About the Opportunity

We are seeking experienced Staff UX Designers / Product Designers to support high-impact digital transformation initiatives within a large, enterprise retail organization.

These opportunities focus on modernizing complex enterprise applications, improving internal tools, and creating intuitive digital experiences that help store associates and business teams work more efficiently.

The ideal candidates are highly independent, hands-on designers who thrive in complex product environments and can take ownership of UX initiatives from discovery through delivery.

Projects will span store selling experiences, operational workflows, enterprise applications, and reporting and analytics tools.

Atlanta-based candidates are strongly preferred; however, remote candidates will be considered if they can consistently support Eastern Time business hours.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end UX design initiatives, from discovery and problem definition through interaction design, prototyping, validation, and delivery.

• Design intuitive, scalable experiences for complex enterprise applications, internal tools, and associate-facing digital products.

• Translate complicated business processes, technical requirements, and user needs into streamlined workflows and effective design solutions.

• Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, and business stakeholders to define requirements and deliver user-centered solutions.

• Create user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity designs, interactive prototypes, and detailed design specifications using Figma.

• Conduct or participate in user research, usability testing, and design validation to inform product decisions.

• Improve information architecture, navigation, and interaction patterns across complex applications.

• Contribute to and leverage established design systems to maintain consistency and scalability.

• Present design recommendations, communicate trade-offs, and influence product direction through clear storytelling and evidence-based decisions.

• Leverage modern AI-enabled design tools to accelerate workflows, explore solutions, and improve design efficiency.

• Operate independently, manage ambiguity, and adapt quickly to evolving business priorities.

Required Qualifications

• Extensive professional experience in UX Design, Product Design, or Interaction Design, with demonstrated ability to operate at a Staff, Lead, or Principal level.

• Strong hands-on experience designing complex enterprise applications, B2B SaaS platforms, internal tools, or operational software.

• Proven ability to own the full UX design lifecycle, from discovery through implementation.

• Advanced proficiency in Figma, including high-fidelity UI design, interactive prototyping, and design systems.

• Strong understanding of interaction design, information architecture, usability principles, and user-centered design methodologies.

• Experience simplifying complex workflows, data-heavy interfaces, or multi-step business processes.

• Ability to collaborate effectively with product management, engineering, and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and presentation skills.

• Demonstrated ability to work independently, prioritize competing needs, and deliver high-quality solutions in fast-paced environments.

• Portfolio demonstrating hands-on UX work, complex problem-solving, and clear individual design contributions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing retail technology, store operations applications, or associate-facing tools.

• Background in e-commerce, merchant platforms, transactional workflows, or enterprise business systems.

• Experience designing reporting dashboards, analytics tools, data visualization, or complex data tables.

• Familiarity with legacy application modernization and enterprise digital transformation.

• Experience with accessibility standards and scalable design systems.

• Experience using AI-enabled design and development tools such as Claude, Cursor, or similar technologies.

• Previous experience working within large enterprise organizations.

• Atlanta-area location and ability to collaborate onsite.

What We’re Looking For

We are particularly interested in designers who combine strategic thinking with strong hands-on execution.

Successful candidates will be comfortable stepping into established product environments, understanding complicated business workflows, identifying opportunities for improvement, and independently translating those opportunities into practical, polished UX solutions.

This is not a research-only or strategy-only position. The team needs experienced product designers who can move fluidly between research, problem-solving, interaction design, visual design, prototyping, and delivery.

Why This Opportunity?

• Work on high-visibility enterprise applications supporting a large retail organization.

• Help modernize digital tools used in complex, real-world operational environments.

• Collaborate with established product, engineering, and UX teams.

• Contribute to multiple initiatives with meaningful business and user impact.

• Opportunity for contract extension based on business needs.
