About DAT

Job Application Deadline: 7/3/2026 

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
