Job Description
About the Role
As a Senior Interaction Designer, you will design how users interact with digital services, defining flows, behaviours, and interface patterns that enable intuitive, accessible experiences.
Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will translate user needs and service requirements into clear interaction models, ensuring that services are usable, consistent, and aligned with modern design standards.
You will play a key role in bridging design and engineering, ensuring that interactions are not only well-designed but also technically feasible and implemented to a high standard.
Key Responsibilities
- Design detailed interaction patterns, user flows, and interface behaviours for complex digital services
- Create high-fidelity prototypes to communicate interaction logic, validate design decisions, and support delivery
- Define micro-interactions, system states, validation patterns, and edge cases to ensure robust user experiences
- Apply and extend design systems, including GOV.UK Design System, contributing reusable components and patterns
- Collaborate closely with engineers to ensure designs are implemented accurately and meet accessibility and performance requirements
- Ensure all designs meet WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards and responsive design principles
- Work closely with user researchers and UX designers to iterate interactions based on evidence and feedback
- Contribute to end-to-end service design, ensuring interactions align across journeys and touchpoints
- Maintain consistency across products through contribution to shared component libraries and design standards
- Document interaction specifications clearly to support development and handover
