed, craft, and strategic thinking — and that’s where this role comes in.

We’re looking for a Design Manager who can operate at both altitudes: defining strategy while staying close enough to the work to elevate creative quality. This is not a traffic-management role — it’s a creative leadership position.

You will lead a talented team of designers, strengthen design excellence, and help build a culture where ideas, storytelling, and execution coexist at the highest level. If you believe design is both a business driver and a cultural force, you’ll thrive here.

• Defining creative direction across Food & Rides for LATAM, ensuring high craft standards at scale.


• Translating business goals into inspiring and effective design strategies.


• Leading, mentoring, and developing designers across different seniority levels.


• Raising the creative bar through clear, actionable feedback and strong design judgment.


• Partnering with Marketing, Product, and cross-functional teams to influence decisions early.


• Bringing clarity to ambiguous challenges and guiding teams through complexity.


• Optimizing workflows and processes to enable speed without sacrificing quality.


• Prioritizing effectively across multiple countries and initiatives.


• Empowering teams to operate autonomously while staying aligned with broader goals.

• +7 years of experience


• Proven experience leading design teams in fast-paced, high-impact environments.


• Strong creative craft — you know what great looks like and how to get there.


• A strategic mindset with the ability to connect design decisions to business outcomes.


• Experience managing complex scopes, ideally across multiple markets or regions.


• Exceptional communication skills and confidence influencing senior stakeholders.


• Professional fluency in English (written and spoken), with the ability to confidently present ideas, influence stakeholders, and operate in a regional environment.


• A coaching mentality — you grow people, not just projects.


• Strong sense of ownership, organization, and decision-making.


• Comfort navigating ambiguity and turning it into clarity.


• Bonus points if you bring:


• Experience in app-based ecosystems, marketplaces, or tech-driven brands.


• The ability to combine systems thinking with bold creative vision.


• A strong understanding of UX/UI principles — not just at a tools level, but as a way of thinking about user behavior, journeys, and interaction patterns.


• Experience collaborating closely with Product and UX teams to create seamless, intentional experiences.

• We create customer value – We strive to always create valuable experiences for our users in everything we do. Our focus is to always innovate new experiences that are safe, pleasant, and efficient.
• We are data-driven – We are strong believers in making informed decisions, that’s why we are data-driven. We can better navigate the business landscape strategically by analyzing valuable metrics.
• We believe in Win-win Collaboration – Success is a team sport. When we work to help our partners and colleagues win, we win, too. While keeping everyone's best interest at heart, we communicate with candor and execute with excellence in all we do.
• We believe in integrity – Integrity is at the very core of our business. We are people who always want to do the right thing. Our intentions are sincere, we speak our minds and listen to each other.
• We always strive to do better. That means venturing beyond our comfort zones, learning from our mistakes, and helping each other grow.
• We believe in Diversity and Inclusion – Diversity is one of our biggest strengths. Our differences are what makes us distinct. We respect each other and believe in equal opportunities for all.

We are committed to building inclusive and diverse teams.

At DiDi, we believe that our differences are our biggest source of strength. That‘s why we are committed to promoting equal opportunities to all candidates and employees as an Equal Opportunity Employer.
