Climate Policy Radar is an independent non‑profit building open, credible data infrastructure and AI‑powered tools for climate, nature, and development action.
Our data and tools help governments, researchers, international organisations, civil society, and the private sector to understand and advance effective climate policies and deploy climate finance. Harnessing data science and AI – including pioneering applications of natural language processing in this field – we make previously unstructured, siloed data easier to find, understand, and act on.
We are a team of policy experts, engineers, data scientists, product thinkers, communicators, and operators. We care deeply about how we work – our values, culture, and ways of collaborating – as well as what we build. As part of that, we have embraced a flexible, hybrid approach to work, including a four‑day workweek.
We’re looking for an experienced designer who can help reimagine sophisticated search and browse experiences for our core product.
You will:
work on early concept development, bringing them all the way through to interaction design and implementation
work closely with our product engineering, data science, and policy teams to define what we will build to meet our users’ needs
work directly with engineers to ensure high‑quality implementation
design for expert users who need to find, explore, and make sense of complex documents and relationships between climate topics
prototype interactions to test and communicate ideas
work across search interfaces, browse patterns, reading experiences, and everything in between
establish new patterns and components that evolve our product design system
Qualifications:
5+ years designing digital products (ideally with experience working on data‑heavy or search‑oriented interfaces)
A strong portfolio showing end‑to‑end product thinking and expert interface design with attention to detail
experience working in multi‑disciplinary teams
ability to shape your own work and handle competing priorities
an understanding of information architecture and how people navigate complex systems
comfortable working with ambiguity
experience building or contributing to design systems
be proficient in Figma and have a working knowledge of HTML and CSS and best practice in modern web development
a collaborative approach and strong communication skills
Nice to haves
enthusiasm for trying new tools and approaches, especially a desire to experiment with new ways of working with AI tools
an interest in the climate domain
experience designing data visualisation
able to ship small amounts of front‑end code (HTML, CSS, basic JavaScript)
Salary between £550 - £650 per day depending on experience.
