Product Design Lead

Design Lead, PetroApp You'll own how PetroApp looks, feels, and works.

We move fuel, money, and fleets. Right now we do it across several apps that were built fast and separately, and it shows. Different patterns, different components, friction where there shouldn't be any. We need someone to make all of it feel like one product, then keep it that way as we grow.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll set the bar and you'll also sit in Figma. If you only want to manage, this isn't it. If you only want to push pixels, also not it.

What you're actually walking into

PetroApp runs the rails for fleet fuel payments. An NFC chip in the windshield, a tap at the pump, no receipts, no fraud. Behind that simple promise sits a real spread of users: fleet admins watching budgets, drivers at a pump in 45 degree heat, finance teams reconciling VAT, and now individual car owners using our consumer app for fuel, car wash, oil changes, and a wallet.

Same company, very different jobs to be done. Your work is to make each one feel obvious.

What you'll own

• One coherent system. Take a fragmented multi-app experience and unify it. Build the design system that lets us ship faster without it looking like five different teams did the work. Arabic-first, RTL done right, not bolted on.
• The hard flows. Fleet dashboards dense with data. A driver flow that works one-handed at a pump. A wallet that has to satisfy both a nervous first-time user and SAMA. You'll lead these yourself.
• The B2C app, fully. Our consumer app is young and you'll own its design outright, direction down to detail, plus the bridges between a company's fleet and the personal cars its employees drive.
• How we work, not just what we ship. We're betting that AI changes how design, product, and engineering get done, not just what ends up on screen. You'll lead that bet. Test new tools and methods, find the ones that actually make us faster, and pull the rest of the org along. Curiosity here is part of the job, not a side hobby.
• Proof, not opinion. Usability tests, analytics, real driver and admin feedback from the ground. We decide with evidence.
• A team and a bar. Mentor the designers we have, help hire the ones we need, and run reviews that make everyone's work sharper.

Requirements

ou'll fit if you

• Have 7+ years designing real products, with scars from leading complex ones.
• Have built a design system that outlived your involvement.
• Have worked across both B2B SaaS and consumer, ideally somewhere money or regulation made things harder.
• Think in systems and journeys, not screens.
• Can show business impact, not just pretty work.
• Are fluent in Figma and genuinely use AI in your day, and like dragging new tools and methods into how teams work.
• Have shipped Arabic/RTL products, or are hungry to. This is core, not a footnote.
• Stay calm when the brief is fuzzy and the timeline is short, because both will be.

Why now

We just raised, we're on an IPO track, and the consumer side is wide open. The design decisions made in the next year set the standard for everything after. And the way AI is reshaping how products get built, the team that figures it out first pulls ahead. That's the role: not maintaining a system, building the one we'll be judged by.

Benefits

• You will own and shape the security function in a high-impact, hands-on lead role.
• You’ll work at the intersection of security, reliability, and platform engineering, directly influencing how PetroApp scales.
• Opportunity to work with a modern tech stack and a team that values pragmatism, automation, and continuous improvement.
• A culture that cares about doing the right thing for customers and partners, with leadership support for investing in security and reliability.
