UX Designer (Junior)
£30-35k | North Manchester
If you’re early in your UX career and want to move beyond surface‑level design into real product work, this is a genuinely strong opportunity to do it.
I’m working with a well‑established business in North Manchester that is investing heavily in its tech and product teams. They’ve recently brought in new leadership and are building things properly, which means you’ll be joining at a point where you can learn, contribute, and grow quickly.
This isn’t a role where you’ll be designing marketing pages.
You’ll be working on real systems used every day, including:
* Customer portals
* Internal platforms
* Data‑heavy workflows (billing, usage, account journeys)
The kind of problems that actually matter.
Why this role stands out
* You’ll be working closely with an experienced Product Designer who will mentor you day‑to‑day
* You’ll get exposure to the full UX process, from research and discovery through to delivery
* You’ll be solving real‑world problems, not just polishing UI
* You’ll be part of a growing product team, not stuck in a silo
What you’ll be doing
* Getting close to users – interviews, shadowing, understanding real problems
* Mapping journeys and identifying where things break down
* Turning insights into clear flows, wireframes, and prototypes
* Improving existing systems and making them simpler and easier to use
* Working alongside product and engineering to bring ideas to life
What they’re looking for
* Solid UX fundamentals (research, journeys, wireframing)
* Some exposure to real products (SaaS, internal tools, or similar)
* A curious, practical, and keen to learn attitude
* Comfortable using Figma
* Interested in solving problems, not just designing screens
The setup
* £30,000 – £35,000
* North Manchester
* Onsite initially (with a move to hybrid)
* Strong mentorship and progression
This is a great step for someone who wants to move into a proper product environment and build a career in UX the right way.
