Senior Product Designer

Senior Product Designer


Category: Software Development/ Engineering

Main location: United States, Virginia, Fairfax

Position ID:J0626-0188


Employment Type: Full Time


Position Description:


CGI is seeking a Senior Product Designer to help modernize a complex federal compliance and enforcement system that supports high-stakes regulatory, review, enforcement, records, and operational workflows. This is a systems-design role for someone who can turn legacy processes, dense information, policy constraints, and stakeholder input into clear, usable, accessible digital experiences.
You will work across workflow modernization efforts: mapping current-state processes, identifying friction and risk, designing future-state flows, testing design directions, and creating clear artifacts that help teams align, validate, and deliver. This is a strong opportunity for a designer who enjoys systems thinking, high-impact public-sector work, and close collaboration with product managers, business analysts, engineers, researchers, subject-matter experts, and federal stakeholders.
This position is located in our Fairfax, VA, Knoxville, TN or Lafayette, LA office; however, a hybrid working model is acceptable.

Your future duties and responsibilities:


Your future duties and responsibilities:
As a Senior Product Designer, you will:
. Create and contribute to user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and interface patterns for complex federal enterprise applications.
. Translate policy, operational, and technical requirements into usable end-to-end experiences.
. Design and lead interactive stakeholder workshops to support requirement gathering and validation.
. Synthesize research, stakeholder input, and legacy-system constraints into clear design direction.
. Create design artifacts at the right level of fidelity for the task: sketches, flows, wireframes, prototypes, specs, annotations, and component documentation.
. Partner with developers to ensure design intent, interaction behavior, accessibility, and edge cases are clearly understood throughout delivery.
. Apply and extend USWDS guidance while adapting it for dense, workflow-heavy application needs.
. Identify gaps, propose improvements, and take initiative without waiting to be told exactly what to do.
. Help organize design files, design system documentation, and reusable patterns so the team can move faster over time.
Required qualifications to be successful in this role:
We are looking for an experienced designer who is curious, highly organized, and comfortable working in a complex domain. You should be able to go deep on details while still seeing the larger product and system strategy.
You may be a great fit if you:
. Get energized by complicated systems and want to understand how all the pieces fit together.
. Can take a vague problem, ask smart questions, map the moving parts, and propose a practical path forward.
. Enjoy building reusable patterns instead of solving the same problem differently every time.
. Care about details like spacing, hierarchy, states, interactions, edge cases, and developer handoff.
. Are comfortable saying, "I found a better way to organize this," and then showing the team how.
. Can work quickly without being sloppy.
. Are thoughtful, reliable, curious, and willing to dig into unfamiliar subject matter.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:


. 5+ years of experience designing and delivering software products as part of cross-functional teams.
. Strong portfolio showing end-to-end UX/product design work, especially for complex applications, enterprise software, SaaS, government systems, internal tools, or workflow-heavy products.
. Advanced Figma skills, including components, variants, variables, auto layout, prototyping, and design system file organization.
. Experience designing with or contributing to a design system, component library, style guide, or pattern library.
. Strong understanding of user-centered design methods, including research synthesis, user flows, information architecture, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing.
. Ability to design for complex data, forms, tables, filters, statuses, dashboards, permissions, and multi-step workflows.
. Ability to work independently, manage ambiguity, and make thoughtful progress without constant direction.
. Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain design rationale to product, engineering, leadership, and client
Desired qualifications/non-essential skills required:
Strongly Preferred
. Experience with USWDS or other government/public-sector design systems.
. Experience designing federal, civic-tech, regulatory, compliance, case management, or enterprise operations systems.
. Experience creating design system documentation for both designers and developers.
. Familiarity with Agile delivery, Jira, Confluence, and collaborative product development workflows.
. Comfort working with business analysts, SMEs, and stakeholders in complex policy or regulatory environments.
. Ability to think structurally about objects, records, workflows, permissions, statuses, and reusable patterns.
. Experience designing accessible, responsive web applications for users with varied technical skill levels.
