Senior Interaction Designer - London, Manchester or Bristol
The Incubator for Artificial Intelligence (i.AI) is a team of about 80 builders and operators within the UK Government who use frontier AI to improve public services in healthcare, education, planning and parliament. We work at startup pace, with startup autonomy, on problems that affect the whole country. We are now looking for a Senior Interaction Designer to help decide how millions of people will experience AI in government.
What will I be doing?
- Design usable products: create flows and interfaces that are accessible, on-brand and grounded in user needs
- Follow the evidence: use research and data to test assumptions and make the case to stakeholders
- Design responsibly: build ethical review and evaluation in early
- Define AI interaction patterns: develop new patterns with teams across i.AI and government
- Lead designers: set the standard for design practice and line manage junior designers
- Contribute beyond your team: take part in i.AI, GDS and cross-government design communities
- Build culture: help create an inclusive team built on honest feedback
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What are we looking for?
- A strong track record in user-centred design in a product-led organisation, and a sense of which methods suit which job
- Experience designing accessible interfaces that work across devices and browsers
- Confidence with design and prototyping tools, including HTML prototyping (AI-assisted is fine)
- Strong collaboration skills: you improve designs through data and research and build good relationships with colleagues and stakeholders
- Clear, persuasive communication, with the ability to align teams when things are uncertain
- Critical thinking: you see the bigger picture and stay focused on the MVP
- A habit of giving back to the design community, for example through talks or blog posts
