Happy Hump Day, all! We’ve updated our list of Design Leadership opportunities, adding 10 new ones this morning. [You can check them out!](https://www.notion.so/Active-Job-Opportunities-23f10dbba51a80788f29c8db72e59f37) What are some job trends you’re seeing in the design space currently? One I’m noticing is the want / need for more “T Shaped” people. Seems there is a ton of value in being able to contribute throughout the product lifecycle. ---

Happy Hump Day peeps! Continuing to update and clean up our Design Leader opportunities list! We’ve added 10 new opportunities. [Take a look!](https://www.notion.so/Active-Job-Opportunities-23f10dbba51a80788f29c8db72e59f37) A pattern I’m seeing, Gone are the days of “managing” designers. You should expect to scale design, build systems, incorporate AI/automation, and embed design thinking across the organization. Should we do a post on how to successfully lean into these buckets? (scale design, build systems, incorporate AI/automation, embed design thinking) ---

Came across this post, which seems to be a trend in how Design Leadership is viewed. I wonder, though, will these ideas stick, as this seems to be a continuous cycle every 7-8 years. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/helio/original/1X/c039b4d4027964bdf57698d366f59406781dd8b8.png) > **[\#ai #designexcellence #designleadership #newdesignera #futureofdesign |...](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jenniferdarmour_ai-designexcellence-designleadership-activity-7390100261937143809-z7Eq)** > > Design has evolved beyond products and experiences. > Now it shapes organizations, ethics, and direction. > > What matters most today?
