  • The UX Design Intern will lead by example to set a high bar for design, helping UX Product Designers to drive innovation and inspire others to continually improve the design system and the overall customer digital experience across all areas of our business.
  • Support the creation and refinement of UI components, patterns, and guidelines within the design system.
  • Collaborate with designers and engineers to ensure components are usable, accessible, and consistent across products.
  • Contribute to design system documentation (usage guidelines, states, best practices).
  • Test and review component usability in real product contexts.
  • Explore and propose improvements to enhance scalability, accessibility and efficiency.
  • Audit and clean up design tokens (colours, spacing, typography) to ensure consistency across the system.
  • Work with engineers to improve design-to-code parity, and flag inconsistencies between Figma and front-end implementation.
  • Assist in maintaining the design system library and project folder structure in Figma, ensuring they are logically organised and easily accessible.
  • Producing low-fi sketches, wireframes, process flows, site maps, and pixel-perfect visual designs.
  • Tackling design problems autonomously while fostering ongoing collaboration.
  • Producing prototypes to support usability testing and discussions.
  • Presenting and articulating design ideas to cross-functional teams, and writing clear specifications for developers.
  • Driving the design process in collaboration with UX Product Designers.

Requirements

  • Excellent with Figma.

  • Experience with user research, quantitative and qualitative, to find usability problem areas and opportunities for improvement.
  • Knowledge of design methodologies, techniques and tools.
  • Ability to plan your work and share progress.
  • Able to design for systems, not for screens in isolation – understanding that systems are complex even when they look simple.

  • Able to travel to the office (Monument, London) 2 to 3 times every week.
  • Fluent in English.
