About the role Are you looking for an opportunity to use and develop your design experience working on a complex and meaningful product used by tens of thousands of professionals? We’re on the hunt for a Product Designer to help improve and extend our product functionality and user experience. You’ll work in a fast-paced growing environment helping to deliver customer improvements at pace, and we need someone who can balance short-term pragmatism with long-term ambition. Working alongside two other Product Designers, this is a great opportunity for someone who wants to input into our overall product design vision, improve our design processes, and provide end-to-end design support to our engineering teams. What you'll do Working closely with our Tech Leads and Product Managers you will be completing UX and UI design activities across the software development lifecycle. Take briefs from Product Managers and deliver logical, scalable and consistent design work that meet requirements and work within technical constraints. Help Product Managers and Engineers understand different solutions to problems, educating where necessary on the strengths and benefits to different approaches. Use your expertise to regularly provide ad hoc design guidance and advice to Engineers. Contribute to our growing UI kit and ensure greater consistency by using it over time. Suggest changes to design process in an environment where your opinion will be heard. Aid Product Managers in feature discovery and design validation. Take an active role in QA – reviewing implemented work against designs and providing clear feedback to Engineers. About you A good blend of visual, UI and UX skills – highly competent using Figma for high-fidelity designs, but equally comfortable sketching out user journeys on a whiteboard. Experience working on complex enterprise software flows – think dependencies, validation, accessibility and considering edge-cases. A team player – prepared to make compromises in the short-term for the better of the team, suggesting and tactically using different deliverables based on timescales and priorities. A drive to learn and improve, both individually but also for Dayshape and the design function. Self-assured – happy explaining why design decisions have been made and providing ad hoc feedback and advice to a large Engineering team. Comfortable presenting and explaining work to both internal and external stakeholders. Proactive mindset and adaptability – Dayshape is a place where everyone can drive change if they take initiative. Experience working on an established product – making incremental improvements to a live product with a large user base – not just experience in new products or greenfield features. Great at asking awkward questions, kindly. Bonus points if you have Experience in discovery and/or validation of design concepts with users e.g. usability testing. Basic technical awareness (e.g. HTML/CSS/front-end frameworks and data) to be able to understand technical concepts in conversation with Engineers. Prior experience, or awareness, in designing for accessibility. Awareness of basic resource management principles (time, management, scheduling, budgets) or ERP/ HCM software (e.g. Workday, Salesforce) What you'll get Starting salary between £36,000 and £44,000, depending on experience At least £1,000 per year to spend on professional and personal development 33 days' holiday per year (including bank holidays), increasing by 1 day each year to a maximum of 40 days Paid four week sabbatical in your fifth anniversary year on top of your holiday entitlement Enhanced family leave policies Private healthcare and rewards through Vitality Income protection and death in service cover Matched 5% auto-enrolment workplace pension scheme Access to wellbeing offerings, such as our Employee Assistance Programme and a dedicated counselling service Innovation Week twice a year - a chance to experiment and work off-project Volunteering time – up to 20 hours a year to participate in volunteer work.
