About the role
- CPOMS is looking for a Senior Product Designer to support our growing Raptor team as we evolve and expand our K–12 safety and school operations platform. You’ll work across several high-impact products, including StudentSafe, VisitorSafe, Emergency Management, and SmartPass, used by over 60,000 US schools nationwide.
- You’ll be responsible for leading design efforts across 1–2 product areas at a time—diving deep into user needs, shaping product direction, and driving end-to-end execution. We’re looking for a senior designer who can bring strong systems thinking, product intuition, and visual craft + someone who’s equally comfortable generating ideas from scratch and pushing existing designs to a higher bar.
- What You’ll Work On
- Student & staff safety tools – Design features across products like StudentSafe, VisitorSafe, and Emergency Management that help schools respond quickly and manage everyday safety needs.
- Product leadership – Drive the design process for your features (from research to specs to QA), partnering closely with PMs and engineers to develop great work.
- Design systems & consistency – Work within and evolve our shared design system to ensure quality and consistency across the platform.
- Multiple workstreams – Operate autonomously across multiple initiatives, bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to your work.
- What We’re Looking For
- Demonstrable experience designing digital products, preferably in SaaS, enterprise, or multi-user systems.
- A strong track record of owning and developing product features end-to-end—across research, strategy, wireframes, specs, and final polish.
- Excellent interaction and UX design skills—able to simplify complex problems and edge cases for diverse user roles.
- Strong visual and UI craft, with attention to detail and consistency.
- Experience working within and contributing to a design system.
- Strong communication skills—you can articulate your thinking clearly, write design specs, and negotiate trade-offs in cross-functional discussions.
- Able to work independently, manage your time across multiple workstreams, and lead small to medium-sized projects without much oversight.
- Advantageous: experience working in education, safety, or other complex, real-world systems.
- Why you might be excited about us
- Design products that directly impact student safety and day-to-day school operations.
- Work on a platform used by millions of students and staff across 60,000+ US schools.
- Work on meaningful products that improve student safety and school operations.
- Collaborate with an awesome, high-craft design team that values quality and creativity.
- Gain experience working on products at all stages of maturity, from early 0→1 initiatives to established flagship products with over a decade of evolution.
- Play a key role in elevating design quality across multiple tools in the K-12 space.
- Why you might not be excited about us
- Things are messy (in a good way). Raptor is a 400+ person company made up of 6 and counting acquisitions—and bringing all our products together into a single safety suite. We’ve made great progress (shared login, unified navigation, a cross-product design system), but there’s still a lot of cleanup and stitching to do.
- Not everything feels modern (yet). Some of our tools have been around for a while and weren’t designed with today’s design standards in mind. They’re functional and trusted by schools—but there’s plenty of room to improve the experience, bring consistency, and raise the bar.
- We’re not a hype-y AI company. We’re absolutely leaning into AI where it makes sense—things like visualization of student behavior patterns across a school, district or state or reducing admin overhead—but we’re not building generative playgrounds. Our focus is on solving urgent, unsexy problems that schools desperately need help with.
- We’re still scrappy. Our eng/product/design org is ~130 people, and design is a team of 7. You’ll do research, push pixels, write specs, and shape product alongside your PM and engineers. If you’re looking for heavy layers of process or lots of design-only time, this might not be the right fit.
