We’re currently seeking a Product Design Director to join our enterprise design team focused on creating transformational associate experiences.
As a Director on the HR design team, you’ll lead a talented, cross-disciplinary team of designers and collaborate deeply with our research teams and Product and Tech leadership.

- Lead High-Complexity Product Design: Leverage emerging AI tools to drive the design of sophisticated internal platforms—specifically focusing on associate growth and performance experiences—built on consistent, repeatable, and scalable design foundations rather than one-off solutions.
- Standardize Complexity: You deeply understand the value of design systems in reducing technical debt and designer "swirl." You will oversee the creation of patterns that allow for high-integrity, repeatable experiences across a diverse portfolio of internal platforms.
- Lead Through Making: We are looking for a "player-coach" who remains hands-on. You will lead your team not just through management, but by prototyping, visualizing complex workflows, and learning through the act of building and testing real experiences.

Leadership: Create conditions for a positive and inclusive team environment and set a vision for an inclusive, collaborative culture that makes your team feel valued and heard
Human-Centered: Champion voices of both customers and partners, modeling the mindset that business and customer outcomes are not distinct but complementary, ultimately resulting in experiences that exceed baseline customer needs and expectations
Business-Focused: Demonstrate expert knowledge of products, processes, our customers, competitors and industry market trends, applying relevant insights to shape how Design should engage and solve business challenges
Problem-Solving: Share insights around technical advances and data capabilities that could influence outcomes, while helping larger teams navigate technical limitations and boundaries in service of bold technological solutions, data destinations and efficiency
Collaboration: Connect the dots across teams, portfolios, platforms and LOBs, bringing together partners and processes in ways that drive more coherent experiences, accelerate delivery and elevate the value of design
Communication: Present work across levels and job functions, modeling a strategic human-centered approach that integrates design frameworks, data and research insights to make the complex accessible, influence senior stakeholders and achieve impactful results

Which Virginia cities have the most product design manager jobs?
McLean, Herndon, and Bland have the most product design manager openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia's proximity to federal agencies and major defense contractors drives the bulk of demand, while Richmond's growing financial technology and healthcare sectors support consistent hiring, and Virginia Beach draws openings tied to military and logistics technology employers based in the Hampton Roads region.
Are there remote product design manager jobs in Virginia?
Yes, and more than many fields, since product design management is primarily a collaborative digital role. About 29% of product design manager openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting broad adoption of distributed design workflows. Strategic and foundational work such as design critique sessions, roadmap planning, and stakeholder alignment are the parts of the role most commonly performed fully remotely.
How can I get hired as a product design manager in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving from a senior individual contributor role, such as UX designer, product designer, or design researcher, into a team lead position before pursuing a formal manager title. Virginia employers in federal consulting and technology, including large firms in the Northern Virginia corridor, often run rotational or associate design programs that develop junior talent into leads. Building a portfolio that documents design process and cross-functional collaboration, and earning a recognized UX credential, strengthens a candidate's case for that first management step.
