Design Lead - Acumatica
MYOB
Design
Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About the role:
MYOB Acumatica is the leading ERP for mid-market businesses in Australia and New Zealand. Our strength is not only in the industry-leading ERP itself, but also the ecosystem we have built around it: the products, services, connected workflows, and intelligent capabilities that help our customers simplify complexity, move faster, and succeed. Design plays a central role in shaping that ecosystem, ensuring it is built on a genuine understanding of the people it serves.
As Design Lead, you will lead a small, senior design team that shapes how MYOB builds and delivers value across this ecosystem. Your role operates at two levels: leading and developing a team of service and product designers and working as a hands-on design practitioner in the strategic spaces that require senior judgement, cross-team coordination, and direct stakeholder engagement.
- Lead and develop a talented design team, driving high engagement, strong delivery, and exceptional partner and customer outcomes.
- Help shape the design strategy for MYOB Mid-Market, ensuring design investment is focused on the highest-leverage opportunities for partners and customers, not just the most visible or most requested problems.
- Champion design thinking and human evidence across the product organisation, ensuring both are integrated into how the team prioritises, discovers, and builds.
- Build and maintain a connected view of the end-to-end experience across our ecosystem, generating the insights that help the business see where value is being created and where it is being lost.
- Stay at the forefront of how AI is reshaping design practice, and bring that thinking into the team: ensuring MYOB leads with AI where it creates genuine value for customers, and that the design team is equipped to discover, prototype, and validate AI-enabled experiences.
- Build strong working relationships with Product Managers, PMM, Pricing, Engineering, Marketing, and senior stakeholders, making design’s contribution to partner outcomes, customer experience, and business performance visible and impactful.
- Deep understanding of service, experience and product design disciplines, with fluency across all three.
- Proven ability to lead, inspire, and develop cross-functional design teams to deliver high-quality, customer-centred outcomes.
- Strong experience in systems thinking, able to connect end-to-end journeys across multiple products, channels, and organisational boundaries.
- Experience operating in a B2B, platform, channel-led, or enterprise software context where design works around and beyond a core product.
- Ability to articulate and balance customer, commercial, and strategic perspectives, translating insight into actionable design priorities.
- Well versed with AI-enabled design, automation, or data-driven experiences, and curiosity to continue evolving these capabilities within the team.
- Strong experience design leadership role.
