The Team & Role

As a Product Designer at Nourish, you'll advocate for our end users through practical design thinking, ideally framed around the Lean UX methodology, working closely with your counterparts in Product and Engineering. You'll take ownership of clearly scoped features and flows from research through to delivery, with support and mentorship from Senior and Lead designers close at hand.

The Product Design team at Nourish balances design thinking, research acumen, information architecture and technical knowledge to create products that are usable, functional, simple and intuitive at scale. This role is about building that judgement with real ownership and the right amount of support, not about defining strategy or working unsupervised across multiple product areas.

Key Responsibilities

• User Research: Conducts user research with guidance from our UXR to understand user needs, behaviours and pain points. Uses methods such as interviews, surveys and usability testing, and turns findings into actionable takeaways.
• Design and Prototyping: Creates wireframes, user flows and other design assets to communicate design ideas clearly. Builds high fidelity prototypes to illustrate concepts and interactions, working with the Product Manager and Lead Developer to check feasibility and value of design solutions.
• User Testing: Plans and runs usability testing sessions to gather feedback on prototypes, with support from more senior designers or UXR on approach. Analyses feedback and metrics to iterate on and improve designs, and presents findings to the wider team.
• Collaboration and Communication: Works closely with Product Managers to understand user needs, product goals and business objectives. Partners with Lead Engineers to make sure designs are implemented accurately, and contributes actively to design discussions and critiques.
• Design System: Applies the design system correctly and consistently within their own product area, and flags gaps or inconsistencies to the design systems team rather than solving them unilaterally.
• Documentation: Documents design decisions and rationale for their own work to ensure continuity and clarity. Creates clear design specifications and handoff documents for development.

Requirements

• Experience: Around 2 to 4 years proven experience in a UX or Product Design role, ideally within a collaborative, cross functional team structure. SaaS B2B experience is a plus but not essential.
• Technical/Functional Alignment: Proficiency in Figma, with some experience across more than one sub discipline such as interaction design, information architecture, research, visual design or UI design. Solid grounding in user centred design principles and accessibility standards such as WCAG, with some experience designing for both web and mobile.
• Sector Interest: A genuine interest in the UK social care sector and how technology can improve interoperability.
• Mindset: A pragmatic, collaborative and warm approach to problem solving. Works well in an iterative process and adapts comfortably to evolving project needs, comfortable running research methods such as interviews, surveys and usability testing with light guidance. Experience within Agile or Scrum frameworks is an advantage.
