WHO WE ARE:
Teague is an independent design consultancy that combines technology expertise with a deep understanding of human behavior to design what’s next for companies in automotive, commercial aviation, smart cities and infrastructure, advanced mobility, technology, space, and defense. On any given day, you might be prototyping a new space station, designing cutting-edge technology for off-road vehicles, or traveling around the world conducting research with airline passengers. We are approaching our one-hundred-year anniversary and are proudly employee-owned. Our culture fosters collaboration, accountability, and stability—because when we succeed, we all win. Come be a part of something bigger than just a job—build your career with an employee-owned company that invests in you! ABOUT THE ROLE:
As a Design Director on Teague’s UX team, you lead the creation of complex, information-rich software experiences, helping clients navigate ambiguity to define clear, usable products. Working at the intersection of UX, product strategy, and systems thinking, you guide teams through early-stage problem framing, research, and design for enterprise and mission-critical tools. You provide hands-on leadership across projects, facilitating workshops, aligning stakeholders, and elevating team output through strong critique and direction. You also contribute to business growth and mentor designers, maintaining a high bar for craft, collaboration, and impact. TRAVEL EXPECTATIONS:
Travel expectations vary by project and client needs, typically averaging around 15–20% and including occasional short domestic trips for workshops, research, and key meetings. At times, this may involve multi-day or week-long onsite engagements during critical phases, with flexibility required as travel cadence can shift based on project demands.
You are a design leader who thrives in complexity—comfortable guiding multiple engagements at once while maintaining a sharp focus on quality, clarity, and impact. You bring a strong point of view grounded in user needs, technical realities, and business goals, and you know how to translate that into thoughtful, well-crafted experiences. You’re as skilled in shaping strategy as you are in guiding execution, leading teams through ambiguity with confidence and providing clear, actionable critique that elevates the work. You’re energized by collaboration, partnering closely with cross-functional teams and clients to align around a shared vision and move ideas forward. You’re also a strong communicator and storyteller, able to frame complex ideas in ways that are compelling, persuasive, and easy to understand. You lead by example—mentoring designers, fostering a culture of curiosity and continuous learning, and helping others grow into stronger practitioners and leaders. You’re comfortable stepping into business development conversations, shaping proposals, and representing the work with credibility and passion. Above all, you care deeply about craft, team success, and delivering meaningful, high-impact design solutions. WHAT YOU’LL DO:
