Help shape a new publishing product, from its first user journeys and visual identity through to launch.
CoEditor is the technology arm of OQS Media, a software business within the group. We work with our own platforms and other publishers to develop innovative solutions for the publishing industry.
We're looking for a talented midweight Product Designer with strong UI and UX skills, good product instincts, and the initiative to turn an early idea into a useful, beautifully designed product.
Working directly with the CEO and alongside developers, you'll own the design from start to finish. You'll help define what we build, how it works, and how it looks, while helping keep the project moving towards launch.
This is an opportunity for a designer who enjoys taking responsibility beyond the design file. Your main strength will be design, supported by the organisation and communication skills to help coordinate delivery and make practical decisions about priorities.
What You'll Do
- Work directly with the CEO to translate the product vision into clear user journeys, prototypes, and designs
- Understand the needs of publishers and their users, using research and feedback to inform your decisions
- Develop the product's visual identity and carry it consistently through the interface
- Own the UI and UX, creating intuitive, accessible experiences with strong attention to detail
- Build and maintain a practical design system as the product develops
- Help shape the initial product scope, challenge unnecessary complexity, and identify what matters most for launch
- Work closely with developers to explain designs, address constraints, and review implementation
- Help coordinate priorities, milestones, and feedback so the project keeps moving
- Refine the product through testing, launch feedback, and ongoing use
