Position Summary
The Senior Product Designer is a highly skilled, hands-on contributor who plays a key role in shaping intuitive, user-centered digital experiences across one or more products or initiatives. This role balances strong design craft with thoughtful problem-solving, collaborating closely with product management, engineering, and research to translate complex requirements into elegant, effective solutions. We expect you will bring an interest in AI, both as an integral tool for solving customer problems, but also in your everyday work.
As a Senior Product Designer, you will own significant portions of the product experience end-to-end, from discovery through execution, while contributing to broader design strategy and standards. You’ll bring a user-first mindset, leverage data and research, and help raise design quality through collaboration, critique, and example.
This role is ideal for a designer who excels at execution, enjoys solving complex UX challenges, and is ready to influence product direction without requiring broad organizational ownership.
Key Responsibilities:
- Turn complex workflows into clear, intuitive user experiences
- Collaborate deeply with product and engineering—no silos
- Ensure consistency and quality across experiences by applying design systems, patterns, and accessibility best practices.
- Design AI-native and automation-driven experiences
- Prototype quickly to test thinking and align engineering
- Communicate design rationale clearly to cross-functional partners and stakeholders.
- Support the evolution of design processes, tools, and standards through participation and feedback.
Required Skills:
- 8+ years designing complex SaaS or enterprise products
- Strong interaction design and systems thinking
- Experience with data-dense UIs and multi-state workflows
- Comfort designing AI-forward or automation-based experiences
- Bias toward clarity, quality, and shipping over perfectionism
- High ownership, low ego
- Able to explain decisions clearly and defend them thoughtfully
- Bachelor’s degree in Design, HCI, or a related field—or equivalent professional experience.
- Proficiency in modern design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Lovable/Cursor/v0, etc) and familiarity with enterprise development workflows.
Compensation
- Salary Range: $135,000 - $150,000 a year
- Bonus: 10%
At Onit, we’re committed to offering fair and competitive compensation. In addition to base pay, associates are eligible for an annual discretionary bonus. The final base salary you receive will reflect factors such as your skills, education, experience, and work location.
Benefits & Perks That Support You:
Onit offers a comprehensive total rewards package designed to support the whole employee at work and beyond:
Health Coverage Choices: Three medical plan options, plus dental and vision, so you can choose what fits best. Employees on our HDHP plan also receive employer contribution to the HSA.
Retirement Savings: 401(k) with a 100% match on the first 3% and 50% on the next 2% of employee contributions.
Time Away: Flexible paid time off, 7 sick days, and 9 paid company holidays annually.
Family Support: Exceptional paid leave for birth parents, non-birth parents, and caregivers. Onit also offers surrogacy and adoption reimbursement.
Income Protection: 100% employer-paid life and disability insurance.
Additional Coverage Options: Voluntary benefits including hospital indemnity, critical illness, accident, and even pet insurance.
Tax-Advantaged Accounts: Healthcare FSA, HSA, and dependent care FSA.

Our Commitment to Applicants
We know that not everyone will check every box in a job description. At Onit, we value diversity, inclusion, and authenticity. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification, we encourage you to apply. You may be exactly who we’re looking for.
This position will remain open for applications for 7 calendar days from the posting date.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information.

Senior Level Associate Designer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level associate designer job?
Employers at this level want candidates who can lead projects from brief to delivery without close oversight. A portfolio that shows strategic thinking, not just craft execution, is essential. Demonstrating that you have mentored junior designers, influenced design systems, or owned cross-functional relationships puts your application ahead of candidates who can only show individual output.
Which companies hire senior level associate designers?
Companies hiring senior level associate designers right now include HDR, Burns & McDonnell, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from both large in-house design teams that need experienced individual contributors and from consultancies and agencies staffing senior creative talent for client-facing work.
Are there remote senior level associate designer jobs?
Yes, remote and hybrid availability is strong at this level. About 28% of senior level associate designer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting employer confidence in placing experienced designers outside a physical studio. Fully on-site roles do still appear, particularly at companies where in-person collaboration with product or brand teams is a priority.
What makes an associate designer role senior level?
A senior level associate designer role is defined by ownership and scope rather than task completion. Expectations include leading design decisions independently, setting the direction for projects rather than executing instructions, contributing to or maintaining design systems, and mentoring less experienced designers. Senior roles carry accountability for outcomes and require cross-functional judgment that mid-level positions do not.
Which industries hire the most senior level associate designers?
Senior level associate designer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Construction & Real Estate, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because their products, platforms, or brand identities require experienced designers who can operate with minimal direction and shape design quality across complex, ongoing work.
