Job description

Jama Software® is focused on maximizing innovation success in multidisciplinary engineering organizations. Numerous firsts for humanity in fields such as fuel cells, electrification, space, software-defined vehicles, surgical robotics, and more all rely on Jama Connect® requirements management software to minimize the risk of defects, rework, cost overruns, and recalls. Using Jama Connect, engineering organizations can now intelligently manage the development process by leveraging Live Traceability™ across best-of-breed tools to measurably improve outcomes. Our rapidly growing customer base spans the automotive, medical device, life sciences, semiconductor, aerospace & defense, industrial manufacturing, consumer electronics, financial services, and insurance industries.

We’re looking for a Product Designer who’s eager to take ownership of their work, actively seek feedback, and contribute to strategic product decisions. In this role, you’ll collaborate across multiple roadmap teams, working closely with product managers to align on priorities, scope, and future planning. You'll focus on delivering iterative design solutions that balance reduced scope with high impact, ensuring value at every stage. A strong understanding of our design system is key, as you'll help maintain cohesion across products and suggest improvements where needed. You’ll also deepen your understanding of customer needs through regular interactions with both internal teams and external users.

What You'll Do:

Support multiple development teams to create elegant and usable solutions across the roadmap
Participate and lead design research efforts to understand problems or surface opportunities for our customers

Create, run, and analyze usability tests on the existing product or high-fidelity designs and prototypes

What You'll Bring:

2-5 years of UX design experience that includes business software application products. Brand or consumer product design alone is not sufficient.

Existing experience working cross functionally with Product and Engineering teams
A strong understanding and application of UX design principles
High proficiency with design tools and software to produce user flows, concepts, prototypes, and other design deliverables. Comfortable with products like Figma, Jira, Pendo, etc.

Attention to detail and well-developed problem-solving skills
A portfolio of work that demonstrates UX design principles in action
