Job description

Jeppesen ForeFlight is seeking a Senior Product Designer II to join our Global Aviation Data organization. Every day, pilots and airlines around the world fly on the aeronautical data we produce. This data is the backbone of global aviation, and we're transforming how it's produced and delivered.

That means replacing older tools and innovating with AI to work on problems that have been done by hand for decades. It is one of the biggest design opportunities at the company, and the problem space remains to be defined.

While most of what you build will not be seen by pilots, it will be used by the experts behind them, making aviation operations safer and more efficient. Our goal of delivering better tools to these experts means everything gets better, from dispatch to flight deck.

This is a hands-on senior role. You will lead design across multiple product areas, and you are expected to work in code. We are not looking for a designer who hands off a Figma file and waits. We are looking for someone who opens a pull request. There is an unusual amount of room here for someone who wants to shape a system rather than decorate one.

We're looking for someone who cares deeply about their work, the kind of person who can't help but be all in and ready to swing big to make things happen. The right candidate is a seasoned professional who knows how to overcome obstacles, clear them for others, cut through complexity, and is ready to get scrappy to clear a pathway. We want to move quickly, but making the right decisions based on data. Communication is crucial to success in this role; the right person must be able to clearly present ideas to team members at all levels and turn customer feedback into actionable items.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead design for complex product areas end to end, across several teams
• Translate ambiguous problems into clear design direction
• Design the surfaces where experts review, correct, and approve
• Write and ship production-quality front-end code; real components against our codebase, not just prototypes
• Conduct your own discovery and research with the people who will use what you build
• Partner with Product and Engineering to frame problems, shape solutions, and make the tradeoffs visible to senior stakeholders
• Own adoption, working cross-functionally and within the team to ensure usage of and training for new tools
• Mentor other designers and raise the craft bar through feedback
• Measure design feedback, using both quantitative metrics and qualitative feedback to enhance and iterate

Basic Qualifications

• 7+ years shipping complex digital products, and a portfolio demonstrating end to end design work (how you think and not just what you shipped)
• Proven experience owning complex features or product areas independently, from discovery to launch
• History of shipping code as well as designs, working in real repositories, opening PRs, and responding to engineering feedback, with genuine fluency in at least one modern stack (e.g., React, TypeScript, Angular, Swift/SwiftUI)
• Track record of presenting and defending your work and decisions
• Demonstrated ability to lead alignment across multiple teams and stakeholder groups and to make consequential decisions whose effects extend beyond your immediate work, and to plan and run your own discovery and validation, partnering with dedicated researchers on more complex studies
• Experience with AI tools, and the appetite to keep exploring and experimenting with new ones

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with data-dense, workflow-heavy internal or professional tools, especially in aviation, healthcare, finance, logistics, industrial operations, or another complex domain
• Experience with mapping or cartography-heavy products, or data visualization
• Experience designing under a regulatory or certification regime where auditability and traceability are requirements, not niceties
• Experience designing the interaction layer for AI-assisted or automated systems: confidence display, provenance, override paths, and error recovery
• Pilot or aviation enthusiast
