About the role

As a Senior UX/UI Designer at PA Consulting, you’ll design practical, usable interfaces and flows that move products from 0 --> 1 and beyond. You’ll sometimes sit at the heart of multidisciplinary delivery teams and sometimes contribute as an individual designer embedded with a client—all while staying connected to our Design discipline and the wider Digital & Data community.

You’ll flex to different contexts—one week shaping product UI for a global consumer brand, the next helping visualise journeys for a UK services client—always focused on real outcomes and pragmatic craft-proud delivery.

What you’ll do

• Design user journeys, flows, wireframes, prototypes (manually and using Figma Make, or similar generative platforms) and UI that support shipping working software across web and mobile
• Take concepts from concept to production‑ready designs and iterate based on evidence or judgement and market‑leading best practices
• Work at pace in agile dual‑track cycles (discovery and delivery), adapting scope and fidelity as needed to meet the goals of both projects, organisations and users alike
• Often partner with engineering, product and other designers to make practical decisions quickly both on and off projects
• Contribute to and use design systems; keep patterns consistent and accessible.
• Apply AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Miro, ChatGPT, Claude, agentic workflows, and other generative tooling) to speed ideation, auditing, documentation and analysis
• Facilitate client workshops, whiteboarding and design reviews, present decisions clearly

Qualifications

Who you are

• A hands‑on Senior UX/UI practitioner with shipped product experience
• Comfortable balancing best practice with technical constraints and timelines
• Clear and concise when explaining design decisions to any audience
• Curious and experimental with AI‑enabled design workflows
• A constructive challenger who can reframe problems and propose workable options
• Collaborative, adaptable and energised by multidisciplinary delivery

How you operate

• Break down ambiguity into concrete steps; keep momentum without losing quality
• Use AI intentionally to explore options faster and document decisions — never as a crutch
• Share early, invite critique, and iterate with evidenceSwitch fluidly between team‑based delivery and individual contributor setups
• Stay pragmatic: focus on value, feasibility and the next right increment
• Fun, creative, energetic and contagiously optimistic

Why this role may not be the right fit

• If you prefer a one‑size‑fits‑all process or fixed toolkit for every problem
• If you’re uncomfortable with client‑facing work, facilitation and (sometimes) frequently changing contexts
• If you want long‑term, single‑product stability over varied, time‑boxed consulting engagements
• If you avoid feedback loops or aren’t comfortable sharing work early
• If you’re not open to using AI in your workflow or to actively learning, applying and sharing new tools
• If you need strict role boundaries and don’t want to flex to adjacent design activities
