Senior Product Designer II – Inventory Designer

Role Overview

• Support and lead UX for the Inventory product area, aligning design direction with product goals, operational realities, and user needs.
• Frame complex inventory challenges into clear, actionable design opportunities across workflows such as counting, ordering, waste, transfers, prep, and reporting.
• Translate business and operational goals into coherent experience direction without over-indexing on feature-level design.
• Design end-to-end, production-ready experiences across mobile and web for operational users (e.g., restaurant managers, shift leads, team members).
• Create clear user flows, interaction patterns, and detailed UI designs that balance usability, speed, accuracy, and real-world constraints.
• Ensure designs support scalability, accessibility, and consistency while remaining pragmatic for engineering delivery.
• Act as the primary design partner for Inventory Product and Engineering leads.
• Facilitate design critiques, working sessions, and reviews to align across disciplines.
• Communicate tradeoffs clearly, balancing usability, technical feasibility, and delivery constraints.
• Advocate for user-centered solutions while navigating tradeoffs between operational needs, technical constraints, and business priorities.
• Design for operational environments where speed, legibility, and error recovery are critical.
• Incorporate accessibility and usability best practices appropriate for shared, on-premise systems.
• Anticipate failure modes and "unhappy paths," ensuring the system remains usable under stress or degraded conditions.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in product design, UX design, or interaction design.
• Proven ability to lead UX strategy and execution for a feature set or product area within a cross-functional team.
• Strong interaction, systems, and workflow design skills—especially for data-heavy, operational, or task-driven products.
• Experience designing for mobile-first or mobile-heavy environments.
• High bar for interaction design, information hierarchy, and usability.
• Comfortable designing detailed flows, states, and edge cases for real-world use.
• Strong proficiency with modern design tools (e.g., Figma) and design documentation practices.
• Demonstrated ability to partner deeply with Product and Engineering.
• Clear communicator who can explain design rationale and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Comfortable operating with autonomy and limited supervision within a defined product area.
