This role is initially offered on a fixed-term basis, with the potential to become a permanent position, subject to business needs and individual performance.
We work with ambitious clients to help them solve their biggest business and customer challenges. We help our clients to innovate and create intelligent digital products and services. We thrive on complex challenges and deliver business-critical IT transformation projects, moving seamlessly from strategy, design and delivery to operations.
This is a Hybrid role, offering the flexibility to balance your professional and personal life, with 2 days a week spent connecting with colleagues in our Glasgow or Dundee office.
The Role
We're looking for a Product Designer who is ready to own the interaction and user experience for individual features or smaller projects. In this role, you’ll be an essential bridge between strategy, design, and delivery, helping to deliver high-quality, user-centric solutions.
This is more than just making things look good—it's about meticulous design thinking and ensuring every user flow is intuitive, accessible, and aligned with existing design systems.
We're looking for a motivated individual with a passion for inclusive design and excellent communication skills. If you see yourself in the skills below, we strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don't tick every box!
Key aspects of the role include:
- Interaction Mastery: Take full ownership of interaction design at the feature level, meticulously mapping out happy paths, unhappy paths, and error states.
- Inclusive Design Champion: Apply accessibility (WCAG) patterns, check designs, and support inclusive language and testing practices to ensure broad usability for diverse users.
- Prototyping & Documentation: Build low-fidelity and interactive prototypes using tools like Figma, Framer, or Bolt, and document interaction expectations for development teams.
- Responsive Interface Design: Design responsive interfaces and basic interactions, aligning all work to the existing design system.
- Testing & Evaluation: Design and execute user tests, including writing clear hypotheses and success criteria, and collaborating on dashboards for tracking user feedback.
