UX/UI designer, WeTransfer in Manchester

WeTransfer helps millions of users share ideas and collaborate seamlessly. Now part of Bending Spoons, it plays a key role in a portfolio of outstanding digital businesses united by a shared focus on innovation and operational excellence. By applying through the WeTransfer brand, you’ll be stepping into the wider Bending Spoons team. You may work directly on WeTransfer or contribute to one of our other leading products. Either way, you’ll be part of a high-performing, collaborative environment where you can make a real impact.

At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers. A company where team members grow to their full potential. A company that functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. A company that creates value for shareowners at an extraordinary rate. And a company that does so while adhering to high ethical standards.

A few examples of your responsibilities:

• Shape high-leverage product experiences. Design exceptional UI and UX—from early concepts to polished delivery—using the best available tools to explore more directions, move faster, and raise the quality bar. Ensure every experience is intuitive, effective, and delightful.
• Start with an LLM. Use AI tools to clarify intent, draft short specs, and surface risks, edge cases, and initial approaches before opening any design tool. Use this work to align quickly with your team and compress the time from ambiguity to direction.
• Prototype and build with AI. Use Cursor and Claude Code to turn rough concepts into interactive prototypes and generate production-ready frontend code. You know when to reach for code and when to reach for Figma—and you move fluidly between both to get the best result.
• Co-create with PMs and engineers from day one. Define UX requirements early, stay in the build through QA and release, and make engineering-aware design decisions.
• Validate and measure. Talk directly with customers, run quick tests, and use what you learn to adjust direction. Track funnels, retention, and adoption to assess design effectiveness and sharpen what ships next.
• Find the highest-leverage bets from the backlog. Identify where product improvements can unlock business value, align stakeholders around them, and move fast to deliver.

What we look for:

• Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, and structure your ideas sharply. You resist the influence of biases. You identify and take care of the details that matter.
• Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do—and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work. You hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
• Team spirit. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea. You're always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

What we offer:

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, result-oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
• An exceptional opportunity for growth. We go to great lengths to hire individuals of outstanding potential—then, our priority is to put them in the ideal position to thrive.
• Competitive pay and access to company equity at a discount. Typically, we offer individuals with limited experience an annual salary of £85,797 in London and €66,065 elsewhere in Europe. For a candidate that we assess as possessing considerable relevant experience, the salary on offer tends to be between £112,189 and £250,512 in London, and €107,837 and €188,848 elsewhere in Europe.
• Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited backing for learning and training, top-of-the-market health insurance, a rich relocation package, generous parental support, and a yearly retreat to a stunning location.
