Senior UX Designer / Researcher (Immediate Start, Remote – AEST)

3-month FTC (with potential to extend) | Dijitally

We’re on the lookout for a sharp, experienced Senior UX Designer / Researcher who’s ready to hit the ground running.

This is an immediate start for a 3-month fixed-term contract, with potential to extend. You’ll lead UX discovery and design for a major digital initiative – shaping end-to-end user experiences through deep research, design thinking, and strong stakeholder alignment.

If you’re confident running the full UX process – from workshops to wireframes – and love turning insight into intuitive, scalable experiences, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing:

• Own and lead UX research and design across a large-scale digital experience project
• Run stakeholder workshops, user interviews, usability testing, competitor reviews, and analytics audits
• Synthesise research into actionable outputs – personas, journey maps, IA, prioritisation frameworks, and recommendations
• Design smart, high-quality wireframes and prototypes using Figma (and/or similar tools)
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (Product, Development, SEO, Marketing, and Creative) to deliver experiences that meet both user needs and business goals
• Champion accessibility, inclusive design, and a test-and-learn mindset
• Confidently manage shifting priorities and timelines in a fast-paced delivery environment

What you’ll bring:

• 6+ years of UX design and research experience, ideally in digital agency or enterprise environments
• A strong portfolio showcasing your strategic thinking, research capability, and end-to-end UX delivery
• Proven ability to lead workshops, manage stakeholders, and bring clarity to complex problems
• Experience designing large-scale websites or digital platforms with multiple user journeys
• Deep knowledge of UX best practice, accessibility standards, and responsive design
• Confidence using tools like Figma, Sketch, InVision, or Adobe XD
• Excellent communication skills – you’re just as comfortable presenting to stakeholders as you are deep in the detail
• A proactive, adaptable mindset and the ability to work independently in a remote environment

How we work:

This is a remote role aligned to AEST working hours. We’re flexible on location within ANZ, but value clear communication and self-direction. You’ll stay connected with the team via Slack, G-Suite, and regular WIPs – and we’ll back you with the support and trust to do great work.
