Working within a dedicated product team, you’ll collaborate with designers, AI engineers, full-stack engineers, and consulting teams to develop technology that helps businesses determine where to invest, where to focus, and how to grow.

Our platform combines advanced AI capabilities with tools supporting marketing return on investment, brand strategy, and pricing and commercial analytics.

Working closely with the Design Lead and engineering teams, you’ll take ownership of specific features and design workstreams, translating complex analytical capabilities into intuitive, effective interfaces.

From early concepts and interactive prototypes to detailed specifications and implementation, you’ll contribute throughout the product design lifecycle. You’ll also help evolve our design system, ensuring a consistent, high-quality experience across the platform.

Your work will support expert users making important commercial decisions, where clarity, usability, and trust are essential.

What You'll Do

Own the end-to-end design of assigned features, from initial concepts and wireframes through interactive prototypes, high-fidelity designs, and implementation reviews.

Create intuitive, data-rich interfaces, including dashboards, scenario-planning tools, analytical views, and complex workflows.

Design interactions that help users understand and confidently interpret AI-generated recommendations, confidence indicators, and uncertainty.

Contribute to our design system by developing reusable components, maintaining consistency, and improving design patterns as the platform evolves.

Conduct usability research and prototype testing with consulting teams and subject-matter experts, translating feedback into practical design improvements.

Collaborate with engineers to ensure designs are technically feasible, clearly documented, and implemented to a high standard.

Present design concepts and decisions to colleagues and stakeholders, connecting design choices to user needs and business objectives.

Maintain organized design files, specifications, and documentation that support effective collaboration across teams.

Stay current with emerging design tools, AI-powered product experiences, and data visualization practices, applying relevant innovations to your work.

You can turn complex information into clear, intuitive interfaces, including dashboards, data tables, visualizations, and multi-step workflows.

You have experience conducting usability research and translating findings into meaningful design improvements.

You’re familiar with front-end development principles, including responsive layouts, component behavior, and interaction states.

You have a strong eye for visual detail, including typography, spacing, color, and interaction design.

You actively use AI-assisted design and prototyping tools to explore ideas and accelerate iteration.

You thrive in agile, cross-functional teams and bring an iterative, feedback-driven approach to your work.
