Senior User Experience Designer

We’re looking for a passionate, collaborative and rigorous Senior UX Designer with an exceptional grasp of interaction fundamentals, a sharp eye for user behaviour, and the experience to translate complex problems into clear, considered design. We’re hired to create wholly new products and experiences, so we’re as much inventors as designers. If you want to design the user experiences of the future, then this could be for you., At Native, you’ll work with some of the world’s best designers, developers, anthropologists, strategists, and engineers to make work that pushes boundaries, challenges perceptions, and - occasionally - changes the world., * Private Healthcare: Bupa private medical insurance, including 24/7 GP access, mental health support, and specialist care. A health and wellness cashback plan.

• Wellbeing & Fitness: 40% discount across the Hussle Gym network. Access to YuLife wellbeing and fitness benefits, including mindfulness resources, company-wide challenges and cash rewards.
• Professional Development: Opportunities for learning and development, access to industry talks, exhibitions, and visiting speakers.
• Studio Culture: Regular company events and studio activities throughout the year.
• Location: Our Shoreditch studio is well connected and surrounded by a vibrant design and technology community.
• Independent Studio: Native has operated independently in East London for over twenty years. We are committed to long-term thinking, craft, and delivering thoughtful innovation without compromise.

We expect proficiency in Figma, Miro, and Adobe Creative Suite. That’s a given, but here are other attributes we hope to find in our next Senior UX Designer:

• Experienced & Agency-Tested: You’ve honed your skills in a fast-paced, creative agency environment, where you’ve delivered high-impact work across a range of industries and product types.
• Prototype Centric: You love use, build and test prototypes to prove what works. Your prototypes are equally considered - from rough concept through to detailed, accurate handoff.
• Systems Thinker: You understand how individual screens and interactions connect to form a coherent whole. You think in flows, states, and structures - not just moments.
• Platform Agnostic: You have experience - or a strong appetite - for designing beyond screen-based interfaces. Embedded devices, connected hardware, and cross-platform ecosystems are contexts you can navigate confidently.
• AI-Fluent: You understand what it means to design for AI-driven experiences - conversational interfaces, adaptive systems, and non-linear interactions. You know when the traditional UX playbook applies and when it doesn’t.
• Storyteller: You don’t just design, you shape narratives. You can articulate the thinking behind your work in a way that resonates with clients, teams, and users alike.
• Cross-Disciplinary: You work fluidly alongside visual designers, researchers, and engineers. You understand enough about each discipline to collaborate without friction. You design with accessibility in mind and have a solid working knowledge of WCAG.
• Craft-Led: You’re precise about hierarchy, flow, and interaction detail. Your documentation is clear, your handoffs are clean, and your standards are high.
• Adaptable: We’re not afraid to scrap an idea. Sometimes, we build it, test it, and start again. If this doesn’t fill you with dread, and you’re excited by the idea of being the person who helps shape what comes next, you’ll make the work of your life at Native.
• Supportive: You’re at a stage where you naturally support more junior designers - sharing your thinking, giving useful feedback, and raising the quality of work around you. You’re not just delivering your own work well; you’re helping others do the same.
• Passionate: A passion for what you do is essential. We believe the best creatives genuinely enjoy their work.

We’ll ask to see a portfolio that demonstrates your UX process and decision-making, not just the end result.
