Will Gregory Recruitment Director

Are you an ambitious intermediate UX / UI Designer who wants to step up to senior ranks? Do you want to join a fearless tech business that cleverly connects users with industry professionals, all within a beautiful digital ecosystem with multiple product offerings?

Keen to work in a business with solid financial backing, big budgets, global audiences, alongside mature user experience design, product and engineering teams?

On behalf of our client The Pond Recruitment is searching for a talented UX/UI Designer to join a mature tech start-up.

You’ll be a high-intermediate level UX’er looking to step up into your first big senior status role. You’ll be no stranger to creating intelligent, yet simple user experiences, guided user journeys, and stunning user interfaces that surprise and delight. You could be someone from a digital or experience agency looking to move SaaS/client-side, but still retain variety of work. Or you could be someone wanting to stay client/SaaS-side and looking to work on more complex projects and products, with much bigger budgets.

The day-to-day responsibilities will require you to plan and conduct end-to-end design activities from wireframing to user testing and work collaboratively with the other designers, engineers, and product owners in creating beautiful end-product experiences that cleverly connect users with industry professionals and practitioners.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of the development process, sharp design thinking, understand best practices concerning UX/UI, and an innate desire to deliver world-class solutions through collaboration and empathy-led design.
