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 6-month fixed-term contract with a hybrid working arrangement, giving you the flexibility to balance your professional and personal commitments. You'll work 2 days per week from either our Glasgow or Dundee office, with the remaining days working remotely.
The Role
Are you a passionate design leader who enjoys transforming complex challenges into intuitive, human-centred digital experiences?
In this influential role, you'll help shape the future of our design systems, champion accessible and inclusive design, and empower fellow designers through coaching and mentorship. You'll join a collaborative, supportive environment where your ideas are valued, innovation is encouraged, and your professional growth is supported.
We're looking for someone with a genuine passion for inclusive design, strong communication skills, and a collaborative mindset. If your experience aligns with many of the skills we're looking for, we'd love to hear from you—even if you don't meet every single requirement. We know that great candidates come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences.
Key aspects of the role include:
- Journey & Pattern Leadership: Leading interaction design for complex initiatives and shaping core interaction patterns across our design system.
- Visual Evolution & Brand Direction: Evolving visual languages to match brand and tech changes, setting the creative direction for major initiatives.
- Design System Governance: Defining clear, intuitive guidelines and principles to ensure consistency across digital products.
- Inclusive Design & Accessibility: Championing accessibility audits and embedding inclusive design practices into every stage of the product lifecycle.
- Strategic Experimentation: Driving A/B testing and experimentation strategies that connect design to real user needs and business goals.
- Mentorship & Support: Guiding, encouraging, and elevating junior team members to help them reach their full potential.
- Collaborative Prototyping: Connecting user-centered concepts with technical feasibility to bring transformative digital ideas to life.
