Job Overview
The organisation is seeking a Senior UI/UX Designer to lead the development and refinement of the visual and interactive experience of a growing digital product. This position centres on design systems, prototyping, and website experience development rather than solely producing handoff-ready visuals.
The successful candidate will take full ownership of how product and marketing interfaces are conceptualised, structured, documented, and maintained. Responsibilities include establishing and managing a comprehensive design system, producing high-fidelity prototypes in Figma, and converting approved designs into fully functional websites using platforms such as Webflow or Framer.
This opportunity is well suited to a design professional who values structure, consistency, and accountability, and who thrives in an early-stage environment where design choices have a direct and meaningful impact on the overall user experience.
The ideal candidate prioritises usability, clarity, and scalable design frameworks over purely decorative aesthetics, ensuring that design solutions remain functional, purposeful, and growth-oriented.
