Role
- We’re after a hands‑on product designer who lives and breathes UX but can also deliver polished UI. Someone who combines strategic thinking with creative craft, and has the energy to help drive Neverbland forward.
- You’ll lead discovery and UX strategy across projects, run workshops with clients, and work with other designers to deliver from concept to launch.
- collaborating with trusted freelance specialists where needed.
- You’ll help define and evolve Neverbland workflows, bringing a perspective on what place AI has across each stage of a process, where craft‑led tools fit in, and what the hand off points should be between design and development.
- Over time, you’ll also play a part in evolving how we present ourselves to the world, shaping our design voice, showcasing our work, and feeding into our external communications and marketing activity.
- This is a leadership‑track role: you’ll work directly with our CEO and Ops Director to shape how design and storytelling fit into Neverbland’s next chapter.
You’ll be responsible for
- Leading discovery and UX strategy for new digital products, from research and insight to journey maps and wireframes

- Helping evolve Neverbland’s design systems, templates, and best practices
- Contributing to proposals and presentations that win work
- Championing Neverbland’s design voice, helping share our work, stories, and opinions across web, social, and events
We’re looking for someone who
- Has 4–8 years’ experience in UX/product design, ideally within a studio, startup, or digital product team
- Can move comfortably between strategy, design, and client communication
- Brings energy, curiosity, and drive; proactive about improving both the work and how we show it
- Has strong presentation and storytelling skills
- Is fluent in Figma and comfortable with prototyping, testing, and design systems
- Has a portfolio that shows both problem-solving depth and aesthetic judgement
- Wants to grow into a leadership role, helping shape the team and culture around them
- Neverbland has just completed its best year to date, and we are positioning ourselves for a new era where AI and craft come together, with leaner teams and smarter creative tools.
- This is a rare chance to step into a senior role early, help shape the direction of the studio, and be part of building something ambitious, fast‑moving, and full of heart.
