About Creative Realities

Creative Realities, Inc. (www.cri.com, NASDAQ: CREX) is a creative technology company focusing on bringing digital experiences to retail environments, designed to enrich and inspire the consumer journey. Our strong design and strategic discipline uniquely position us to guide Fortune 100 Brands and Retailers on how best to apply technology in function of marketing, store, or customer objectives. Our end-to-end offering enables us to execute what we recommend: from design and app development, thought to deployment on site - and provide ongoing content and support to virtually any type of environment.

About the Position

As the foundational Senior Product Designer at Creative Realities, you will own the user experience for our next-generation, unified enterprise digital signage management platform. This is an exciting opportunity to design a unified software suite that simplifies complex orchestration into intuitive, high-impact workflows, directly influencing how our support teams and global clients drive value from their networks, and playing a critical role in CRI’s broader monetization and platform integration strategy.

You will operate at the intersection of design, product strategy, and technology. You will serve as a critical strategic partner to Product Management and Engineering, bringing a focus on CX and usability best practices to the core of our software development practices. You will own the entire lifecycle - includes creating modern interaction patterns, designing multi-step workflows, architecting design systems, and producing end-to-end UX deliverables—from research and wireframing to high-fidelity prototypes to architecting a scalable, enterprise-grade design system that empowers our engineering teams to scale efficiently.

In this role, you must possess a strong natural orientation for transforming sophisticated enterprise behaviors—such as device orchestration, multi-location hierarchies, advanced scheduling, metadata governance, and real-time analytics—into clear, frictionless, operator-friendly interfaces. To thrive, you will leverage a dual-approach to innovation: both pioneering AI-driven features that streamline user productivity within the product and utilizing AI-augmented design workflows to accelerate prototyping and drive exceptional outcomes across our Product and Engineering organization.

This is a senior individual contributor role for a builder who wants to shape the design foundation for a flagship enterprise platform. This position reports directly to the VP of Product Management.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a seasoned, systems-thinking Senior Product Designer who thrives on turning enterprise complexity into elegant, frictionless user experiences. You don't just design screens; you fundamentally understand how data, workflows, and business logic intersect to drive real-world value through enterprise tools.

As our primary product designer, you bring a practical, outcomes-oriented approach to your craft, taking a high degree of ownership and accountability over the entire design lifecycle. You excel at navigating cross-functional partnerships, collaborating as a peer with Product Management and Engineering to balance user needs with technical feasibility, and are adept at communicating design decisions clearly. Highly proficient in modern design workflows, you possess a deep curiosity for AI-augmented prototyping tools, cutting edge approaches to design systems which enable engineering efficiency, and a strong desire to design intelligent, AI-driven product features that make end-users more productive. Exposure to digital signage management is preferred but not required.
