About The Mission

ECS is seeking a Product Designer to lead design improvements for the next public version of the CIRCIA cyber incident reporting web form. The objective is to translate complex data and technical requirements into a clear, easy-to-navigate reporting experience that reduces ambiguity and error for reporting entities. This role supports CISA's mission to lower the barrier for organizations to accurately report cyber incidents in compliance with the CIRCIA rule.

In this role, you will translate complex data and regulatory requirements into a clear, low-friction user experience that enables organizations to accurately and efficiently report cyber incidents.

You will partner with business owners, engineering teams, and compliance stakeholders to move design work from ambiguous problem definition through execution-ready specifications. Your work will directly shape the public's experience with federal cyber incident reporting and must meet federal usability and accessibility standards throughout.

This role requires strong skills in interaction design, form design, and cross-functional collaboration. You will identify and document usability and accessibility issues, contribute to iterative design cycles, and ensure all designs meet the technical and regulatory requirements of the CIRCIA program.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead design efforts for one or more priority digital products or forms, partnering with business owners, engineering, and compliance/legal stakeholders to define ambiguous problems and align priorities.
• Prepare draft specifications, annotations, interaction notes, screen states, and expected behaviors for review by senior design leadership.
• Provide structured handoffs to engineering and operations, including acceptance criteria grounded in user research.
• Identify and **escalate** usability, accessibility, and consistency issues encountered during design and review.
• Iterate on designs based on stakeholder and user feedback throughout the product lifecycle.

Salary Range: $120,000 - $145,000

• Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 5+ years of product design experience, including translating complex or technical requirements into clear user experiences.
• Proficiency with design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Mural, or equivalent tool) and experience preparing detailed design specifications for engineering handoff.
• Experience identifying and documenting usability and accessibility issues.

Desired Skills
