We’re hiring a senior designer to lead projects, not just work on them. You’ll own a few client projects at a time, with one or two designers helping you execute. Chris stays close to clients at the top level. Day to day, you’re the design lead: you set the direction, split up the work, review it and keep it moving.
What you’ll do
Lead two or
threeclient projects at a time, from brief to handoverBe the design lead clients work with day to day: run reviews, present decisions and handle feedback
Plan and allocate work across one or two designers, and review what they produce
Own user flows end to end: map the journey, cover the edge cases, design every state
Design high-fidelity UI with sharp attention to spacing, type, hierarchy and consistency
Prototype core flows in Claude Code so clients can feel the product, not just see it
Create design systems from scratch, and extend existing client systems in Figma
Keep files, updates and handovers clean enough that anyone can pick them up
What we’re looking for
6+ years in product design, with shipped work on web and mobile products
Experience leading projects and guiding other designers
Confident with clients: you can run a review, defend a decision and push back when needed
A portfolio that shows complex flows and the thinking behind them, not just polished screens
Strong grasp of UX and UI patterns, and the judgement to know when to break them
Advanced Figma: auto layout, components, variants, variables
Hands-on experience prototyping with Claude Code or similar AI coding tools
Organised and reliable: you plan the work, hit dates and flag risks early
Clear, professional written English
Nice to have
Experience creating and running design systems: tokens, components, documentation, governance
Experience designing AI products, agents or conversational interfaces
Crypto, DeFi or fintech product experience
Front-end familiarity (React, Tailwind) beyond prototyping
An agency or studio background, used to working across multiple clients
