  • Influence and educate internal teams and clients on UX design strategy and approaches

  • Build and manage strong stakeholder relationships, while confidently managing difficult conversations when necessary

  • Offer line management, mentoring, or training to interaction designers and junior team members

  • Support recruitment, community events, business development, and the promotion of the consultancy’s design capability

  • Contribute thought leadership through blogs, talks, and engagement in the wider UX community

Skills & Experience Required

  • Strong background in UX design with a portfolio demonstrating impact across diverse sectors

  • Experience working in Agile, multidisciplinary teams to deliver user-centred services

  • Proven track record designing for accessibility and inclusive digital experiences

  • Advanced stakeholder engagement and communication skills, including the ability to manage conflict and present complex ideas clearly

  • Experience leading or mentoring UX professionals or interaction designers

  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity, defining problem spaces, and proposing strategic design solutions

  • Strong consultancy skills, with the ability to build client confidence and guide project direction effectively
