Job Description
Middleweight UX/UI Designer
Location: Leeds (Hybrid – 3 days per week onsite)
Salary: Up to £42,000 (DOE) + discretionary bonus
The opportunity
We’re looking for a Middleweight UX/UI Designer to join the design team within a growing, employee-owned digital agency.
This is a specialist UX/UI role rather than a general digital or graphic design position. You’ll combine strong UX thinking with polished UI design, creating user-centred digital experiences across websites, digital platforms and interactive campaigns.
You’ll take ownership of UX/UI work from discovery and early-stage definition through to user journeys, wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity interface design, developer handover and quality assurance.
You’ll join a collaborative, values-driven environment with a strong emphasis on quality, ownership and long-term development.
What you’ll be doing
As a UX/UI Designer, you’ll work across a variety of client projects and retainers, collaborating closely with designers, developers, project managers and client teams.
Key responsibilities include:
Creating customer journeys, user flows, sitemaps and information architecture
Producing wireframes and interactive prototypes to communicate functionality and user behaviour
Designing polished, responsive and accessible digital interfaces
Translating user research, business requirements and technical considerations into intuitive digital experiences
Contributing to user research, stakeholder interviews, competitor reviews and usability testing
Building and maintaining scalable design systems, components and reusable patterns in Figma
Working closely with developers to ensure designs are technically achievable and implemented effectively
Preparing detailed developer handovers and supporting design QA throughout development
Presenting concepts and design decisions clearly to internal teams and clients
Using analytics, user behaviour and research insights to identify opportunities to improve usability, conversion and customer experience
What we’re looking for
Essential experience:
Around 2 to 5 years' professional UX/UI design experience, ideally within an agency or similarly fast-paced environment
A strong portfolio demonstrating both UX thinking and high-quality UI design
Strong Figma skills, including components, auto layout, prototyping and design systems
Experience with user journeys, information architecture, wireframing and prototyping
Strong responsive web and digital interface design experience across desktop and mobile
Experience translating research and business requirements into clear user experiences
Good understanding of accessibility and inclusive design principles
Experience collaborating directly with developers
Confidence presenting work and explaining the rationale behind design decisions
Ability to manage multiple projects and take ownership of your own delivery
Desirable / bonus experience:
Experience with Webflow
Conversion rate optimisation, experimentation or A/B testing experience
Familiarity with GA4, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity or similar tools
Experience conducting user interviews or usability testing
Experience designing interactive campaigns, digital activations, tools, games or quizzes
Familiarity with HTML and CSS
Experience working on content-rich, service-led or lead-generation websites
About you
You’re a thoughtful UX/UI Designer who enjoys understanding the problem before jumping into the solution.
You’re equally comfortable defining customer journeys and information architecture as you are creating polished, engaging interfaces. You care about the detail, but can also explain why you’ve made a design decision and how it supports users and wider business objectives.
You’re collaborative, organised and comfortable taking ownership of your work while working across multiple projects in a fast-paced digital environment.
Benefits & culture
We’re committed to creating an environment where people can do their best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Our benefits include:
25 days holiday + bank holidays (increasing with service)
Company performance-linked bonus scheme
Comprehensive private health insurance
5% company pension scheme
Access to your own financial coach
Mental health support
Free on-site gym
Hybrid working and flexible hours
Structured personal development and progression opportunities
Award-winning office space
Your birthday off
Regular socials, team events and summer parties
