Position Summary
Trackforce is seeking a visionary Head of SaaS Product Design to define and lead the end-to-end design strategy for our global platform. This is a transformational leadership role responsible for elevating the entire product experience—from interface design and system architecture to usability strategy, application consolidation, and customer-driven innovation.
You will build and scale a modern design function from the ground up, embedding design deeply into product development while shaping how our platform looks, feels, and performs across web, mobile, and emerging interfaces. This role goes far beyond traditional UX—it encompasses holistic product design, including application layout and workflows, cross-product consistency, user research, design systems, data-informed usability optimization, and establishes continuous discovery.
As a key partner to Product and Engineering leadership, you will drive a cohesive, intuitive, and scalable user experience for a complex, mission-critical SaaS platform used by frontline and enterprise users worldwide.

- Embed design into every product domain — establish product trios (PM + Design + Eng Lead)
Research & Discovery
