Product / UI Designer

Department: Marketing
Employment Type: Fixed Term - Full Time
Location: London
Reporting To: Head of Marketing & Planning

Description

Shape a best-in-class design system that powers both product and digital experience across a multi-brand platform. Turn complexity from multiple acquisitions into one seamless, scalable user experience.

Role Overview

Were at a pivotal stage of transformation, following multiple acquisitions across the adviser technology and insights space. Now, were consolidating these into a unified, future-ready experience — rethinking how our platforms, products, and digital experiences come together. This role will play a critical part across two major initiatives:

  • Creating a unified digital experience through a new CMS and website ecosystem
  • Designing the product experience for Defaqto Unity, our consolidated adviser platform

In summary, an exciting opportunity to define a design system that scales across brands, audiences, and products — and is built for the future, including AI-driven experiences.

What you need to deliver

  • Establish a unified, scalable design system across Defaqto.com, Unity, and sub-brand sites
  • Ensure a seamless experience across marketing and product environments
  • Define what remains consistent (components, layout, interaction) and what flexes (tone, imagery, emphasis)
  • Create a system that works across multiple brands and audiences

This will include:

  • Design tokens (colour, typography, spacing, layout, iconography, interaction)
  • A comprehensive component library (navigation, forms, data display, CTAs, states)
  • Interaction patterns for key workflows and user states
  • Page templates and layout systems for both marketing and product use cases
  • Define components and patterns in a structured, explicit and unambiguous way
  • Document rules, constraints, and usage clearly
  • Ensure outputs can be used by AI to generate and maintain pages without interpretation

End-to-end journeys from marketing site through to logged-in product experience:

  • Adviser workflows (fact find → recommendation → submission → review)
  • Consumer journeys (discovery → understanding → action)

One consistent experience across marketing and product:

  • Data-first interfaces with a single source of truth
  • Clarity and usability over visual decoration
  • Consistency at scale across all touchpoints
  • Modular, component-based design (Atomic Design approach preferred)

A system that scales across multiple brands without redesign. A seamless experience across web and product. Outputs that are structured enough for AI-driven assembly. Clear, intuitive design that can be understood quickly and applied consistently.

What youll need to succeed

  • Relevant qualification in UX, UI, Product Design or similar (or equivalent experience)
  • Strong understanding of design systems and scalable UI architecture
  • Experience designing across both marketing websites and software products
  • Familiarity with multi-brand environments and complex digital ecosystems
  • Awareness of emerging AI design considerations is advantageous
  • Expertise in UI design, interaction design and component-based thinking
  • Ability to translate complexity into clear, usable design patterns
  • Strong documentation skills — structured, precise and scalable outputs
  • Collaborative approach with the ability to work across product, marketing and tech
  • Proven experience designing and delivering design systems at scale
  • Experience working across complex, multi-product or post-acquisition environments
  • Background in B2B, SaaS or platform-based products is highly desirable
  • Experience contributing to or leading large-scale digital transformation projects
  • Comfortable working at pace in a short-term, impact-driven contract
  • Able to operate independently while aligning with a wider vision
  • Highly structured, detail-oriented and pragmatic
  • Focused on delivering solutions that scale, not one-off designs
