DAT Freight & Analytics is looking for a Staff Product Designer to join the Product Design team, reporting to our Director of Product Design. In this role, you'll set design direction across multiple cross-functional product teams, shaping how carriers, brokers, and shippers experience DAT’s suite of products at a scope that spans squads, not just a single one.

This is a hands‑on, high‑ambiguity role for someone who’s ready to own coherence and quality across a full product area, not just a feature. You'll be the person who steps in before a problem is fully scoped, resolves design debates that cross team lines, and builds the patterns other designers build on. You won’t have direct reports, but’ll be expected to raise the level of everyone around you through your work, your critique, and your judgment.

You’ll bring deep UI craft and systems‑level UX thinking to a collaborative team that values craft, curiosity, and outcomes. You’ll be a design voice that Product, Engineering, and Research leaders turn to when a decision needs to hold up across the whole product, not just one corner.

• You're an experienced designer with strong UI craft and the UX depth to own coherence across multiple product surfaces, not just one. You're energized by ambiguous, high-stakes problems, good data, and the challenge of designing experiences that make real differences for real users 're the person other designers and PMs go to when a decision needs to hold up across teams, and you raise the bar for everyone around you.
• You're energized by:
  • Crafting refined, high-quality UI that reflects a strong sense of hierarchy, purpose, and user need — and setting the standard others iterate against.
  • Owning ambiguity end-to-end: forming a point of view before a problem is fully scoped, running experiments, measuring outcomes, and improving based on evidence.
  • Being a trusted collaborator and craft mentor on a team that moves quickly, values quality, and takes outcomes seriously.

• Lead UX and UI design for a multi-team product area, owning coherence and quality across several cross-functional squads rather than a single one.
• Take ambiguous, loosely‑scoped problems — new market opportunities, cross‑cutting workflow gaps, technical‑debt‑driven redesigns — and turn them into a clear design point of view before detailed execution starts.
• Define the interaction models and design patterns that other designers on adjacent squads adopt; identify and close design‑system gaps before they become inconsistent across the product.
• Approach every project with a customer‑centric mindset, a clear hypothesis, and a defined measure of success, at a scale where the hypothesis often spans multiple teams’ roadmaps.
• Serve as the go‑to design authority across your product area, resolving pattern conflicts and design debates that a single squad can’t settle on its own.
• Ensure quality, accessibility, and visual consistency across your surfaces, upholding accessibility standards and championing inclusive design practices at a systems level.

• 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.
