Waracle are looking for a Product Designer for an exciting new fixed-term contract opportunity joining our world-class digital technology consultancy and home to a diverse, smart, curious and ambitious community of specialists in technology-driven transformation.

We work with ambitious clients to help them solve their biggest business and customer challenges. We help our clients to innovate and create intelligent digital products and services. We thrive on complex challenges and deliver business-critical IT transformation projects, moving seamlessly from strategy, design and delivery to operations.

This is a Hybrid role, offering the flexibility to balance your professional and personal life, with 2 days a week spent connecting with colleagues in our Glasgow or Dundee office.

The Role

This is initially a fixed-term role, with the potential to transition into a permanent position based on business needs and performance.

We're looking for a Product Designer who is ready to own the interaction and user experience for individual features or smaller projects. In this role, you’ll be an essential bridge between strategy, design, and delivery, helping to deliver high‑quality, user‑centric solutions.

This is more than just making things look good—it's about meticulous design thinking and ensuring every user flow is intuitive, accessible, and aligned with existing design systems.

We're looking for a motivated individual with a passion for inclusive design and excellent communication skills. If you see yourself in the skills below, we strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don't tick every box!

Key aspects of the role include:

• Interaction Mastery: Take full ownership of interaction design at the feature level, meticulously mapping out happy paths, unhappy paths, and error states.
• Inclusive Design Champion: Apply accessibility (WCAG) patterns, check designs, and support inclusive language and testing practices to ensure broad usability for diverse users.
• Prototyping & Documentation: Build low‑fidelity and interactive prototypes using tools like Figma, Framer, or Bolt, and document interaction expectations for development teams.
• Responsive Interface Design: Design responsive interfaces and basic interactions, aligning all work to the existing design system.
• Testing & Evaluation: Design and execute user tests, including writing clear hypotheses and success criteria, and collaborating on dashboards for tracking user feedback.

What you’ll bring to the role

• Strong UI/UX design experience delivering website refreshes, content migration projects, and scalable digital experiences, including feature‑level design and complex user flows covering happy paths, edge cases, and error states.
• Proven experience designing top‑level pages, templates, and reusable components within design systems, with a strong understanding of Content Management System platforms, front‑end infrastructure, and technical constraints.
• Strong foundation in inclusive design and accessibility standards, applying best practices throughout the design process.
• Experience planning, conducting, and evaluating user research and testing to validate decisions and drive evidence‑based improvements.
• Proficient in modern design and prototyping tools such as Figma, Framer, and Bolt, creating clear and effective interactive solutions.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and collaboration skills, with experience working across multidisciplinary teams including developers, BAs, copywriters, testers, and stakeholders to support end‑to‑end delivery.
