We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for UK-based UX/UI product designers with experience delivering complex digital products and collaborating closely with web engineering teams. This role supports a research initiative focused on creating, reviewing, and evaluating high-quality digital product design scenarios.
Selected professionals will apply practical experience across user journeys, interface systems, responsive web design, technical constraints, and design-to-engineering handoff for functional web products.
Responsibilities
- Create and evaluate UX/UI scenarios for complex web-based products
- Design user journeys, product flows, wireframes, interfaces, and interactive experiences
- Assess whether proposed solutions support usability, clarity, accessibility, and commercial objectives
- Apply practical judgment across discovery, concept development, prototyping, validation, and delivery
- Review experiences involving e-commerce, marketplaces, booking systems, onboarding, checkout, and account management
- Evaluate logged-in customer portals, self-service platforms, dashboards, and internal operational tools
- Identify gaps in navigation, information architecture, interaction design, and task completion
- Compare alternative design approaches and explain which solution performs more effectively
- Evaluate component-based design systems, reusable patterns, and interface consistency
- Review typography, spacing, hierarchy, responsive behaviour, states, and visual polish
- Assess whether components scale effectively across screens, products, and user scenarios
- Identify inconsistencies that may affect usability, implementation, or product quality
- Translate design intent into clear specifications and implementation-ready documentation
- Evaluate front-end constraints, responsive layouts, component behaviour, and web implementation trade-offs
- Collaborate effectively with product managers, engineers, researchers, and data teams
- Provide clear written feedback grounded in both design quality and technical feasibility
Requirements
