Sr UX Product Designer

Job Description:
Technology plays a critical role in bringing stories to life across The Walt Disney Studios. The Studio Technology Design team partners with filmmakers, artists, production teams, and technologists to create enterprise software that powers every stage of the filmmaking process. We design thoughtful, intuitive products that simplify complex workflows, enable creativity, and help teams do their best work.
Our team is made up of Product Designers and Visual Designers who care deeply about design craft, systems thinking, storytelling, and collaboration. We believe enterprise software should be as intuitive, polished, and inspiring as the creative work it supports.
The Studio Technology Design team is seeking a Senior Product Designer to help shape the next generation of internal tools that power filmmaking across The Walt Disney Studios. You’ll work across a portfolio of enterprise products used by artists, production teams, and studio operations, partnering closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and stakeholders to solve complex workflow challenges.
As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll independently lead projects from discovery through delivery, applying systems thinking, strong UX craft, and exceptional visual design skills to create intuitive, scalable experiences. You’ll contribute to our design system, influence product direction, and help raise the quality bar across our design practice.
The right person for this role is curious, collaborative, and comfortable navigating ambiguity. You enjoy simplifying complex problems, communicating ideas through compelling storytelling, and embracing emerging technologies, including AI, to improve both the products we build and the way we design them.
Bachelor’s degree in Product Design, UX Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, Visual Design, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
This role is based in our Glendale, CA office and follows a hybrid work model. Team members are expected to work on-site 3–4 days per week. Remote candidates are not eligible for this position.
CV and portfolio are required. Your portfolio may be submitted as a public or password-protected website, or as a file attached to your application. Regardless of format, a portfolio is required for consideration.
We are seeking candidates with a strong background in product design and UX/UI. Experience primarily focused on marketing or campaign design, brand design, illustration, or industrial product design will not be considered sufficient on its own. These disciplines may complement a product design portfolio but should not represent the candidate’s primary experience.
We are looking for designers with experience designing enterprise, desktop-first web applications. Candidates whose portfolios are primarily focused on consumer mobile applications are unlikely to be a strong fit for this role.
We value designers with strong visual design skills who can create polished, thoughtful interfaces while maintaining consistency across products through scalable design systems. A high level of attention to typography, layout, hierarchy, interaction design, and overall craft is expected.
The institution from which a candidate received their degree or certifications will not influence our evaluation process. We evaluate candidates based on their portfolio, design thinking, problem-solving ability, and overall product design craft.
Experience using AI-assisted prototyping and development tools (such as Claude, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate design exploration, prototyping, and iteration is considered a plus.
Design at The Walt Disney Studios is about more than making products functional—it’s about making work itself more meaningful. We’re building a unified design language that transforms how people across the company experience tools, data, and collaboration.
Here, you’ll:
This is a chance to take on big, complex problems and design solutions that will define how people connect with technology to fuel boundless storytelling.
The hiring range for this position in Glendale is $ $129,300.00 - $159,000.00 per year. The base pay actually offered will take into account internal equity and also may vary depending on the candidate’s geographic region, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience among other factors. A bonus and/or long-term incentive units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to the full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the level and position offered.
