The Role

You’ll take full ownership of design across a SaaS platform used by regulated businesses to make high-stakes decisions.

Not polishing pixels.

Not tweaking margins.

But reshaping how complex information is understood, trusted, and acted on.

You’ll inherit a live product, assess what works (and what doesn’t), then set a higher bar for clarity, usability, and flow. Over the next 6–12 months, the product will evolve fast. Your design decisions will shape that evolution.

You’ll work closely with product and engineering, influence roadmap decisions early, and see your work shipped quickly. No design-by-committee. No endless sign-offs. You’ll be trusted to lead.

And if you want to grow beyond “Lead” into owning design as a function, that path is there.

What you’ll actually do

• Review the existing product and raise the UX standard across key journeys
• Redesign onboarding, workflows, dashboards, and decision-heavy interfaces
• Turn user research into clear design direction, not just artefacts
• Design interfaces for automation, data interpretation, and AI-driven insight
• Build and maintain a scalable design system in Figma
• Partner closely with engineers to make sure designs land properly
• Act as the design voice in product discussions

What you’ll need

You’ll probably recognise yourself in most of this:

• You’ve designed SaaS or data-heavy B2B products for several years
• You’re strong in UX, information design, and workflow thinking
• You’re fluent in Figma, prototyping, and design systems
• You’re comfortable working autonomously and setting direction
• You enjoy simplifying complexity rather than hiding it
• You’re curious about how AI and automation change user behaviour

What happens next

Apply and we’ll take it from there.

Short intro call → product conversation → practical design discussion → final decision.

If you want a role where design genuinely shapes the product — not just how it looks, but how it works — this one’s worth a conversation.
