WORKING DETAILS

This is a full-time role (37.5 hours per week). We typically work from 09:00 - 17:30 from Monday to Friday, though we can be flexible around this, just let us know. Our office is in Edinburgh City Centre. We’re ideally looking for somebody who can be in the office a couple of days a week, although we’ll consider remote working for the right candidate.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you looking for an opportunity to use and develop your design experience working on a complex and meaningful product used by tens of thousands of professionals?
We’re on the hunt for a Product Designer to help improve and extend our product functionality and user experience. You’ll work in a fast-paced growing environment helping to deliver customer improvements at pace, and we need someone who can balance short-term pragmatism with long-term ambition.
Working alongside two other Product Designers, this is a great opportunity for someone who wants to input into our overall product design vision, improve our design processes, and provide end-to-end design support to our engineering teams.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Working closely with our Tech Leads and Product Managers you will be completing UX and UI design activities across the software development lifecycle.

• Take briefs from Product Managers and deliver logical, scalable and consistent design work that meet requirements and work within technical constraints.
• Help Product Managers and Engineers understand different solutions to problems, educating where necessary on the strengths and benefits to different approaches.
• Use your expertise to regularly provide ad hoc design guidance and advice to Engineers.
• Contribute to our growing UI kit and ensure greater consistency by using it over time.
• Suggest changes to design process in an environment where your opinion will be heard.
• Aid Product Managers in feature discovery and design validation.
• Take an active role in QA – reviewing implemented work against designs and providing clear feedback to Engineers.
