ADP is hiring a Lead UX Designer.
Are you inspired by transformation and making an impact on the lives of millions of people every day? Are you empathic to client needs and committed to leveraging research to create elegant, easy-to-use experiences?
If so, this may be the role for you. Ready to design what's next?
In this role, you will be a key design leader on a highly creative and intelligent team building innovative solutions for everyday workers. As our Lead UX Designer for Lyric’s Talent Management Suite of products, you will shape design direction, coach other designers, and ensure the team builds tools that our customers love.

As a Lead UX Designer, you will leverage your full range of user experience design, design systems, and service design expertise to craft and guide innovative solutions for our Talent UX team.

To thrive in this role, you should have experience influencing product direction, leading design critiques, and partnering with senior stakeholders. Integrity, resilience, and creativity are must-haves in this job. As with any role in UX design, you will have challenges that should inspire you to create something better, not weigh you down. We're looking for an IC leader with a hunger to try new things, elevate design practices, and deliver impact at scale. You'll be accountable for something significant: the uncompromising quality and usability of products that impact people's lives.

Tips for Your Staff UX Designer Job Search
Tailor your portfolio to staff-level scope
Staff-level hiring managers look for evidence you've shaped design direction across a product area, not just shipped individual screens. Annotate each case study to show your influence on cross-functional decisions and design system contributions, not just the final UI.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists staff ux designer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Read job posts for the hidden leveling signals
Many staff ux designer postings use phrases like 'lead without authority' or 'partner with product and engineering.' These signal what the team actually needs. Mirror that language in your resume summary and cover letter to show you operate at that level already.
Demonstrate systems thinking on your resume
Hiring teams at the staff level want to see that you think in components, patterns, and consistency, not one-off flows. Call out specific design system work, documentation you authored, or standards you established to separate your resume from mid-level candidates.
Prepare a critique of real products for interviews
Staff UX interviews frequently include a live critique or design exercise focused on a product the company actually competes with. Walk in ready to evaluate information architecture, interaction patterns, and accessibility tradeoffs out loud, not just visual choices.
Negotiate scope and reporting structure, not just pay
At the staff level, what you own matters as much as what you earn. During offer conversations, ask which product surfaces you'd be responsible for, who you report to, and how design decisions get made. These answers tell you whether the role matches your actual seniority.
Staff UX Designer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most staff ux designers?
The companies hiring the most staff ux designers right now include Amazon, Collabera, and Google, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Technology, healthcare, and financial services companies tend to post the most staff-level UX roles consistently.
How many staff ux designer jobs are remote?
About 73% of staff ux designer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting strong employer flexibility at this seniority level. Design systems, research operations, and content design sub-areas tend to have the highest share of fully remote roles compared to embedded product design positions.
How do you become a staff ux designer?
You typically reach the staff ux designer level by progressing from a mid-level or senior UX role and taking on work that influences design direction across a whole product area, not just individual features. Build a portfolio showing systems thinking, cross-functional leadership, and measurable product impact. Seek out projects that require you to mentor other designers, establish standards, or drive alignment with product and engineering leads.
How do you get hired as a staff ux designer with limited experience at that level?
If your title has been senior rather than staff, focus your portfolio on the kind of work staff designers do: design system contributions, cross-team design decisions, and research that shaped product strategy. Many employers care more about the scope of your work than your exact title. Applying to smaller companies or early-stage product orgs can also give you a path in, since staff designers there often operate with broader scope and less bureaucracy.
What does the staff ux designer interview process look like?
The staff ux designer interview process typically includes a portfolio review where you walk through two or three detailed case studies, a design exercise or critique done live or as a take-home, and a series of cross-functional conversations with product managers, engineers, and design leads. Later rounds often focus on your approach to ambiguity, how you influence without direct authority, and how you've contributed to design culture or systems at a team level.
Where can I find and apply to staff ux designer jobs?
You can find and apply to staff ux designer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search for roles that match your experience level, specialization, and preferred location or remote setup, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
