Lead Enterprise UX Designer

Job description

We are hiring a Lead Enterprise UX Designer to help lead UX across Terra Quantum’s enterprise software portfolio. This is a senior, hands-on role reporting directly to the Head of UX. You will lead major initiatives, mentor other designers, and help maintain our design system and UX standards.

Your initial work will focus on enterprise security products that identify cryptographic risk and help security teams prioritize remediation. Later work will include optimization software for warehouse operations and customer-facing machine-learning solutions for areas such as predictive maintenance and production forecasting.

The role requires strong qualitative research, systems thinking, information architecture, and interaction design. You will participate in Product-led ideation and event storming sessions, conduct user interviews, contribute to surveys, and work closely with Engineering on integration, permissions, data, and implementation constraints.

Some projects require polished interfaces for demonstrations and executive communication. Production solutions often need to fit into systems customers already use. The design problems therefore extend beyond screens to how complex technical capabilities fit into real enterprise workflows. You will help determine when a new interface adds value and when an integration, embedded workflow, or administrative surface is the better solution.

Qualifications

Required

• 7+ years of professional experience in UX, interaction design, product design, or a closely related field.
• Portfolio evidence showing research, information architecture, interaction design, and the reasoning behind major design decisions.
• Direct experience conducting qualitative user research, including interviews and usability studies.
• Experience designing complex enterprise, industrial, scientific, security, or other data-intensive software.
• Experience translating research findings into workflows, information architecture, interaction models, prototypes, or product recommendations.
• Experience working directly with Product and Engineering throughout discovery, design, and implementation.
• Experience mentoring designers or leading design critique.

Desired

• Experience with enterprise security, identity, access control, or data governance products.
• Experience with ERP, warehouse-management, logistics, or other operational enterprise systems.
• Experience designing products that integrate into existing customer platforms rather than operate only as standalone applications.
• Experience with optimization, machine learning, analytics, or decision-support software.
• Experience maintaining or contributing to a design system.
• Experience with accessibility standards and inclusive design.
• Experience working in distributed or research-driven technical organizations.

Responsibilities

Overall

• Lead UX research and design for complex enterprise software initiatives.
• Translate research into information architecture, workflows, interaction models, prototypes, and design recommendations.
• Participate in Product-led discovery, ideation, and event storming activities.
• Work closely with Engineering on data, permissions, integrations, and implementation constraints.
• Determine when a capability needs a new interface and when an embedded workflow or integration better fits the customer environment.
• Mentor designers and contribute to design critique, standards, and design-system stewardship.
• Review implementation to ensure delivered experiences match the intended design.

Day-to-day

• Conduct customer and user interviews, usability studies, and workflow analysis.
• Synthesize research into design decisions, prototypes, and specifications.
• Join Product-led discovery, ideation, and event-storming sessions.
• Review workflows, permissions, data requirements, and integration constraints with Engineering.
• Create and review interaction designs and production-ready interface designs.
• Participate in design critique and maintain consistency with the company design system.
• Review implemented work with engineers and resolve design issues during delivery.
