Our client, a leading global professional services organisation, is seeking a UI/UX Designer to join a fast-paced environment and support the development of a high-quality mobile app. In this role, you will contribute to the creation and delivery of user-centred digital products, focusing on designing solutions that meet user needs, align with business goals, and integrate seamlessly with technology.

This is a hands-on role involving user research, interaction design, visual design, prototyping, and close collaboration with cross-functional teams. You will also gain exposure to product strategy, design systems, and emerging technologies.

  • Iterate on designs based on feedback from users, stakeholders, and Developers.

  • Assist in conducting user research, such as interviews, surveys, and usability tests, to understand user behaviours and needs.
  • Analyse research findings and support the creation of personas, journey maps, and other user-centred artifacts.
  • Benchmark competitors and industry best practices to inform design decisions.

Interaction & Visual Design

  • Define information architecture, user flows, and interaction models for clear and intuitive experiences.
  • Develop low- to mid-fidelity wireframes and translate them into polished UI designs.
  • Build interactive prototypes to test concepts and gather feedback from users and stakeholders.

Collaboration & Communication

  • Work closely with Product Owners, Developers, and other Designers to deliver features that meet business and user needs.
  • Participate in agile ceremonies, providing design input to sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
  • Present design concepts and rationale to peers and stakeholders in a clear, engaging manner.
  • Support team knowledge sharing by documenting design decisions and contributing to case studies or design showcases.

Testing & Continuous Improvement

  • Assist with usability testing and A/B testing to validate design solutions.
  • Apply insights from data, user feedback, and testing to improve product experiences.
  • Stay current with UX/UI trends, tools, and methodologies to continuously improve skills and practice.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years in UX, UI, and product design, ideally in consultancy or digital product environments.
  • Tertiary qualification in Design, HCI, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience with Figma, prototyping tools and the MS Office suite.
  • Understanding of user-centred design principles, accessibility, and responsive design.
  • Strong visual design and interaction design skills, with attention to detail.
  • Portfolio demonstrating design work, problem-solving, and execution across UX and UI.
