UX Design Manager / Senior UX Design Manager
London (4 days a week onsite)
£100,000 – £140,000 DOE + Benefits
We’re partnering with a global SaaS company operating in a highly complex, data-rich environment, looking to hire a UX Design Manager to lead a growing team and shape the next generation of their core product offering.
This is a pure management role, leading a team of 8 designers across London and North America, with responsibility for driving UX quality, team development, and design strategy across a critical product line.
The Role
You’ll lead design for a key platform that is evolving from an internal-facing system into a customer-facing product, enabling users to manage and configure services autonomously.
This is a high-impact piece of work, involving:
* Complex workflows
* Data-heavy interfaces
* Scalable design system implementation
* Long-term product evolution (multi-year roadmap)
You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and research to define problems, shape solutions, and ensure a consistently high standard of UX output across the team.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Managing and mentoring a team of UX/UI designers across multiple locations
* Driving UX strategy across a complex SaaS product
* Partnering with product and engineering to shape direction, not just deliver requirements
* Embedding strong UX practices, processes, and ways of working
* Facilitating workshops and aligning cross-functional teams
* Championing user-centred design across the organisation
* Supporting the evolution and adoption of a design system
* Contributing to hiring and scaling the design team over time
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience managing and growing design teams
* Background as a hands-on designer earlier in your career
* Strong experience in B2B SaaS, enterprise tools, or complex platforms
* Experience designing for dashboards, data visualisation, and workflow-heavy products
* Ability to operate strategically while maintaining a high bar for execution
* Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
Additional Info
* 4-stage interview process
* No visa sponsorship available
