-
Ensure accessibility, consistency and quality across the product suite
You’ll be trusted to take ownership of defined problem spaces, delivering thoughtful, well-executed solutions while contributing to the ongoing evolution of design practices.
What We’re Looking For
-
2+ years’ experience in UX/UI design for digital products
-
Strong command of tools such as Figma, Sketch or Adobe Creative Suite
-
Solid understanding of UX principles and accessibility standards
-
Experience conducting usability testing and synthesising insights
-
Ability to design polished, intuitive interfaces with minimal oversight
-
Confidence collaborating cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment
Bonus points for:

Knowledge of HTML, CSS or basic JavaScript
-
Experience in complex or highly technical domains
-
Hands-on moderation of user research sessions
Why Join?
-
Be part of a high-growth, innovation-driven company
-
Work on meaningful, technically sophisticated products
-
Contribute within an employee-owned culture where your voice matters
-
Join a collaborative team that values curiosity, respect and bold thinking
-
Hybrid working with regular collaboration in Edinburgh
