• Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and Front-end teams
• Work effectively within design systems, contributing updates or refinements where required
• Design for both headed and headless CMS-based architectures, ensuring flexibility and scalability
• Participate in design reviews and provide clear rationale for design decisions
• Deliver designs that balance brand expression, usability, and technical feasibility
• Required Skills & Experience
• Proven experience as a Product Designer or UI Designer on digital products
• Strong UI design expertise with a high bar for visual quality and detail
• Solid understanding of design systems, component-based design, and scalable UI patterns
• Experience working in headed and headless setups (e.g., CMS-driven or decoupled front-end architectures)
• Proficiency with modern design tools (e.g., Figma or equivalent)
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines

Preferred Experience

• Experience supporting brand refresh or rebranding initiatives
• Exposure to enterprise-scale or consumer-facing digital platforms
• Understanding of accessibility standards and inclusive design practices

Footnote

• This is a hands-on delivery role, not a strategic-only design position
• Portfolio must demonstrate strong UI craft and visual design maturity
• Candidates should be comfortable working on-site or hybrid from One Braham, Snowhill, or Bristol
