UI Designer

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced UI/Product Designer to shape the user experience of our volunteer management platform. You will design intuitive, accessible, end-to-end workflows tailored to the distinct needs of volunteers, coordinators, and system administrators.

Key Responsibilities

Craft high-fidelity UI screens, interactive prototypes, and complete workflows for complex, data-dense digital tools (dashboards, scheduling, records).

Tailor interfaces to serve varied user roles—from everyday volunteers to power-user administrators.

Establish consistent UI patterns, component libraries, and design tokens, contributing reusable assets back to the public sector design system.

Plan, conduct, and analyse usability tests to validate design decisions and iterate based on real feedback.

Implement WCAG 2.1 standards and ARIA-aware design practices across all product touch points.

Partner closely with product management, engineering, and UX researchers to bring concepts from early wireframes to production-ready implementation.

Required Qualifications & Skills

5+ years of digital product or UI design experience with a strong portfolio of shipped software.

Prior experience designing workflow-heavy, management, or administrative platforms.

Advanced mastery of Figma, including nested components, auto-layout, interactive variants, and design tokens.

Deep practical knowledge of inclusive design principles and WCAG 2.1 guidelines.

Hands-on experience facilitating user testing sessions and turning insights into actionable UI refinements.

Ability to clearly present design rationale, trade-offs, and user-centered arguments to cross-functional partners and stakeholders.
