FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking a UX Designer to work for our consultancy client. This is initially a 6-month contract with very good prospects to extend and will be a hybrid role that will be based in Leatherhead, Surrey 1 day a week.
We’re looking for a talented UX/UI Designer with solid digital product experience to join our client’s team. You’ll be stepping into a role previously held by a junior–mid‑weight consultant, so we’re seeking someone with similar hands‑on design capability, strong collaboration skills, and a passion for user‑centred problem solving.
You’ll work closely with a Design Lead and partner with the Front-End Designer, with some independent work due to the smaller size of the design/front‑end function compared to the backend team. The client uses the Astro UXDS design system- experience with this is not required.
Responsibilities:
- Create intuitive, user‑centred designs for digital
products, ensuring high usability and visual quality.
- Translate complex technical
and functional requirements into clear UX/UI solutions.
- Collaborate closely with the
Design Lead and Front-End Designer to maintain design consistency.
- Produce wireframes,
prototypes, and high-fidelity interface designs using tools such as Figma.
- Conduct or support user‑centred design practices,
such as user flows and interaction design.
- Work with stakeholders to
gather requirements, present design options, and validate solutions.
- Apply existing design systems
(training provided for Astro UXDS) to ensure brand and UX consistency.
- Support iterative design and
development processes, responding to feedback and evolving needs.
