As a BCorp, we foster a forward-thinking, inclusive culture where innovation thrives, and every practitioner has a voice.

We’re looking for an Experience Designer to join our thriving team in the centre of Brighton. You’ll play a pivotal role in creating amazing digital experiences as the products and services we create with our clients, utilising and integrating AI into our workflows; not to replace our efforts, but to elevate them. We’re always looking for diverse, fresh thinking paired with growth mindsets, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace.

If you’re a designer who is always experimenting with the latest tools and methodologies, and has a passion for delivering cutting-edge, innovative experiences then we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll bring:

• You’re a self-described design generalist: you’re as happy in Figma as you are when mapping an end-to-end product experience.

• You love interviewing users and stakeholders to understand the hidden and implicit needs and challenges they’re facing.
• You’re able to facilitate workshops and achieve intended outcomes by digging into a trust bag of activities & exercises.
• You thrive in ambiguity, where you translate complex requirements into modern, accessible and delightful experiences for users.
• You understand the importance of interaction design, and use prototyping to communicate nuanced design decisions to stakeholders and colleagues.
• You’re used to working in multidisciplinary, cross-functional teams of design, engineering and project management.

What you’ll be doing:

• Conceptualising, crafting and designing new products and experiences for clients in a myriad of sectors.
• Supporting or leading kick-off workshops (remote or face-to-face) to understand requirements, challenges, goals and more.
• Working within cross-functional teams using an Agile development process to bring ideas to life.
• Speaking directly to users through moderated user testing or interviews to champion user needs and advocate a human-centred mindset.
• Producing experiences as wireframes, concepts or prototypes to gain buy-in from clients and communicate your thinking.
• Owning or leading on the interaction design, visual and user interface design of your projects.
• Liaising with and presenting back to clients in playbacks and demos to create industry-leading experiences across mobile and web.

What you’ll need:

• 4+ years of product, user experience or equivalent experience.
• A growth and self-starter mindset paired with excellent communication skills.
• A strong portfolio that defines your approach and problem-solving skills, ideally with some experience in designing native mobile apps (iOS & Android).
• Proficiency in typography, desktop/mobile UI, colour, layout, iconography and a strong aesthetic sense.
• Agile scrum experience, working in sprints, with backlogs and feature sets and use of project tracking tools like JIRA, Confluence.
• Ability to translate requirements into modern, accessible and delightful experiences for end users.
• Proficiency working in Figma and familiarity working with AI design tools.
• A mindset of experimentation, automation, and AI-enhanced problem-solving.

The nice-to-haves:

• Prior experience in SaaS product development, enterprise apps, or high-growth startups.
• Experience or familiarity with design systems and a modular design process.
• Solid experience of the mobile app space, both iOS and Android.
• Basic understanding of the software development life cycle (HTML, CSS, JS).

What’s in it for you?
