Would you like to kick start your career in a supportive, collaborative and innovative company?

Do you enjoy working as part of an enthusiastic, passionate, and collaborative team?

Join our Internal Technology team

We are seeking a talented and experienced UX/UI Designer to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in designing and prototyping with Figma, and multiple years of experience in creating wireframes and designs for software applications from initial concept through to finished design. The candidate should also be familiar with component libraries and managing design systems

As UX UI Designer, you'll be responsible for:

• Design and Prototyping: Create high-fidelity designs and interactive prototypes that effectively communicate design ideas and user interactions
• Wireframing: Develop detailed wireframes that outline the structure and functionality of new features and applications
• User-Centred Design: Conduct user research and usability testing to inform design decisions and ensure a user-centred approach
• Collaboration: Work closely with platform owners, developers, and other stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of designs
• Design Systems: Manage and evolve the design system to support the needs of the product and design team

We'd love you to have

• Experience: Multiple years of experience in UX/UI design, with a strong portfolio showcasing your work on software applications
• Tools: Proficiency in Figma for design and prototyping
• Skills: Strong understanding of design principles, user experience, and interaction design
• Communication: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
• Attention to Detail: Keen eye for detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality designs

We also acknowledge that the confidence gap and imposter syndrome are a real thing and can get in the way of us meeting fantastic talent.

Work in a way that works for you

We recognise that everyone is different and that the way in which people want to work and deliver at their best is different for everyone too. In this role, we can offer the following flexible working patterns:

• Hybrid working
• Working flexible hours - flexing the times you start and finish during the day
• Flexibility around school pick up and drop offs

Working with us

Wherever you work, we want you to experience the freedom and autonomy to realise your potential. You will feel supported by a team that celebrates individuality, encourages different perspectives, and embraces every background.

If you have a disability or neurodiversity, we can provide support or adjustments that you may need throughout our recruitment process or any mitigating circumstance you wish for us to consider. Any information you share on your application will be treated in confidence.

Here at Softcat, we don't prohibit the use of AI (artificial intelligence) in our application process, as we understand how far it can go to creating a truly equitable candidate experience.
