Staff Product Designer

Join DAT Freight & Analytics as a Staff Product Designer, where you'll set design direction across multiple cross-functional product teams. This hands-on role requires a strong sense of hierarchy, purpose, and user need, as well as the ability to own ambiguity end-to-end. You'll be a trusted collaborator and craft mentor, leading UX and UI design for a multi-team product area and ensuring quality, accessibility, and visual consistency across surfaces.

• Lead UX and UI design for a multi-team product area, ensuring coherence and quality across several cross-functional squads.
• Take ambiguous, loosely-scoped problems and turn them into a clear design point of view before detailed execution starts.
• Serve as the go-to design authority across your product area, resolving pattern conflicts and design debates that a single squad can't settle on its own.

• You won't have direct reports, but you'll be expected to raise the level of everyone around you through your work, your critique, and your judgment
• You'll bring deep UI craft and systems-level UX thinking to a collaborative team that values craft, curiosity, and outcomes
• You're an experienced designer with strong UI craft and the UX depth to own coherence across multiple product surfaces, not just one
• You're energized by ambiguous, high-stakes problems, good data, and the challenge of designing experiences that make real differences for real users at scale
• You're the person other designers and PMs go to when a decision needs to hold up across teams, and you raise the bar for everyone around you
• Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills, with experience managing stakeholder alignment across teams and presenting to senior leadership
• 8-12+ years of experience in UX/UI design, product design, including demonstrated Staff/Lead-level scope
• Demonstrated experience with experimentation, A/B testing frameworks, or data-informed design iteration
• Solid understanding of accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) and inclusive design practices
• A portfolio demonstrating strong design craft applied to complex digital products, with clear evidence of both UX thinking and UI quality across multiple teams or product areas
• A track record of mentoring peers effectively — providing structured feedback, setting a craft standard, and helping others develop their skills
• Demonstrable usage of AI in your design practice, with evidence of how you leverage AI for prototyping, testing, and shipping. — We'll ask you to show this, not just describe it
• Advanced proficiency in Figma, including organized component use, contribution to shared design libraries, and ownership of design system artifacts
• Expert command of UX and UI fundamentals: information architecture, interaction design, visual design, layout, typography, color, and visual hierarchy
• Experience working across multiple cross-functional product teams alongside Product, Engineering, and Research partners, without formal management authority
