UX Manager

As a UX Manager, you will take a leading role in shaping the vision, strategy, and execution of user experience across our product portfolio. You’ll oversee the creation of intuitive, accessible, and engaging experiences that integrate AI responsibly and effectively, ensuring design is a key driver of our business growth and innovation.

Partnering with Product, Engineering, and Data Science leadership, you will embed the voice of the user at every stage of the lifecycle—from research and discovery to delivery, optimisation, and scale. You will balance hands-on design with team leadership, providing direction, mentoring, and fostering a culture of design excellence.

This is a pivotal management role, accountable for advancing the UX maturity of our SaaS HR and Payroll solutions. You will influence product direction, champion user-led design, and harness AI-enabled insights to deliver experiences that increase adoption, satisfaction, and measurable commercial impact.
