Requisition #: 1689

Job Title: UX Lead

Location: Remote

Clearance Level: Secret, Must Have Ability to Obtain a Clearance

\nJob Description

UX Lead (Remote) supporting Agile Defense programs within the Department of War (DoW). This role guides the strategy, design direction, and team execution of user-centered design efforts, combining leadership, mentorship, and hands-on UX practice to deliver thoughtful, accessible, and mission-aligned digital solutions that support data, analytics, and AI adoption.

The UX Lead potentially leads a cross-functional team of UX practitioners and collaborates with product managers, data scientists, software engineers, and stakeholders to define vision, establish design standards, and ensure delivery excellence across the DoW.

The role operates at both strategic and tactical levels: elevating design quality, mentoring team members, and directly contributing to key research and design activities as needed. Requires a Secret/Top Secret clearance.

Education and Background

Strong background in UX and UI design with extensive experience designing end-to-end experiences for native applications. Demonstrated ability to operate as a design leader: setting UX vision and standards, mentoring practitioners, and guiding cross-functional teams through ambiguity to delivery.
Deep understanding of UX strategy and systems thinking, with experience driving user-centered design within Agile environments (SAFe or similar frameworks). Experience supporting Defense, Civilian, or National Security clients is highly relevant.
Bachelor's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Design, Human Factors, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience) preferred.

Years of Experience

Required Skills

Proven UX leadership: setting UX vision, design standards, and delivery strategy across multi-team programs
Strong UX and UI design skills with end-to-end experience designing for native applications
Systems thinking and UX strategy; ability to guide teams through ambiguity to delivery
Driving end-to-end product design — partnering with researchers to understand customer needs, defining opportunities through usability studies, and analyzing data trends
Human-centered research and discovery: stakeholder interviews, usability testing, co-creation workshops, and field research
Creating design artifacts: journey maps, wireframes, interactive prototypes, service blueprints, and UI specifications
Collaborating with development teams to ensure design implementation meets high-quality standards
Mentoring and developing UX researchers, interaction designers, and service designers
Experience in Agile environments using SAFe or similar frameworks; participation in PI planning and sprint reviews
Communicating UX value to non-design stakeholders and translating user insights into business and mission value
Commitment to accessibility and ethical research practices throughout the design lifecycle

Preferred Skills

Experience building design maturity and UX practices within large or federal organizations
Familiarity with data, analytics, and AI-driven product environments
Experience facilitating "conception through completion" of large-scale digital products alongside Engineering, web application, and UX design teams
Ability to create compelling design presentations and narratives to advocate for research findings and recommendations
Experience defining and measuring UX impact through KPIs and qualitative feedback loops
Contribution to internal design communities — sharing best practices, templates, and thought leadership

Working Conditions

Remote position. Standard sedentary work performed primarily at a computer workstation, including extended periods of screen time, keyboard/mouse use, and virtual collaboration with distributed teams and stakeholders.
No significant physical strength demands or adverse environmental conditions. Must be able to communicate effectively in virtual meetings, workshops, and presentations.
The role may require occasional work within secure environments consistent with the Secret/Top Secret clearance requirement.

$125,000 - $180,000 a year
