Deskpro builds modern helpdesk software used by thousands of organisations worldwide to manage multichannel customer support. Our platform is feature-rich and highly configurable, it’s used by teams of all sizes, from startups to global enterprises, and has both internal and customer facing use-cases.
With that depth comes complexity: our user experience needs to evolve to match the scale and sophistication of our product. This is where you come in.
The opportunityYou’ll play a foundational role in establishing a unified design vision, championing usability, and shaping user experiences across our product suite. Whether it’s providing strategic insight, or solving real-world user experience challenges across the product, you'll contribute to delivering user-centred solutions that enhance both user satisfaction and our competitive advantage.

- Improving navigation and accessibility in workflow builders.
- Making multi-channel customer interactions seamless and intuitive.
- Developing intuitive UX patterns for integrating emerging AI-driven features across Deskpro’s product suite.

- Help teams identify incremental improvements that make a big difference to daily user workflows.
- Lead UX vision and practice
- Develop and champion consistent design principles, patterns, and accessibility standards.
- Manage the end-to-end design process, from discovery and prototyping to validation, specification, development, and delivery.
- Mentor team-members and advocate for UX best practices.
- Build and maintain a scalable design system
- Develop a design system covering typography, colour, UI components, interaction patterns, and documentation.
- Support adoption across product, engineering, and marketing teams to ensure consistent implementation.
- Coordinate regular user testing, interviews, and research.
- Translate user pain points and support insights into actionable design improvements.
- Collaborate across teams
- Work closely with Product Managers to define clear problem statements, success metrics, and validated design hypotheses.
- Partner with Engineering to ensure designs are feasible and implemented accurately.
- Coordinate with our Product Marketing Manager to align in-product copy, visual consistency, and brand voice.
Requirements
- Experience designing user-centric digital products, ideally with 7+ years in UX/UI or product design (or equivalent experience).
- Strong portfolio demonstrating ability to own and create scalable design systems in complex products end-to-end.
- Experience building, managing, and scaling design systems, ideally within a growing technology company.
- Bring strong user research and analytics skills, with an ability to translate insights into actionable designs for product improvement.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Combine pragmatic thinking with creativity, ensuring design outcomes are both innovative and aligned with business objectives.
- Balances research with delivery, acting when needed to keep projects moving forward while ensuring designs are grounded in user needs.
- Communicate clearly and effectively, particularly when explaining design choices and strategies to stakeholders.
- Proficiency with tools such as Figma or similar design and prototyping platforms, to design and maintain component libraries, and production-ready assets.
- An interest in exploring how AI can augment and facilitate the process.
- Understanding of accessibility standards and inclusive design principles.
- Show leadership potential, mentorship experience, and passion for building and growing a user-centric, UX driven culture.
If you don’t meet every requirement but are excited about this role, we’d still love to hear from you.
Benefits
- Competitive Salary.
- A mixture of autonomy over your own work and real responsibilities to the team and business.
