Senior Principal User Experience Designer

Oracle Applications Labs (OAL) powers the technology that runs Oracle—from CX and HCM to ERP and Datacenter—driving the design, development, and enhancement of nearly all of Oracle’s most critical Enterprise Applications. As OAL, we don’t just support the business; we serve as Oracle’s own testing ground for innovation, rapidly building and refining solutions to meet real-world needs. Our design-led, customer-first approach ensures that the innovations we pioneer are both intuitive and impactful—often shaping the future of Oracle products themselves.

In this senior individual contributor role, you will lead the creation of seamless, user-centered experiences for our datacenter and other high-priority enterprise applications, partnering closely with product management, engineering, and customers. You’ll play a hands-on part in shaping solutions that exemplify excellence, helping OAL set the standard for enterprise software experiences Oracle employees depend on every day.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design of user experiences for Oracle’s datacenter and high-priority applications—ensuring solutions are intuitive, innovative, and grounded in real user needs.
• Serve as a hands-on advocate for design-led thinking, driving clarity and simplicity across complex workflows in CX, ERP, HCM, and Oracle Health.
• Own the end-to-end design process from discovery, definition, and design through to delivery—ensuring a seamless and user-focused outcome at every stage.
• Partner closely with Product Management, Engineering, and customers from day one—collaborating side-by-side to refine goals, define requirements, and deliver meaningful impact.
• Drive user research, usability testing, and in-depth interviews to uncover user goals, pain points, and behaviors—translating insights into actionable design concepts.
• Rapidly create and iterate on concepts and prototypes, validating each step with both end users and internal stakeholders to ensure solutions are valuable and feasible.
• Deliver a spectrum of design artifacts—including user flows, wireframes, storyboards, and high-fidelity prototypes—that clearly express the design vision and guide implementation.
• Leverage Redwood (https://redwood.oracle.com/), Oracle’s unified design system, to promote consistency and scalability across all touchpoints—collaborating effectively with diverse, global teams throughout the product lifecycle. 

Requirements

• Advanced working knowledge of Figma.

• Self-motivated and proactive with a strong sense of ownership.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to lead design discussions and use storytelling to convey design intent.
• Hands-on experience with user-centered design methodologies, such as field studies, usability tests, expert reviews, and surveys.
