Product Designer and UX researcher

Working pattern: On-site, based in central London
A chance to be the first research hire inside a small, senior design team at an AI work-execution platform built for the alternative investment sector. You'll own the research practice end to end and design from your own evidence - discovery and usability work through to flows, prototypes and shipped UI on a weekly release cadence.

* Turn findings into designed solutions: user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes and high-fidelity UI built on the in-house design system.
* Design and evaluate AI-assisted workflows for user trust, verification behaviour and failure-mode tolerance, contributing golden examples and failure taxonomies to AI evaluation sets.
* Partner with product and engineering from problem framing through to release, arguing for prioritised, traceable decisions where t...
