About the Role:

We are seeking a talented and user-centred UX/UI Designer to join teams delivering mission-critical solutions in the National Security sector. Working as part of a collaborative, cross-functional environment, you’ll be involved in the end-to-end design of secure, scalable and intuitive digital platforms that make a real-world difference.

This is an opportunity to join a globally recognised organisation that offers exceptional progression routes, structured training, and access to a diverse project portfolio across the sector.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and contribute to the research, design and prototyping of user-focused digital products for secure government and defence clients.
• Work closely with product owners, developers, analysts, and client stakeholders to understand complex requirements and design challenges.
• Design clean, intuitive interfaces that simplify interactions in data-sensitive or high-security environments.
• Create user flows, wireframes, mockups and interactive prototypes using tools such as Figma or Sketch.
• Advocate for UX best practices and accessibility standards throughout the product lifecycle.
• Participate in stakeholder workshops, usability testing, and user interviews to gather insights and validate designs.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure accurate handover of assets and a smooth implementation process.

What We're Looking For:

• 3–5 years of experience in UX/UI design, ideally with experience working in complex or regulated sectors (e.g. Government, defence, health, finance).
• Strong portfolio demonstrating user-centred design with a focus on solving real-world problems.
• Proficiency with industry-standard design and prototyping tools (e.g. Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, InVision).
• Understanding of accessibility, responsive design, and secure design principles.
• Strong communication and presentation skills; able to convey design decisions to technical and non-technical audiences.
• A growth mindset, with a desire to learn new skills and contribute to improving design processes and workflows.

What We Offer:

• Hybrid working with a central London hub (2-3 days per week in the office).
• Opportunities to gain or upgrade government security clearance.
• Dedicated career development plan with access to certifications, training budgets and mentoring.
• Chance to work across national security, central government and international programmes.
• Diverse, inclusive culture with a strong emphasis on collaboration and knowledge sharing.
• Competitive salary + bonus + comprehensive benefits package.
