We’re on a quest to find an experienced digital product designer to deliver quality UX and UI design work as part of our work creating industry-leading engineering and scientific software platforms. You will own the product design for an established geospatial platform produced in collaboration with a long-standing civil engineering client, and support design initiatives across Mettle’s science and engineering focused product activities.

Mettle is a design and development studio formed of a close-knit team of engineers, designers, developers, technologists and researchers. We go further than just ideas and concepts, delivering finished products at pace and with technical excellence.

As a Senior Digital Product Designer, you will:

• Bring your design expertise to focus on products in complex engineering and scientific domains
• Lead design activities on deep-dive UX and UI design sprints: generating ideas, prototyping concepts, testing with users, and detailing designs
• Collaborate with software development teams to bring products to life
• Champion users and their needs in collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams
• Lead communication and relationship building with clients and partners
• Manage and mentor junior team members
• Drive continuous improvement to process and expertise; both within Mettle and beyond
• Contribute to thought leadership on topics that align to your personal passions

We are looking for:

• A great portfolio of work that showcases your skills and experience in UI and/or UX design; as well as any complementary technical or creative skills
• At least 4 years of digital product design experience, including experience designing for complex technical products in specialised domains
• A great ability to navigate complexity and engage with technical detail
• Excellent levels of attention-to-detail
• An autonomous worker who is comfortable working in ambiguous and uncertain spaces
• An appreciation of the entire product development process: from understanding user needs & pains and mapping out user journeys through to delivering detailed UI and visual designs ready for development
• Excellent proficiency in digital design & prototyping software (we’re using Figma and Miro)
• Very strong visual, verbal and written communication skills
• Experience working in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team including product managers and software developers
• Experience understanding and working with comprehensive UI design systems
• Experience engaging directly with clients; guiding them through well-reasoned, rational and calm discussions
• A UK-based designer with an existing right to work in the UK

Life at Mettle:

This role pays an annual salary of £40,000 – £55,000 based on experience, plus a profit-sharing bonus scheme.

We have a very flexible approach to remote working – from fully-remote to fully-office-based (in Somerset House, London) or anything in between. Our collaborative working hours are 0930 – 1630 GMT with flexibility on when you spend the rest of your time.

We offer 25 days annual leave and we are also closed between Christmas and New Year. There is an annual company conference where the whole business gets together, and we host several social events throughout the year to have fun and pursue passions. We are also committed to investing in your training and development with a plan tailored to each individual.

Together and apart, we relish and respect our time outside work and the importance of caring for our minds, bodies and our collective wellbeing. We provide access to professional support including trained Mental Health First Aiders should you ever find yourself in need.
