Senior Manager of UX Design

SupplyHouse is an industry-leading e-commerce company specializing in HVAC, plumbing, heating, and electrical supplies. The Senior Manager of UX Design will lead and grow a UX design team, establish research-informed design practices, represent UX in executive discussions, and align design initiatives with customer impact and measurable business outcomes.

Responsibilities:

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of UX designers, setting standards for craft, rigor, and consistency across projects
• Establish and enforce a research-informed design process: every major design decision should trace back to a customer insight, usability finding, or behavioral data point
• Partner closely with Customer Research to translate findings (usability testing, surveys, session data, voice-of-customer) into actionable design direction
• Own UX best practices and design standards across the org, including accessibility, information architecture, and interaction design patterns for our e-commerce and app experiences
• Represent UX work and rationale directly to executive and senior leadership, translating design decisions into business terms (conversion, retention, engagement)
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Merchandising, and IT to ensure design solutions align with broader marketing and product strategy
• Build a repeatable framework for prioritizing UX initiatives based on customer impact and business value
• Manage stakeholder expectations and timelines across multiple concurrent design workstreams
• Champion the thoughtful integration of AI-driven tools and solutions within the UX team, identifying opportunities to enhance design workflows and drive innovation across the customer journey

Requirements:

• • Bachelor's degree in Marketing or a related field
• • 10+ years of UX leadership experience, including 2+ years directly managing designers
• • Demonstrated experience designing direct-to-consumer e-commerce experiences, with hands-on ownership of conversion outcomes (e.g.: conversion rate, average order value, revenue per visitor, or cart completion)
• • Demonstrated track record of using customer research (qualitative and quantitative) to drive design decisions, not just aesthetic execution
• • Strong portfolio showing end-to-end ownership: research input, design rationale, and measurable outcome
• • Experience presenting design work and strategy to executive stakeholders, comfortable defending decisions with data and reasoning
• • Fluency with modern design and prototyping tools (e.g.: Figma)
• • Excellent communication skills, able to flex between detailed design critique with the team and strategic framing with leadership

• • Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the U.S. on a full-time basis. SupplyHouse.com will not sponsor applicants for work visas

• • Familiarity with analytics platforms (e.g.: Amplitude or similar)
