Senior UX Designer

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

We're building the world's first visual modelling solution for corporate structures and transactions. Our mission is to transform the way that professionals work with complex information. Taking what's traditionally found in impenetrable, text-based legal documents, StructureFlow enables users to dynamically collate, visualise and model information holistically, enabling professionals to cut through complexity through the power of visual working.

StructureFlow has just secured Series A funding. We are growing fast and are at an exciting stage of scaling up. We have great traction today, working with over 50 highly engaged international law firms including 3/5 of the UK Magic Circle and a sizable segment of the US AMLAW 200.

As a Senior UX designer at StructureFlow, you will be primarily responsible for ensuring that the application we create delivers exceptional UX outcomes for our users and exceptional value for the StructureFlow business.

The users of our platform are leading lawyers, accountants and finance professionals who have rigorous standards in terms of the approach to their work and the technology they use to help them accomplish it. You will be someone who can immerse themselves fully in the complex workflows of our users, and translate their understanding into an intuitive, engaging, and easy-to-use application experience.

StructureFlow has a dynamic, remote-first culture. We will provide all equipment for working from home, and our office in Central London offers a working space to use if you need or want it.

5. Partner with product managers, developers and stakeholders to craft engaging user experiences that seamlessly connect real world and digital interactions.
6. Create user personas, user journeys, user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity visual designs to effectively communicate design ideas and actively seek out feedback at all phases of the design process.
7. Partner with product managers and developers to ensure that features are feasible and implemented to the highest standards of usability.
8. Continue the creation, development and maintenance of our design system.
9. Help build the culture of the design team, including line management and coaching for more junior members.
10. Ensure that best practices and industry trends in UX design are followed within our application and processes, keeping up to date with the latest trends and technologies.

You will have:

1. A minimum of 5 years proven experience as a UX designer, ideally with a degree or equivalent in Human Computer Interaction, UX, or a related discipline.
2. A strong portfolio demonstrating design thinking and expertise in designing complex web or application features and interfaces, preferably in a B2B context.
3. Demonstrable experience with KPIs, metrics and analytics.
4. A passion for creating products and experiences that resonate with people and drive changes in their behaviour, with a strong focus on user-centred design principles and methodologies.
5. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate user needs and business requirements into effective design solutions.
6. Experience in user research, usability testing and persona creation.
7. Strong visual design skills with proficiency in UX design tools including Figma.
8. Excellent written and verbal communication and collaboration skills to effectively present and articulate design concepts and rationale to end users and stakeholders.
9. A meticulous and diligent approach, you will be a highly self-organised, analytical thinker, who can work autonomously with close attention to detail.

It would be a bonus if you also have:

• Experience in working on a canvas-based application or visual collaboration tool.
• Experience in legal technology or financial technology.
• Experience of working with AI technologies such as NLP or Open AI.

Process

Our process is designed to give us a good understanding of your skills, and what you would bring to this role. To help us get a good view of what you've worked on, please provide a link to your portfolio.

Our first stage will be a video call with our Chief Product Officer where we will discover more about your journey and also ask you to present a case study that showcases your end-to-end UX design skills and relates to the requirements we have for the role.

Following this, we will arrange a whiteboard challenge and panel interview, which is designed to see how you collaborate with others and approach solving a UX problem. You'll meet others in the product and technology team during this stage.

The final round will be a chance to meet the wider team at StructureFlow. A panel of two or three of the team will ask you questions, but also give you chance to ask more about the company too.

Job offers will be subject to appropriate referencing and a criminal record and barring check.

We believe that having diverse teams in which everyone can be their authentic self is key to our success. We encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply.
