has an exciting opportunity for a

UX Design Lead

to join the team!

Job Location: Park Hill, Sheffield, S2 5QX (5 mins walk from the train station)

Salary: £45-50k per annum

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

About Us:

Airship is an established company based in Sheffield. We build SaaS products that serve the best and most exciting brands in UK hospitality spanning every category - from well known high street chains to small independents.

At Airship we understand that great service and products are built by happy people. We are passionate about creating an environment that is highly supportive, friendly, and flexible, and which will enable our team to do their best work.

Role

• As UX Design Lead, you'll be at the heart of how our products work and feel
• You’ll shape the entire user experience – from understanding what problem we’re solving through to ensuring what gets built actually solves it well
• You’ll report to our CTO, and work closely with our Product team (including our Product Managers and CEO)
• Once we’re building, you’ll be embedded with our development squads, creating wireframes and detailed flows in Figma, providing copy and UI guidance, and working alongside developers to ensure we’re delivering great user experiences
• You’ll be the person developers come to for UX guidance and sign‑off
• This role sits between strategy and execution. One day you might be white‑boarding user journeys with the CEO, the next you’re in Figma detailing button states and error messages

Candidate profile

• We’re looking for someone who can think through problems holistically and translate those thoughts into clear, usable interfaces
• You’re highly proficient with Figma and comfortable using it to communicate
• You have a strong understanding of UX principles
• You can write clear, concise copy for UI elements that guides users naturally
• You’re collaborative and enjoy working closely with teams
• You have experience working on B2B SaaS products (hospitality experience is a bonus but not required)

Benefits

• We equip everyone with a Macbook
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off. Plus a buy‑and‑sell leave scheme and an extra day off after you’ve been here 3 years
• 10% time: 10% of your time to learn something new
• Full private health insurance provided
• Family‑Friendly Policies: 26 weeks full pay for maternity leave and flexible working
• Cycle‑to‑Work Scheme and secure bike storage at our office
• Dog Friendly: If you’ve got one, it’s welcome at the office!
• We are a hybrid team and enjoy the collaboration opportunities it brings
• We have views over the city, green spaces front and back and plenty of space
• We will also give you the time, space and budget to learn new technologies and further your own knowledge
