Head of UX/UI
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Head of UX/UI based in United Kingdom.
This is a senior design leadership role with end-to-end ownership of the user experience across a complex B2B SaaS platform. You will lead an established design team while remaining deeply involved in hands-on product design and the highest-impact initiatives. The role spans multiple user groups, requiring intuitive, efficient experiences that address different goals and workflows. You will shape the design function, establish quality standards, and build scalable processes alongside Product and Engineering. From research and early concepts through high-fidelity designs, systems, and engineering handoff, you will influence the full product lifecycle. This is an environment that values speed, autonomy, strong design craft, and measurable impact on product adoption and engagement.
Accountabilities
- Lead, manage, and mentor the existing design team, establishing high standards for design quality, process, collaboration, and delivery.
- Run regular design critiques and provide clear, actionable feedback that strengthens individual capabilities and creates a consistent quality bar across the team.
- Own and continuously improve the design process, including project scoping, reviews, collaboration, handoff, and measurement.
- Define future design-team structures, roles, and hiring needs, including portfolio evaluation and recruitment as the organization scales.
- Act as a key connection point between Design, Product, and Engineering, representing user needs and ensuring design decisions are understood and incorporated into product planning.
- Remain hands-on as an individual contributor, personally leading the most complex and highest-leverage design initiatives.
- Own the UX/UI vision across the full product, from early concepts and wireframes through high-fidelity designs and engineering-ready specifications.
- Design experiences for multiple user groups with distinct needs, mental models, and goals, ensuring each workflow remains intuitive, efficient, and engaging.
- Build and maintain a scalable Figma-based design system, including design tokens, components, variables, and reusable patterns.
- Own the design-to-engineering handoff process, providing sufficiently detailed specifications to ensure accurate implementation.
- Lead user research and usability testing to understand real user behavior and translate insights into meaningful product improvements.
- Identify friction points proactively and design solutions that improve usability, adoption, engagement, and task completion.
- Track and communicate the business impact of design, using product and user metrics to prioritize initiatives and demonstrate the value of UX/UI.
- Balance team leadership and individual design execution as equally important parts of the role.
