The Opportunity

This is a hands-on senior role covering UX research, web accessibility (WCAG 2.2), design systems and cross functional collaboration. Our platform is part of a suite of tools built on top of an established business architecture modelling engine, giving customers a way to visualise, structure and interact with complex organisational and process data. The suite spans several connected products, from modelling and content authoring through to reporting and integration, allowing different types of users, from technical solution builders to everyday end users, to work with the same underlying data in ways suited to their role. The core product you'd be working on to begin with is a responsive, web-based authoring tool that lets users build and structure content on a flexible canvas. It represents a significant modernisation of an older, desktop only tool, moving the experience to something more visual, accessible and intuitive while retaining the depth needed for enterprise use. Customers span sectors including defence and government adjacent industries, which brings additional considerations around accessibility, data handling and security.

Responsibilities

You will work closely with product owners, developers and customers to shape the direction of the product and ensure it meets the needs of a range of user types across the platform. Typical responsibilities will include:

  • Lead and facilitate usability testing sessions with internal stakeholders and external customers including coordinating note taking and ensuring findings are captured objectively ahead of analysis
  • Synthesise research findings into clear structured documentation that links insight directly to specific product areas and user questions.
  • Translate research insight into well-structured tickets for the development backlog covering both defects and improvements

  • Contribute to and maintain design documentation

  • Provide day to day guidance and informal mentorship / support to a junior UI designer supporting their development without formal line management responsibility.
  • Support and contribute to working groups addressing handoff and quality assurance process gaps between design and development.

  • FigJam – Research Findings
  • Jira – Project / Sprint Management
  • Confluence – Documentation
What Are We Looking For
  • Proven experience as a UX Designer or UX Lead ideally within enterprise or B2B software.

  • Experience synthesising qualitative research into actionable design and development outputs.
  • Comfortable working within agile delivery workflows and contributing to sprint ceremonies.
  • Familiarity with modern design and prototyping tools and collaborative whiteboarding software.
  • Experience working with unmoderated testing platforms.
  • Experience collaborating with international teams and stakeholders across time zones
