The Opportunity

DAT Freight & Analytics is looking for a Senior Product Designer to join the Product Design team, reporting to our Director of Product Design. In this role, you'll be embedded in cross-functional product teams, designing experiences across DAT's suite of products that serve carriers, brokers, and shippers in the freight industry working hybrid in Denver, Colorado.

This is a hands-on, craft-forward role for someone who thrives on solving complex problems with clarity and intentionality. You'll own the end-to-end experience for your product area, applying UX best practices, experimentation, and data-driven decision-making to ship work that genuinely improves how our customers run their businesses.

You'll bring strong UI sensibility and deep UX thinking to a collaborative team that values craft, curiosity, and outcomes. You'll be a go-to design voice on your squad, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and Research to raise the quality bar and help others do the same.

What You’ll Do

Own End-to-End Product Experiences

  • Lead UX and UI design for your product area, owning quality from discovery through delivery across one or more cross-functional squads.
  • Define user flows, interaction models, and interface designs that translate complex freight workflows into intuitive, scalable experiences.
  • Approach every project with a customer-centric mindset, a clear hypothesis, and a defined measure of success.
  • Deliver multiple design iterations as a matter of course; bring a high standard of craft to every stage of the work.
  • Serve as a go-to resource within your area, bringing a confident point of view on best practices and helping teammates navigate design decisions.
  • Ensure quality, accessibility, and visual consistency across your surfaces, upholding accessibility standards and championing inclusive design practices.

Drive Impact Through Experimentation and Data

  • Partner with Product, Data, and Research to frame design decisions around evidence; use analytics, user research, and qualitative feedback to consistently inform and refine your work.
  • Design, document, and support experiments and A/B tests, framing every design as a prototype that can be learned from and improved.
  • Track UX and business metrics relevant to your product area to demonstrate impact and proactively surface opportunities to improve.
  • Lead certain research efforts in close collaboration with your UXR peers; help teammates and stakeholders develop an iterative mindset around design.

Collaborate and Elevate Craft

  • Work closely with Product, Engineering, Data, and Research partners to bring experiences from concept through launch, ensuring expectations are clearly communicated throughout.
  • Lead communication within your workstreams, presenting complex design decisions effectively, managing stakeholder alignment, and facilitating productive design reviews and critiques.
  • Assist in mentoring peers on UI/UX skills, design principles, and best practices; provide structured feedback that helps teammates grow and produce better work.
  • Contribute to team rituals (design crits, discovery readouts, retrospectives) that improve the quality and culture of our design practice.

Operate with a Product Mindset

  • Understand the goals behind the work, not just the request. Connect design decisions to business outcomes, user needs, and team objectives.
  • Understand how your work integrates with adjacent teams and initiatives; anticipate interdependencies and communicate roadblocks before they require escalation.
  • Use AI as a meaningful part of your design workflow, improving execution, iteration, and problem-solving, while modeling effective and principled AI use for others on the team.
  • Pragmatically apply design process as a guide, not a rulebook; exercise judgment to deliver quality work within project constraints.

The Skills and Experience You’ll Bring

Required

  • 5-8+ years of experience in UX design, product design, or a closely related field.
  • A portfolio demonstrating strong design craft applied to complex digital products, with clear evidence of both UX thinking and UI quality.
  • Expert command of UX and UI fundamentals: information architecture, interaction design, visual design, layout, typography, color, and visual hierarchy.
  • Experience working within cross-functional product teams alongside Product, Engineering, and Research partners.
  • Demonstrated experience with experimentation, A/B testing frameworks, or data-informed design iteration.
  • Advanced proficiency in Figma, including organized component use, contribution to shared design libraries, and maintenance of design system artifacts.
  • Ability to mentor peers effectively, providing structured feedback, setting a craft standard, and helping others develop their skills.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills, with experience managing stakeholder alignment across teams.
  • Solid understanding of accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) and inclusive design practices.

Bonus Skills 

  • Experience designing for B2B SaaS, marketplace, or data-heavy products.
  • Familiarity with SVPG principles and modern product operating models, including empowered teams, continuous discovery, and outcome-focused ways of working.
  • Experience in freight, logistics, supply chain, fintech, or similarly complex industry domains.
  • Familiarity with analytics or experimentation tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Optimizely, Mixpanel).
  • Exposure to design for trust and safety, identity, compliance, or partner management surfaces.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
