# Lead User Experience Designer

- **Company:** ECM Selection Limited
- **Location:** Cambridge, UK (Remote available)
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Salary:** £70,000.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Software Engineering, User-Centered Design, Website Wireframe
- **Published:** August 24, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.ecmselection.co.uk/register/26644

## About the Role

* A focused CV detailing your prior UX work and involvement in user-centric design, iteration and client engagement, for full software products rather than simpler websites.
 * A portfolio detailing your prior work with design examples, wireframes, design evolution and results, either enclosed with or linked from your CV.
 * Strong communication skills, with the ability to make a good case and converse with people from a variety of backgrounds, both within the company and as clients.
 * Experience running focused usability studies without leading the subject, interpreting the results and feeding back into the development process.
 * The ability to deliver both usability (the primary focus) and also aesthetics, including relevant familiarity with HTML/CSS. Software engineering skills are not required.

With a friendly and accessible Cambridge office, the company are happy for people to work primarily remotely, or with more time spent in the office if you prefer. There will be the need to periodically visit the team in Cambridge and potentially clients, hence you'll be willing to travel as required (typically a dozen days per year) and you will be UK based with full existing work permission.
