Senior Product Designer

At Tive, we imagine a fully-transparent world in which everything and everyone is connected. We innovate beyond what the world thought possible-so what people hold near and dear arrives on time and in full.

We believe (and live!) four core values:

• Transparency First: We make everything visible so that everyone can operate better
• Always strive to make things simpler
• We are One Team, we have each other's backs
• Relentless iteration to optimize and improve

Whether shipped by road, rail, ocean, or air, Tive reduces shipment delays, minimizes rejected loads, and decreases theft, damage, and spoilage. Our customers count on Tive to ensure that their shipments are delivered on time and in full-because every shipment matters.

About the role:

Tive is a logistics intelligence platform used by global supply chain teams to track shipments in real time - monitoring location, condition, and exceptions across millions of transit events. The problems we work on are genuinely hard: complex workflows, dense data, fast-moving operational contexts, and several different user personas who depend on this product to make critical decisions.

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to lead design across a newly formed team at Tive. You will have the opportunity to create completely new product experiences and connect them to our existing platform. This isn't a polish role; it's a systems and craft role.

How design works at Tive

Designers are embedded directly in product teams - not handed specs, and not handed off finished work. We share early and often. We expect designers to frame problems, not just solve them. Design has a real voice in product direction, and that comes with accountability for outcomes. We value clarity and simplicity over completeness, and iteration over waiting for the perfect solution.

What you'll be doing:

• Lead design end-to-end for complex platform areas, from early problem framing through production.
• Design for multi-stakeholder workflows, critical reporting use cases, data-heavy surfaces: alerts, timelines, dashboards, automations, and configuration flows.
• Drive design decisions using sketches, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes - you'll use your judgement on whatever fidelity the problem calls for.
• Define and lead user research studies to surface insight, validate direction, and build shared understanding with the team.
• Partner with your PM to shape problem definitions, scope, and project timelines - not just execute them.
• Contribute to and evolve Tive's design system: components, patterns, guidelines, and accessibility standards.
• Apply systems thinking to create reusable, scalable patterns across the platform.
• Work directly with engineers to ensure designs are feasible, accessible, and production-ready.
• Actively participate in UX team design reviews and cross-functional critiques, contributing to levelling up design culture at Tive.

Our ideal candidate has:

• 5+ years of product design experience on complex digital products.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product thinking, strong UX fundamentals, and high-quality execution.
• Experience designing for B2B, SaaS, enterprise, or data-rich platforms.
• Proven ability to own design problems independently while collaborating closely with cross-functional partners.
• Proficiency in Figma, FigJam, and AI tools for prototyping and research.
• Strong written and verbal communication - able to articulate decisions and tradeoffs clearly.

• Experience contributing to or owning a design system.
• Comfort with data visualization, dashboards, and workflow-driven interfaces.
• Familiarity with front-end constraints - you know enough to have a productive technical conversation.
• We are currently looking for candidates who are located in the Eastern Time Zone

What we're not looking for

Someone who needs a fully defined problem to start working. This role requires comfort with ambiguity, the ability to set direction, and the judgment to know when to go deep versus move fast.

What does Tive offer?

• A chance to join what may very well turn out to be the most important company in your career.
• The autonomy and resources to build what you know how to build.
• Work with a committed global team that have each others back.
• Office-based or hybrid options. Your choice.
• Competitive equity to ensure all of our employees have a sense of ownership in the long-term success of Tive's growth.

We celebrate diversity, and consider it key to our success as both a team and a company. We are proud to be an equal-opportunity employer, and we are committed to creating an inclusive environment of mutual respect for all employees.
