Senior UX Manager

SecurityScorecard is looking for a stellar, empathetic, and results-oriented Senior UX Manager who leads people the way great designers craft products: with intention, empathy, and an uncompromising results orientation. This is a player-coach role for someone who has mastered the senior IC craft — end-to-end product design, design systems, accessibility-first execution, AI-native workflows — and is now ready to multiply that excellence through a team.

You’ll own team health, design velocity, and process — including running Agile scrum ceremonies that keep design planned, visible, and delivered on cadence with Product and Engineering. You’ll spearhead the operating system of the design organization: structured workflows, transparent tracking, a governed Design System, and a feedback culture where critique is direct, kind, and elevating in both directions.

We’re looking for someone human-led and empathy-driven who is also relentlessly accountable to outcomes — an excellent feedback giver and taker who brings their best self, meets people where they are, and moves the whole team in the same direction. You’ve done the work you’ll be managing. Now you’ll set the standard — and bring others up with you.

People Leadership & Team Health: Directly manage a team of designers at a healthy span of control. Conduct meaningful 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations. Lead with empathy, own team morale and retention with measurable targets, and cultivate a culture of transparency where every designer knows where they stand and where they’re headed.

Agile Design Process Leadership: Run and continuously improve Agile ceremonies for the design team — sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, and design reviews. Integrate design seamlessly into scrum cycles alongside Product and Engineering, ensuring design work is planned, visible, estimated, and delivered on cadence — never a bottleneck, never a black box.

Hands-On Design Excellence: Stay close to the craft. You can own a feature end-to-end when needed — from discovery and wireframes through high-fidelity UI and production handoff — and you review, critique, and elevate the team’s output daily. Your feedback raises the bar; your example sets it.

Stakeholder Management & Cross-Functional Partnership: Serve as the primary design liaison to Product Management, Engineering, and business stakeholders. Translate between design intent and business priorities fluently. Participate in roadmap planning, negotiate scope with clarity and directness, and build the cross-functional trust that makes design a strategic partner — not a service desk.

Research & Data Integration: Ensure the team synthesizes usability testing and behavioral analytics (FullStory, Pendo) into design iterations. Partner with UX Research to translate findings into personas, journey maps, and design decisions grounded in evidence — not opinion.

AI-Native Team Enablement: Champion AI-augmented design workflows across the team — Figma AI, Claude, and emerging tooling — to compress design cycles without sacrificing quality. Set adoption goals, share best practices, and model an AI-by-Design mindset.

Talent Development & Feedback Culture: Build professional growth plans for every direct report with clear markers for success. Give feedback that is direct, kind, and actionable — and receive it the same way. Stretch senior designers toward promotion and expanded scope, and make this team known as a place where great designers grow.

Lead and Still Create: This is a player-coach role. You’ll shape people, process, and culture — while staying close enough to the craft that your design instincts stay sharp.

Define the Operating System: You’re not inheriting a process — you’re building it. The agile design motion, the JIRA-for-Design mechanism, the feedback culture: yours to spearhead.

Direct Strategic Access: You report directly to the SVP, Experience Strategy & Product Design and serve as the operational partner translating strategy into daily execution.

A Team Built to Win: You’ll work alongside a UX Architect, UX Researcher, and senior designers — a deliberately constructed team where every role raises the others.

Values-Led Culture: We set the standard high, bring others up with us, lead with transparency and empathy, and stay direct. If you lead that way — this is your team.
