The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Product Designer to take ownership of the quality, consistency and usability of a SaaS platform.

• Work closely with Product and Engineering from early ideas through to implementation.
• Review new features and prototypes to ensure a consistent, high-quality user experience.
• Regularly review the existing product, identify UX issues and prioritise improvements.
• Research comparable products and identify ways to make the experience more intuitive and distinctive.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong Product Design experience within SaaS or complex digital products .
• Experience building or significantly improving a design system .
• Strong UX/UI skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Experience designing complex interfaces, including dashboards, tables, filters and workflows.
• Comfortable working closely with engineers rather than simply handing over Figma designs.
• Some experience with React/front-end development is highly desirable.
• Experience using Claude or similar AI tools is a bonus.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating both visual design and UX/product thinking.
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership.

First 30-60 Days

You’ll initially review the existing product, identify the biggest UX/UI and consistency issues and create a prioritised roadmap.

From there, you’ll establish the first version of the design system and core UX guidelines, before taking 1-2 existing areas of the product and demonstrating how they could be significantly improved.
