## About the Role

* Genuinely into cooking - someone who cooks regularly, thinks about kitchens, and understands the real friction points of a home cook's day. This isn't a nice-to-have: our best product decisions come from designers who've actually stood at the stove and felt where an app or interface gets in the way

 * Strong portfolio demonstrating UI/UX craft across mobile and web product design

 * Comfortable prototyping in front-end code (HTML/CSS/JS) in addition to Figma

 * Experience designing for e-commerce, DTC, or connected/IoT products a strong plus

 * Ability to work across two brand voices with very different registers - mass-market/value vs. premium/editorial -without losing rigor on either

 * Self-directed, comfortable taking a point of view and defending it in review

 * Based in or able to work full-time on-site in London

## Description

We're hiring a UI/UX Designer to help shape digital product experiences across both brands - most notably the CHEF iQ app (recipe discovery, guided cooking flows, connected device experiences) and supporting e-commerce, packaging-adjacent, and marketing touchpoints. You'll work at the intersection of interaction design, visual craft, and front-end feasibility, translating brand systems into working product experiences.

This is a hands-on, high-craft role - not a hand-off-and-wait position. You'll be prototyping in code as often as in Figma, and you'll be expected to hold a point of view in review, not just execute tickets. Because our products live in real kitchens, we want someone who brings a cook's instincts to the work - not just a designer's.

What you'll do

 * Design and prototype UI/UX for the CHEF iQ app and related digital products, from flow to pixel

 * Build interactive, front-end prototypes (HTML/CSS/JS) to test and present real product behavior - not just static comps

 * Translate CHEF iQ and Chefman brand systems (typography, color, tone) into consistent, functional interfaces across both brands' distinct registers

 * Collaborate directly with the Design Director and US-based leadership (including the CEO) on product direction

 * Contribute to the evolving design system - tokens, components, and documentation

 * Partner with external agencies and vendors on campaign and packaging touchpoints where digital and physical intersect
