UX Designer - CONTRACT Immediate start - Initially 3 months OUTSIDE IR35

UX Designer (Contract) – B2B SaaS / Business Intelligence
Contract: 3 months • Start: ASAP • Location: Remote-friendly (overlap with engineering team required)

The mission

We have a working prototype of a B2B business-intelligence application. Your job is to take it from functional to phenomenal—turning a solid demo into a production-ready product with a cohesive visual language, intuitive flows, and data visualisation that delivers a real wow factor for enterprise users.

What you’ll do

  • Own the UI/UX polish end-to-end: high-fidelity designs, responsive layouts, and dev-ready specs that elevate the prototype to launch quality.

  • Design for data: create clear, engaging dashboards and patterns for charts, tables, KPIs and complex analytics so insights are obvious at a glance.

  • Define a system: build or extend a design system and component library to ensure consistency across the app.

  • Work iteratively with engineering: pair on rapid prototypes, balance ideal UX with feasibility, and support implementation with annotations and assets.

  • Stay user-centred: participate in quick validation sessions, fold feedback into fast iterations, and keep enterprise workflows front-and-centre.

  • Continuously improve: help simplify legacy patterns and nudge our CI/CD and design-to-dev handoff in the right direction.

What good looks like

  • You move quickly with clarity in ambiguity, shipping incremental value over long design cycles.

  • You make complex data simple—clean IA, purposeful hierarchy, and scannable surfaces.

  • You communicate crisply with designers, PMs, and engineers and can justify trade-offs.

  • You balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints without losing quality.

Must-have experience

  • A strong portfolio of B2B SaaS work, including data-rich applications/dashboards.

  • Hands-on with design systems / component libraries (tokens, variants, documentation).

  • Proficiency in Figma (or Sketch) for high-fidelity, prototypes, and dev handoff.

  • Familiarity with front-end ecosystems—Next.js, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui—and how design decisions map to modern web constraints.

  • Solid grasp of information architecture for complex datasets and enterprise workflows.

  • Collaborative, iterative delivery in an agile environment.

Nice to have

  • Awareness of BI/analytics best practices and common charting pitfalls.

  • Experience designing for global enterprise users (roles, permissions, locales).

  • Understanding of web delivery tooling (GitHub Actions), observability needs, and accessibility standards (WCAG).

Deliverables (typical)

  • Production-ready high-fidelity screens and responsive variants.

  • A lightweight design system (foundations, components, usage guidelines).

  • Data-viz patterns (charts, tables, KPIs) with interaction states and empty/error/loading logic.

  • Clickable prototype(s) for stakeholder/user review.

  • Clear specs/annotations for engineering handoff and support during implementation.

How to apply

Please share your CV/LinkedIn and a portfolio link highlighting:

  1. At least one B2B data-heavy product (dashboards/analytics).

  2. A before/after or prototype-to-production story showing your polish and system thinking.

  3. Any work where you collaborated closely with engineers to ship.

If you love making complex products beautiful, usable, and shippable, we’d love to talk.
