About the role
- Set the strategic UX direction for Back Office as a platform, ensuring our accounting, payroll, inventory, food cost, and AP modules feel like a cohesive product—not disconnected tools.
- Think holistically about the product vision: envision how different modules connect, where data flows between systems, and how users move across workflows to run their entire restaurant operation.
- Evolve and scale our design system to handle enterprise complexity: establish patterns for multi-location hierarchies, role-based permissions, bulk operations, complex data tables, and integration states.
- Partner with product and engineering leadership to shape product strategy and roadmap, bringing design thinking to decisions about how we expand our platform and serve enterprise customers.
- Identify systemic design challenges across the platform: inconsistent navigation patterns, duplicative workflows, gaps in the information architecture, and propose scalable solutions.
- Establish design standards and best practices for enterprise B2B software that our team can apply across modules: how we handle errors, design for different user roles, present financial data, and guide users through complex workflows.
- Drive clarity when product direction is ambiguous: independently frame problems about how modules should interconnect, define what "platform thinking" means for Back Office, and create alignment across teams.
- Lead cross-functional initiatives that span multiple product areas: designing for multilocation rollups, creating unified reporting across modules, or establishing how integrations should surface in the product.
- Use data and research at scale to understand patterns across different restaurant segments (single-unit, franchise, enterprise), user roles (owner, accountant, manager), and use cases.
- Improve design system documentation and governance, making it easy for designers and engineers to build consistently and efficiently across our growing product.
- Influence outcomes beyond your direct work: raise design quality across all modules, improve collaboration between design and engineering, and establish processes that scale as the team grows.
- Develop and mentor senior designers, helping them think more strategically about enterprise software, systems design, and how to balance user needs with technical complexity.
- Represent design in strategic discussions with product, engineering, and business leadership—advocating for coherent user experiences and long-term design quality as we scale.
- Anticipate technical and organizational challenges in enterprise software: multitenancy, data migration, permission models, integration failures—and address them proactively through design.
- Collaborate across the broader BEP product ecosystem, identifying opportunities to create consistency or share components across Back Office and other platform products.
Requirements
- 8+ years of product design experience with demonstrated progression from individual contributor work to strategic design leadership in B2B or enterprise software.
- Portfolio demonstrating staff-level impact: design systems scaled across complex products, strategic initiatives that improved platform coherence, and organizational influence beyond individual features.
- Deep expertise in enterprise software design with proven track record thinking about products as platforms, not just collections of features.
- Systems thinking: exceptional ability to understand how different parts of a product ecosystem connect and design experiences that make complexity feel manageable.
- Experience designing for financial software, operational tools, ERP systems, or other enterprise applications where data accuracy and workflow efficiency are critical.
- Proven ability to evolve design systems for enterprise complexity: multi-tenancy, role-based access, bulk operations, complex data patterns, and integration states.
- Strategic thinking and business acumen: understanding of how design decisions impact adoption, retention, operational efficiency, and enterprise sales cycles.
- Strong leadership in ambiguous environments: able to envision product direction when strategy is unclear and create alignment across product, engineering, and business teams.
- Experience designing for multiple interconnected modules or products, thinking about information architecture at a platform level.
- Track record of developing other designers and raising design capabilities across a team, particularly in enterprise or B2B contexts.
- Excellence in communication and influence: ability to partner with engineering and product leadership on technical architecture decisions and their UX implications.
- Data-driven decision making: expertise using research, analytics, and user feedback to inform strategic choices about platform direction.
- Experience working in startup or high-growth B2B SaaS environments where you shaped not just what gets designed, but how design operates.
- Understanding of enterprise software technical constraints: APIs, data models, multitenant architecture, permissions systems, and how they impact user experience.
Benefits
- Great benefits from day one. We offer medical, dental, vision, FSA, company-paid life insurance, and more—plus a 401(k) with company match.
- Grow with us. Enjoy strong training, development, and competitive pay.
- Work-life balance. Our flexible PTO policy lets you take time when you need it—no accrual required.
