📋 Description

• Define and lead Routeware’s multi-year UX strategy across the product portfolio, with an explicit prioritization framework for where to invest first. • Drive convergence of visual language, interaction patterns, and information architecture across acquired and native products. • Build and own a scalable design system (components, tokens, patterns, accessibility primitives) usable by all product squads. • Establish UX, UI, and accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2 AA minimum) and the governance to keep them enforced as products evolve. • Operationalize UX inside our agile process: discovery, research, prototyping, validation, and release readiness — without becoming a bottleneck. • Define how PMs, engineers, and designers collaborate at each phase, including lightweight rituals like design reviews, critique, and handoff. • Directly manage and grow our existing UX designer. Mentor, develop, and unblock. Build the hiring plan and org design for the function as the team scales. • Establish scalable, lightweight research practices the team can run with: usability testing, journey mapping, and customer feedback synthesis. • Define and own UX-specific success metrics (task completion, time-to-value, usability scores, onboarding friction). Co-own product adoption and retention metrics with Product, and drive continuous UX improvement through experimentation. • Use AI tooling fluently to accelerate the team’s work — prototyping (Figma AI, v0, similar), research synthesis, content generation, and design QA.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years in UX, Product Design, or Human-Centered Design, with progressive scope and impact. • Experience leading or mentoring designers; comfortable as a player-coach with at least one direct report. • Demonstrated success building or significantly maturing a UX function — design system, research practice, or design ops — in a SaaS environment. • Strong portfolio showing systems thinking, multi-product or multi-platform work, and measurable UX outcomes. • Deep fluency across UX disciplines: research, IA, interaction design, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), and usability testing. • Hands-on proficiency in Figma. • Working fluency with Jira, Confluence, and modern product analytics tools. • Track record using AI tools (Figma AI, v0, ChatGPT, research synthesis tools, etc.) to accelerate design workflows. • Excellent communication with both technical and executive audiences.

🏖️ Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits (medical with HSA option, vision, dental, and life insurance) • Paid parental leave • Medical and Dependent FSA • 401K match • Unlimited PTO • Ten company holidays • 1 Volunteer day • Summer Friday's
