Senior UI Designer

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior UI designer with 3+ years of commercial experience to join the Tangent design team. We don’t mind if you’ve worked in-house or at an agency. What’s most important to us is that you’ve launched digital products at scale, leading the process of applying UI.

Tangent has a global client base across sectors, meaning you will get the opportunity to work on cutting edge design problems. That can be everything from websites, portals, apps to internal tools that drive our client’s businesses.

Our core design team is based in the UK but working remote. This has given us the opportunity to recruit further afield in other countries. Our initial target areas are the UK, Spain and South Africa. But we are open to speaking with Lead product designers based in time zones within 2 hours of the UK.

You are welcome to work 100% remote or hybrid from our London Kings Cross or Valencia offices. For applicants from overseas, we will fly you over at least once a year to attend our London social events and help build in-person relationships with the team. We’re happy for you to work in a way that suits you best.

  • Have a passion for creative and all things UI, create beautiful digital experiences that are accessible, intuitive, consistent and delightful
  • Create and manage design systems using Figma
  • Collaborate with UX colleagues to create prototypes and validate ideas through user testing
  • Support developers to ensure final product matches design vision
  • Help train other designers to improve their own UI and design system skills

 

We want to see

  • A strong portfolio that illustrates your design talent and the impact of your design work
  • Highly skilled in creating & managing design systems using atomic methodologies in Figma
  • Excellent communicator, able to articulate your design decisions to clients and colleagues
  • Experience with mentoring other designers and the ambition to grow into a lead role
