What you will do
- Own design quality and consistency across SSE’s full product breadth - customer journeys, acquisition and onboarding flows, internal operator tools, sales and ops execution, and field-facing applications.
- Lead, mentor, and review the work of a small team of designers - set clear quality standards, provide hands-on guidance, and build a high-bar design culture from the ground up.
- Act as an individual contributor on complex or high-impact problem areas - own design end-to-end and set the bar through example.
- Establish user research as a core practice, including methods suited to non-desk users - field observation, workflow shadowing, and contextual inquiry with operators and ground teams.
- Partner with PMs upstream in problem discovery - shape problem statements and workflow logic before screens are designed, not after.
What they are looking for
- 7-10 years of product design experience, with at least 2-3 yrs’ experience managing or mentoring junior designers.
- Strong design fundamentals across both consumer-facing experiences and internal or workflow-heavy products - comfort switching contexts and knowing what each requires.
- A track record of raising design quality and building design systems in fast-moving environments where processes and inputs are still evolving.
- Functional design instinct - designs for workflows, task efficiency, and decision support, and not just visual quality.
- Specific experience designing for non-desk, operator, or field-force users - logistics, field services, manufacturing, healthcare operations, or similar.
- Comfort with low-fidelity, high-speed prototyping - knows when to sketch and test vs. when to invest in polish, and defaults to the former.
- Familiarity with AI design tools and a genuine interest in building AI-first workflows within the team - not just personally fluent, but able to bring others along.
- Ability to hold their ground on design decisions with PMs, engineers, and senior stakeholders without relying on positional authority.
- Collaborative, low-ego working style that builds trust quickly in a cross-functional environment.
