UX & Interaction Design

Design intuitive, consistent user experiences for Ship Sure modules - user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes and high-fidelity UI in Figma.
Translate product requirements and user research into clear interaction patterns for both desktop/web and mobile contexts.
Champion usability and accessibility (WCAG) as first-class requirements across the platform.

Design Delivery & Front-End Collaboration

Partner closely with front-end engineers to bring designs to life - providing detailed specifications, assets and hands-on guidance, and using AI-assisted tools to prototype and iterate where helpful.
Ensure implemented interfaces match the agreed design and behave consistently across modules and devices.
Define reusable, well-structured UI patterns and components for the shared library, in partnership with engineering.

Design System & Agency Management

Manage the external agency delivering the Ship Sure design system - setting expectations, reviewing outputs and holding them to quality and timelines.
Own the integration of the design system (components, patterns and design tokens) into day-to-day delivery, ensuring consistent adoption across squads.
Act as the bridge between the agency's design-system work and the internal product, design and engineering teams.

Collaboration & Ways of Working

Partner closely with Product Owners, Product Managers and engineers as the primary UX contact across modules.
Contribute to design-partner and user-feedback sessions, synthesising insight into design improvements.
Work within the AI-assisted SDLC / AI-PrDLC, using AI-assisted design and prototyping tooling to work at pace and contributing to continuous improvement of these workflows. Including writing prompts, and creation of artefacts.

3-5 years' experience as a UI/UX or product designer delivering production software.
Strong interaction and visual design skills, with a portfolio demonstrating shipped, user-centred interfaces.
Proficiency in Figma (or equivalent) for wire framing, prototyping and UI design.
A strong working understanding of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, and component-based frameworks such as React) and how designs are implemented - enough to collaborate credibly with engineers, without needing to hand-code production features.
Practical experience working with and contributing to a design system / component library and design tokens.
Solid understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG) and responsive, cross-device design.
Experience coordinating or managing external agencies or vendors, or a clear aptitude to do so.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills; comfortable working in cross-functional agile squads.

Experience in the maritime, shipping, logistics, or heavy-asset-management industry.
Familiarity with enterprise or multi-tenant SaaS, ERP, or complex data-dense applications.
Experience designing for both web and mobile within the same product.
Experience with AI-assisted design and development tools and workflows.
Familiarity with design-token tooling and design-to-code workflows.
Write prompts and reuseable skills for the product and engineering team to build user interfaces with those components.
