About Acting Office
Acting Office is the practice-management platform built for UK accountants. We bring CRM, AML, bookkeeping, MTD VAT, SA100, CT600, and payroll into a single connected workflow, replacing the tangle of spreadsheets and disconnected tools that most practices still rely on.
We’re growing fast, and design sits at the centre of how we compete. We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to help us turn genuinely complex accounting work into software people actually enjoy using.
The Role
You’ll own product design across the full lifecycle, from discovery and research through to high-fidelity UI, prototyping, developer handoff, and post-launch iteration. Working alongside Product Managers, Engineers, and business stakeholders, you’ll take intricate accounting workflows and shape them into clear, scalable, confident experiences. Beyond the product itself, you’ll help shape the broader Acting Office design experience across our website, marketing initiatives, events, and brand communications, ensuring a consistent and high-quality visual identity across every customer touchpoint.
What you'll do
- Lead the full design lifecycle for new features and improvements, including research, interaction design, UI, prototyping, and QA.
- Simplify sophisticated, data-heavy workflows into interfaces that reduce friction and get the job done.
- Build and evolve our design system so the whole product stays consistent, accessible, and quick to ship.
- Work closely with Engineers through build to protect implementation quality and refine based on real feedback.

What we're looking for
- 7+ years designing complex SaaS, enterprise, or workflow-driven web applications.
- A portfolio that shows your thinking, not just your screens: the problem, your process, the decisions, and the outcomes.
- Expert Figma skills across Auto Layout, Variables, Components, Design Systems, and Prototyping.
- Strong grounding in UX, interaction design, information architecture, and accessibility.
- Hands-on experience running research and usability testing and turning findings into shipped improvements.
- Clear communication and the confidence to present and defend design decisions with stakeholders at any level.
- Comfortable working across both product and brand design, contributing to user experiences, website enhancements, marketing campaigns, presentations, and event collateral while maintaining a cohesive visual identity.

- Key benefits: pension, holiday allowance, and a budget for the software tools you need to do your best work.
Real ownership over design at a growing UK product company, and the room to shape how we build. We want the strongest team we can build, and we know great people don’t always tick every box.
