Design for enterprise innovation: Develop wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that simplify workflows for technical users while addressing enterprise-scale challenges.
Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with Delivery Leads, Data Scientists, and Simulation Engineers to deliver designs that are both innovative and technically feasible.
Facilitate workshops and alignment sessions: Engage stakeholders through workshops and presentations to align on vision and ensure decision-making throughout the design process.
Iterate for impact: Use user testing, analytics, and feedback to refine and optimise designs for maximum usability and impact.
Champion user-centred practices: Advocate for best practices across teams while balancing commercial objectives and client needs.
Mentor and elevate: Guide junior designers, fostering a culture of excellence in design across the organisation.
Occasional travel to the US for client meetings and project work
What you will bring
Experience: 5+ years of experience delivering end-to-end design projects, ideally within an agency, consultancy, or enterprise context.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Design, HCI, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
Technical expertise: A deep portfolio showcasing experience in enterprise UX/UI design, with a focus on solving complex problems and delivering scalable solutions.
Tools: Proficiency in design tools like Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and research platforms such as Dovetail.
Communication skills: Strong presentation and communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate design decisions to diverse stakeholders.
Bonus points: Experience working with AI/ML interfaces, designing for data-heavy applications, working in an Engineering environment or familiarity with 3D tools (e.g., Blender, Houdini, Unity3D).
