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.
