In this role, you’ll use your full range of design skills to push boundaries, balancing user needs with business objectives in a fast-paced SaaS environment.
Key Responsibilities

- Facilitate workshops and discussions to align on goals and promote a shared understanding of challenges and solutions.
- Conduct design and user research, including validation testing, to inform your designs.
- Design intuitive UI patterns within a cohesive design system to support large datasets, rich visuals and high-frequency updates, while ensuring responsiveness across devices.
- Apply WCAG accessibility standards and information design principles to communicate complex data through high-level visualisations such as charts and summaries .

- Collaborative: Experienced working with product managers, engineers and stakeholders in Agile or Lean teams, communicating ideas clearly and constructively.
- Self-directed: Confident owning design for a product area, making decisions independently while bringing others into the process
Innovative and User-Focused:
- A problem-solver and systems thinker: Able to connect the big picture with the details of complex user journeys.
- Insight-led: Able to use behavioural analytics, heatmaps and session recordings (e.g. Microsoft Clarity) to identify opportunities and measure improvements.
Adaptable and Resilient:
- Adaptable: Comfortable working through ambiguity, prioritising effectively and learning as the product and business evolve.
Other Requirements:
