Direction jobs in United States

We are seeking a Creative and UX Manager to join an innovative and growing software firm - a digital agency working at the forefront of digital transformation across the public and social sectors. If you are passionate about crafting exceptional digital experiences and leading with creative and user-centered thinking, this could be your next big opportunity.

About the Role

This is a pivotal leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of design, technology, and product experience. You will oversee a small but talented Front-End and UX/UI team, guiding them to deliver high-quality web and product interfaces across websites, intranets, portals, and AI-driven platforms. You will be deeply involved in the product lifecycle, from shaping user journeys and improving interaction design to participating in strategic pitches and driving sales enablement with design thinking.

This role offers a chance to combine vision-setting with hands-on design direction, influencing both internal product development and external digital delivery. You will also play a key role in expanding and evolving the company's design services, collaborating closely with the owner, CPO, and key stakeholders across tech, marketing, and project delivery.

What’s on Offer

• Circa GBP50k, potentially up to GBP60k for the perfect candidate.
• Equity participation (share options after qualifying period).
• Generous pension, life cover, and a true meritocracy.
• Hybrid working (minimum 3 days onsite per week).
• A supportive, entrepreneurial environment working directly with the founder.
• Lead major UX/UI design projects for NHS, government, and social housing clients.
• Real career progression as the business grows.

About You

We are looking for someone who lives and breathes creative problem solving through design. You will have a strong grasp of Information Architecture and its role in UX, along with a decent footing in front-end technologies (like LESS, CSS, and HTML), with the confidence to speak with clients and stakeholders alike. Agency experience or a client-facing freelance background would be helpful. Most importantly, you will be commercially aware, customer-focused, and ready to drive digital innovation in a fast-paced, purpose-driven business.
