About us

Our clients include the world’s biggest consultancies, leading financial institutions and top law firms.

Jigsaw was founded by two seasoned entrepreneurs, Stephen and Travis. This is their second venture together; their first was acquired by a US private equity firm and went on to become a billion-dollar company and a household name in professional service firms across the world. Jigsaw is now on a growth trajectory few Series A companies achieve - putting us in the top quartile SaaS companies globally. Today we proudly serve thousands of users from nearly twohundred businesses worldwide, who love our products and use them everyday.

But we’re only getting started! We have ambitious goals and we’re looking for talented people to help us achieve them.

• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including product managers, engineers, and researchers, to gather insights, define requirements, and ensure design feasibility.
• Plan and conduct usability testing sessions to gather feedback and iterate on designs for continuous improvement.
• Prepare design specifications, style guides, and design assets to support development efforts.
• Stay updated on industry trends, design best practices, and legal tech advancements to contribute fresh ideas and insights to the team.

You'll thrive in this role if...

• You have strong problem-solving skills and the ability to simplify complex concepts through design.
• You have excellent communication skills, with the ability to present and justify design decisions.
• You have a good understanding of accessibility and UX best practices.
• You know the legal industry or you have experience designing for a specialised domain (this would be a plus; not required)
