Job Description:

Senior UX Designer

We’re working with a product-focused business undergoing an exciting in-house transformation of its digital offering. They’re looking for a hands-on Senior UX Designer who’s ready to own and evolve a suite of user experiences across multiple digital products. This is the perfect opportunity for someone who’s worn many hats in a smaller team or business and is now ready to take that breadth of experience into a more mature UX environment with clear progression and technical depth.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Taking full ownership of UX across several high-visibility product areas (you’ll be the go-to person).
• Working across the full UX spectrum — from discovery and journey mapping to UI design, prototyping, and handoff.
• Helping drive clarity in delivery: identifying problems, validating ideas, and pushing back where requirements are vague.
• Running your own priorities within agile sprints — this role expects autonomy, not ticket-taking.
• Collaborating with a tight-knit, experienced design team that values mentorship, feedback, and career growth.
• Navigating both legacy and new product streams as the company transitions to fully in-house development.

What We’re Looking For:

• A strong generalist UX skill set: discovery, research (qual and quant), journey mapping, service blueprints, UI design, Figma, and design systems.
• Experience owning full product areas — not just delivering screens but driving direction.
• A proactive mindset — you’ll need to prioritise, push, and speak to stakeholders directly.
• A history of working in agile environments and contributing meaningfully to sprints.
• Bonus: experience coming from a smaller company or lean team, having led or significantly shaped UX efforts.

Why This Role?

You’ll join a business that’s serious about UX, with a mature team and a clear promotion pathway — one that’s seen multiple team members step up within 12 months. With 5–6 digital products (and more coming in-house), the opportunity to shape real user impact is huge. If you're looking for a place to grow, own, and push your craft forward — this is it.
