Principal UX Designer
workwize
This is a chance to own product design decisions early in your career. At Workwize, you won't be executing someone else's vision—you'll be defining it. As Principal UX Designer, you'll work directly with leadership to solve real problems for IT teams across 100+ countries. That means your work moves from design file to user impact in weeks, not months.
You'll discover user needs, define product solutions using data and research, and turn complex workflows into intuitive interfaces. You'll collaborate closely with the Head of Product and design team to shape how 50,000 users and counting interact with our SaaS platform. The problems you solve affect how companies manage laptops, equipment tracking, and remote team onboarding globally.
This role suits designers with strong portfolios showing user research, wireframing, and end-to-end product thinking. You should be comfortable speaking to users, analyzing data, and justifying design decisions. Whether you studied design, HCI, or learned independently, what matters is demonstrating that you think through the user's perspective.
