Own the design vision and interaction architecture for a product area: setting direction, defining patterns, and ensuring coherence across features, releases, and teams.
Lead end-to-end design from ambiguous problem spaces through shipped outcomes. You frame the problem, align stakeholders, design the solution, and measure whether it worked.
Solve complex, cross-functional product challenges with strategic foresight. You see the second-order effects of design decisions and plan for them.
Partner with Product and Engineering leadership as a strategic equal, influencing roadmap direction, investment priorities, and architectural trade-offs.
Drive design quality and consistency across your product area through critique, reviews, and direct contribution. You hold the bar and raise it.
Lead design collaboration across teams, connecting your product area's patterns to the global design system and to adjacent product surfaces.
Mentor senior and mid-level designers. You shape how they think about problems, not just how they execute solutions.
Bridge product strategy and design investment. You translate business goals into design direction and advocate for design-informed decisions at the organizational level.
What You likely to Bring
8+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates strategic thinking, systems-level craft, and shipped impact in enterprise or B2B SaaS.
Proven ability to own design direction for a product area: setting vision, making trade-offs, and aligning cross-functional stakeholders around a design point of view.
Mastery of complex enterprise interaction design: systems of workflows, data-dense operational interfaces, role-based experiences, and cross-product patterns.
Strong Figma proficiency and deep fluency with design systems: not just using components, but understanding token architecture, governance, and how systems scale across frameworks.
Strategic communication. You influence cross-functional direction, present to senior leadership, and your design rationale holds up under organizational scrutiny.
A track record of elevating teams: through mentorship, quality standards, and leading by example in how you frame problems and hold craft accountable.
What Could Set You Apart
At this level, strong craft, systems thinking, and user empathy are assumed. What separates candidates is the depth of their perspective on where design is going, and their willingness to move there before the industry catches up.
Hands-on practice with vibe coding or agent-assisted development at a level where you can build functional prototypes, validate ideas in code, and demonstrate concepts that would otherwise take weeks to spec and hand off. You use these tools to think, not just to produce.
A pragmatic, experimental disposition. You ship to learn. You fail fast and extract signal from failure. You don't wait for organizational permission to test an idea, and you create the conditions for your team to do the same.

Additional Information
Epicor serves industries where the software is the operation: manufacturing execution, warehouse fulfillment, supply chain orchestration, retail management. The design problems at this level aren't about individual screens. They're about systems of workflows, cross-product consistency, and making complex operational software feel intelligent and inevitable.
As a Principal Product Designer , you operate semi-autonomously across cross-functional efforts. You shape product strategy through design, not just execute on it. You set the interaction patterns and quality standards for a product area, influence organizational decisions, and raise the ceiling for what the design team can do. You're expected to solve problems that don't have clear briefs and to connect your product area's design direction to the broader platform.
