Senior Web Product UX Designer

Senior Web Product UX Designer

Company details

Description of the offer

We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Web Product UX Designer to define the strategic vision and shape the user experience of our AI-powered insights platform. If you thrive in a fast-paced, small-team environment where your work has immediate impact, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a dual-focus role in a small, agile team: you’ll zoom out to develop our overall UX strategy and design system, then zoom back in to deliver tactical improvements and keep our development pipeline moving. You’ll be the UX authority in a highly collaborative environment, working closely with our CTO, Head of Product, Strategy Director, and UI Designer. Expect lively workshops, healthy debate, and diverse opinions – then take ownership of the hands-on UX delivery.

About us

We are Canvas8, a strategic insights practice operating out of London, NY, LA, Singapore & Manila. We help our clients understand people so they can make better business decisions.

Our work is about investigating the hidden insights in everyday life – from the psychology of boredom to teenage make-up rituals to why Barbiecore is a Gen Y thing – and making them meaningful for brands. Our team is a blend of different disciplines and skills – from psychology to journalism, and anthropology to behavioural economics. What unites them is a desire to understand people and a passion for delivering outstanding work.

About the role

You’ll be working on the Canvas8 platform – a premium digital product used by major global brands and insight agencies. The platform serves insight specialists and includes:

• Library: A searchable database of in-depth articles and case studies
• Access: Connection to industry experts for opinions and talks
• Live Events: Regular events and content for members
• AI-Powered Tools: Advanced features including AI-driven trend analysis, intelligent content recommendations, and automated insight generation, plus collaboration tools like Scrapbook
• Culture Monitor: Media monitoring that tracks trends and cultural signals in real-time

This is a complex, feature-rich platform that needs a considered UX approach to keep it intuitive and delightful for our users.

Day-to-day

• Strategic:
  • In collaboration, define and document the overall UX vision, strategy, and approach for our digital platform
  • Review our existing product, identify opportunities, and create a pragmatic roadmap for evolution
  • Develop UX design system components and patterns for consistency across the platform
  • Lead user research efforts to inform design decisions and validate concepts

•  

  Hands-on delivery:

  • Create wireframes and prototypes in Figma, collaborating with our UI Designer on high-fidelity designs
  • Conduct user interviews, surveys, and stakeholder consultations, and analyse platform analytics
  • Deliver UX solutions for roadmap projects, balancing long-term vision with immediate needs
  • Work in agile sprints to provide a steady pipeline of work for our development team
  • Act as a key stakeholder in project reviews, ensuring outputs meet UX best practice standards
• Collaboration:
  • Facilitate workshops with CTO, Head of Product, Strategy Director, and work day-to-day with our UI Designer to align on priorities and approach.
  • Present concepts clearly and provide constructive, expert feedback
  • Champion a data-informed, user-centred approach across the organisation

     

Requirements

• 5+ years of end-to-end UX design experience across research, strategy, interaction design, and prototyping
• Experience designing for B2B SaaS, professional tools, or membership platforms with expert user workflows
• Skilled in simplifying complex, data-heavy products and defining clear information architectures and interaction patterns
• Hands-on experience creating or evolving design systems from the ground up
• Comfortable working autonomously in small, fast-paced teams and collaborating closely with cross-functional partners
• Data-informed approach to design, using A/B testing and analytics to validate decisions
• Advanced proficiency in Figma, with a strong understanding of accessibility, inclusive design, and component-based systems
