Job summary

Neutreeno in Cambridge is seeking its first full-time UX design lead to own the product design end‑to‑end, from problem framing and information architecture through to interaction detail and shipped UI.

This hybrid role involves building and championing an AI‑native design system, collaborating with engineers and climate scientists, and shaping how we listen to customers to drive the roadmap.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional product or UX design experience.
• Proven experience designing complex B2B, enterprise or data-heavy products.
• Demonstrable experience defining and running a design system, including how engineering consumes it.
• Strong craft across research, information architecture, interaction design and visual design.
• Real, daily use of AI tools as a core part of how you work, whether for prototyping, design system tooling or generating production-ready UI.
• Experience running research and usability sessions directly with customers, and turning what you learn into decisions.
• A track record of shipping high-quality work at pace, with high autonomy and little process.
• Strong communication and the ability to build trust quickly across engineering, product, science and leadership.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end design of the product, from problem framing and information architecture through to interaction detail and shipped UI.
• Make complex, uncertain, hierarchical emissions data legible and actionable for operations, finance and sustainability audiences.
• Set the visual and interaction direction, and raise the bar on craft across everything we ship.
• Prototype fast and often.
• Define, build and maintain the Neutreeno design system: foundations, components, patterns, content and data-visualisation standards.
• Architect it to be machine-readable and AI-native so AI coding tools and agentic workflows can build against reliably.
• Make the system the fastest path to both a prototype and production UI.
• Champion AI-native design and development practices across the team.
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with our software engineers, translating design intent into well-scoped work that ships reliably to our customers.
• Partner with the Head of Product on discovery, roadmap and prioritisation.
• Work with our climate engineers to understand the methodology behind the numbers, and represent uncertainty, assumptions and data quality honestly in the interface.
• Design and run the structures that make client engagement continuous and systematic: design partner programmes, regular usability sessions, feedback channels, and a clear route from what we hear to what we build.
• Embed those structures across the company so engagement is a shared habit rather than a design activity.
• Run discovery research on new product capabilities: what to build, for whom, and what "good" looks like.
• Measure whether shipped work moved the needle, and feed that back into the roadmap.
