The Opportunity

We are partnering with a rapidly growing, venture-backed technology company building a next-generation operational platform from the ground up.

The platform combines:

• workflow-heavy operational interfaces,

• real-time dashboards and monitoring systems,

• data visualization experiences,

• dynamic tables and reporting,

• and mobile operational tooling used in fast-paced environments.

This is not a traditional marketing-site or consumer-product design role.

You will help design systems used daily by operational teams to manage complex processes, monitor performance, respond to issues, and execute critical workflows efficiently and accurately.

The work spans:

• operational workflows,

• monitoring interfaces,

• administrative tools,

• analytics dashboards,

• exception management,

• and real-time data visibility experiences.

This is a high-impact role where product design directly influences operational efficiency at scale.

You will design products used by real operational teams under real-world pressure.

The interfaces must be:

• fast,

• intuitive,

• highly reliable,

• operationally efficient,

• and resistant to human error.

The current platform evolved without a mature design foundation. You will help define and elevate the UX standards of the next generation system from day one.

This is an opportunity to shape:

• workflow design,

• operational UX,

• data visualization standards,

• and scalable design systems across a mission-critical platform.
  

What you'll do

• Own the end-to-end product design experience across multiple operational products

• Design workflow-heavy interfaces optimized for speed, clarity, and usability

• Create dashboards and visualization systems that simplify complex operational data

• Design interfaces for desktop, tablet, and mobile operational users

• Build and evolve a scalable design system and component library

• Work closely with engineers to ensure designs are implementation-ready

• Collaborate deeply with stakeholders to understand workflows and operational pain points

• Design edge cases, exception flows, validation states, and recovery experiences

• Run usability testing sessions with real users

• Use AI-native workflows and tools to accelerate ideation, prototyping, and iteration

• Participate actively in product discussions, sprint planning, and design reviews
