Product/UX Designer

North Manchester
£55,000-£60,000 + strong progression
Hybrid after onboarding

One of the North West's most exciting tech and product transformation journeys is continuing to grow.

We're working with a highly successful Manchester business that is heavily investing in technology, product and digital experience, having recently brought in a new Tech Director, Head of Product and Head of Engineering as part of a major transformation programme.

They're now looking for a Product/UX Designer to help shape the next phase of that journey.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys solving genuine product and workflow challenges rather than purely marketing or brand-led design work.

The environment is fast-moving, collaborative and product-focused, with design becoming increasingly central to how the business builds and improves its platforms.

The role

You'll be working on a range of customer-facing products, internal systems and operational platforms used across the business.

A big part of the role is simplifying complex journeys and improving how users interact with data-heavy workflows across areas such as:

  • customer portals
  • billing and account journeys
  • operational tooling
  • usage and reporting platforms
  • internal systems and processes

You'll work closely with Product Managers, Engineers and senior stakeholders, helping influence both the user experience and wider product direction.

There's also a genuine opportunity to help shape and influence the growing UX capability within the business as the team continues to expand.

Why this role stands out

Major tech and product investment
Design becoming a key part of business decisions
Collaborative Product + Engineering culture
Modernisation and transformation projects already underway
Opportunity to mentor and help shape design standards
Complex UX challenges with real business impact
Strong progression opportunities as the team grows

What they're looking for

They're open on background, but ideally someone who has experience working on:

  • SaaS products
  • platforms
  • operational systems
  • internal tooling
  • workflow-heavy applications
  • or complex digital products

The key thing is somebody who enjoys:

  • untangling complexity
  • improving workflows
  • collaborating closely with Product and Engineering
  • and thinking deeply about user experience rather than purely visual design

Tech/tools

Figma, prototyping, design systems, user flows, research and collaborative product design experience are all highly relevant.

Working setup

Initially the role is more office-led while teams continue embedding together, before moving into a more hybrid setup.

The business has built a genuinely strong culture around collaboration, learning and progression, with onsite perks including:

  • free breakfast and lunch
  • onsite gym
  • modern office environment
  • strong team culture

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to join a business at the right stage of growth, where UX and Product are genuinely being invested in and where you can have a visible impact on both the product experience and wider business direction.
