Product Designer, Ordering

Afresh Technologies is an AI-powered platform company serving the grocery retail and distribution industry. The company develops decision-making software that helps retailers and distributors manage fresh food departments more efficiently by turning large volumes of operational data into actionable recommendations for ordering, inventory, production planning, and buying. Its platform covers a broad range of fresh categories including produce, meat, seafood, deli, and bakery, and is designed to address the inherent complexity of fresh food supply chains such as fluctuating assortments, random-weight products, multiple vendor relationships, and perishability. Afresh's mission is closely tied to sustainability and food waste reduction. By helping grocers order and produce more precisely, the platform directly reduces food shrink — the industry term for unsold or spoiled product — which is a significant contributor to food waste globally. The company has reported that its technology helps retailers avoid millions of pounds of food waste annually, positioning Afresh as a meaningful participant in the climate and food systems space. What distinguishes Afresh is its fresh-first data foundation, built specifically to model the unique characteristics of perishable grocery operations rather than adapting general retail or supply chain software. The platform incorporates AI agents that not only generate recommendations but also automate routine workflows and escalate decisions to human teams when judgment is required, enabling faster and more confident action across store and distribution center operations.

About the Role

As the Product Designer for the Ordering team, you'll own the end-to-end experience for a web application used by corporate users who own the grocery replenishment function across tens of thousands of departments nationwide. You'll turn complex AI-driven forecasts into decisions these operators can act on with confidence. You'll work closely with product management, machine learning engineers, and mobile and full-stack engineers to create a holistic end-to-end experience. Your ownership, attention to detail, and your focus on outcomes will directly result in less food waste and real business value.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end design for a web application for corporate users who own the grocery replenishment function, spanning ordering, exceptions, configuration, and performance.
• Design reporting, insights, and performance dashboards, from table stakes today toward conversational, AI-powered analytics.
• Design exception-based workflows and controls (ordering, display size, configuration, order policy tuning) that let corporate users manage operations without technical depth.
• Shape agentic and conversational experiences that surface AI-powered insights to less-technical customers.
• Own shared portal services UX (admin, permissions, authorization, multi-role) that no single team owns today.
• Build reusable components and keep UX consistent across portal surfaces.
• Ship quickly with the Ordering product and engineering teams using modern AI-assisted tools, and partner with design leadership on cross-product coherence.

Skills and Experience

The following represent the skills and experience our ideal candidate possesses. We encourage all highly-qualified candidates to apply, even if they do not fulfill all the listed criteria.

 

• Senior-level product design experience shipping customer-facing software with measurable outcomes.
• Deep enterprise SaaS experience, navigating complex systems and multiple tiers of users.
• Product-minded with engineering overlap, comfortable building directly in code rather than handing off static mockups. We think of this as a "design-focused PM or product-focused designer with engineering depth."
• Strong systems thinking: reusable patterns and coherent navigation across products and surfaces.
• Comfort with modern, AI-assisted tooling for exploration, prototyping, and synthesis. Experience with rapidly creating prototypes using generative coding tools.
• Excellent communication and collaboration across product, engineering, and design.

Nice-To-Haves

• Experience designing for AI-powered products: conversational interfaces, anomaly detection, and agentic workflows.
• Experience designing multi-role, permissions-based, or hierarchical enterprise experiences.
