We’re hiring a UX Designer to join one of several workstreams within a newly formed delivery pod. You’ll collaborate closely with Service Designers, BAs, and engineers to shape intuitive, user‑centred experiences aligned to governance, work arrangement, data management, or AI‑related initiatives. Project allocation is still being confirmed, so we’re looking for someone who is adaptable, comfortable with shifting priorities, and confident designing within evolving problem spaces.

While individual applications are welcome, we’re especially interested in people who apply together as ready‑made teams. If you have colleagues you’ve successfully partnered with before (UX, SD, BA), please apply as a group or reference them in your application.

This role suits someone who brings a thoughtful, product‑minded approach to UX, someone who can take service‑level thinking and translate it into structured flows, screens, and interactions that stand up in real‑world delivery.

What You Will Do

• Create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and interaction specifications.
• Work closely with Service Designers to translate service blueprints into actionable UX experiences.
• Collaborate with BAs to ensure logic, dependencies, and requirements are reflected in the UI.
• Contribute to research, usability testing, and iteration.
• Work within established design principles, tooling, and team frameworks.
• Operate effectively within a pod environment, ideally with colleagues you’ve worked with previously.
• Evolve your work as project scopes and workstreams become fully defined.

Qualifications

• Proven experience designing UX for digital products or complex workflows.
• Strong interaction design, flow logic, wireframing, and prototyping skills.
• Ability to translate service‑level thinking into detailed user experiences.
• Experience with data‑heavy, enterprise, or governance‑related products (preferred).
• Strong communicator who collaborates confidently in multidisciplinary teams.
• Comfortable working with changing requirements and ambiguous briefs.
• Strong preference for candidates who have worked with familiar teammates in previous pods or squads.
