UX/UI Designer

Overview: As a UX/UI Designer in the IP Development team, you will design intuitive, accessible, and visually engaging digital experiences across our platforms. You will translate user and business needs into effective design solutions, ensuring a consistent and high-quality user experience across products. Working closely with Product Managers and Engineers, you will help shape user journeys, refine requirements, and ensure design solutions are both user-centred and technically feasible. You will apply and extend established design systems to ensure consistency, while also elevating the visual quality of our platforms. You will work with early-stage concepts and prototypes generated through modern tooling (e.g. Lovable, Figma Make), refining and evolving these into high-quality, production-ready designs. You will also use emerging tools to enhance visual design, including generating graphics and assets that help our platforms feel polished, engaging, and distinctive. Responsibilities:

• Design and deliver user-centred interfaces, including wireframes, mock-ups, user flows, and interactive prototypes (primarily using Figma)
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Engineers to refine requirements and shape user stories
• Apply and work within established design systems and UI frameworks, ensuring consistency across products
• Ensure designs are accessible, responsive, and aligned to best practices (including WCAG standards)
• Participate in design reviews, workshops, and iterative feedback sessions to improve solutions
• Support user research, usability testing, and analysis of user feedback to inform design decisions
• Translate complex requirements into simple, intuitive user experiences
• Maintain clear and organised design documentation to support effective development handoff
• Refine and evolve early-stage concepts and prototypes into production-ready designs
• Use modern tools to generate and enhance visual assets (e.g. graphics, illustrations, UI elements) to improve the overall look and feel of products
• Contribute to making platforms more engaging and visually distinctive while maintaining usability and consistency
• Where appropriate, contribute to shaping how new capabilities are introduced into the user experience

• Demonstrable experience in UX/UI design and user-centred design principles
• A portfolio showcasing interface design, user journeys, and visual design capability
• Proficiency with modern design tools (e.g. Figma)
• Experience working with established design systems or UI frameworks (e.g. Material Design, MUI, Carbon)
• Understanding of responsive design and accessibility best practices (e.g. WCAG)
• Strong visual design skills, with the ability to create engaging, polished interfaces
• Ability to balance creativity with consistency and usability
• Ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams (Product, Engineering)
• Strong communication skills and openness to feedback
• Ability to iterate on designs based on user insights and technical constraints
• Experience supporting or contributing to usability testing or user research activities
• Awareness of front-end development concepts (e.g. HTML/CSS, design handoff considerations)
• Experience working with collaboration tools such as Jira and Confluence
• Experience working with modern design tooling to accelerate prototyping and refine generated outputs into production-ready designs
• Experience creating or enhancing visual assets (e.g. graphics, UI elements, imagery) or a strong interest in developing these skills
