UI/UX Lead

This is a lead role, hands-on UI/UX design role for someone who is genuinely strong across the entire design spectrum - both UX (research, flows, information architecture, usability) and UI (visual craft, design systems, interaction detail). You will own design end-to-end for products and features across our SaaS portfolio, from problem through to polished, production-ready interface and developer handoff.

This is a lead role that combines hands-on design with team leadership. You will be the most experienced designer in the room, set the quality standard through your own work, and manage a team of around five designers - owning their output, priorities, growth, and quality of work. You will still design directly; this is a hands-on leader role, not a pure management seat. You should be comfortable in a high-paced IT / product environment, able to juggle multiple products, and self-directed enough to drive design without hand-holding., * Own the full design process across products: research, flows, wireframes, prototypes, and final UI.

• Conduct user research and usability testing, and turn findings into clear design decisions.
• Design pixel-perfect, responsive interfaces for web and mobile, to a senior standard.
• Make and defend design decisions based on user needs and product goals.

Design Systems & Craft Standard

• Build and maintain design systems, component libraries, and standards across products.
• Set and hold the visual and interaction quality bar - your work is the reference others follow.
• Drive consistency across a portfolio of products, not just individual screens.

Team Leadership & Collaboration

• Manage a team of around five designers - set priorities, review work, hold the quality bar, and

support their growth.

• Partner closely with product managers and developers for clean handoff and faithful

implementation.

• Collaborate with the brand / marketing team to keep product and brand aligned.
• Balance your own hands-on design work with leading the team, at pace, across multiple products.
