About the Role

We’re hiring a Product Design Lead to shape and lead the design of a suite of enterprise digital tools supporting a fast-paced organization. These platforms enable planning, purchasing, ordering, and vendor management—systems that directly impact daily operations.

Design is a growing capability within this team, and we’re looking for a leader who thrives in complexity and enjoys building from the ground up. You’ll work closely with Product and Engineering partners to design real-world solutions for real users, from concept to implementation.

This is a hybrid leadership + hands‑on role (60% research/40% hands‑on) that requires both strategic thinking and execution. You will lead discovery efforts, define future‑state journeys, and deliver thoughtful, intuitive UX/UI for operational teams.

Lead design for one or more core product areas
Define current‑state and future‑state user flows
Translate operational challenges into elegant UX and intuitive UI
Identify system dependencies, workflows, and data flows
Collaborate with operators, subject matter experts, and users to deeply understand needs
Partner with Product and Engineering to align design with business outcomes
Facilitate workshops and cross‑functional design sessions
Advocate for design standards, accessibility, and usability
Clearly document and communicate design decisions to stakeholders
Provide feedback, coaching, and guidance to raise design quality across teams

You’ll Thrive Here If You…

Enjoy untangling complex problems into simple user experiences
Balance strategy with hands‑on execution
Use human‑centered design to influence business outcomes
Are comfortable in fast‑moving, evolving environments
Collaborate easily with technical and non‑technical partners
Care deeply about the impact your designs have on real users

Required Experience

5+ years in Product UX/UI Design, including at least 1 year in a lead role
Experience working in operations‑driven environments such as hospitality, supply chain, logistics, or food tech
Strong product thinking—able to connect user needs with business goals and systems design
Proficiency with Figma (or comparable design tools)
Experience with emerging Generative AI tools (e.g., Cursor, V0, Lovable, ai.studio) is a strong asset
Ability to conduct user research (field studies, interviews, usability testing)
Experience facilitating design critiques, workshops, and reviews
Background designing enterprise software such as ERP or SaaS platforms
