About the role
- Elevate the Web Experience: Lead the visual design for high-impact web projects, moving beyond standard templates to create bespoke, interactive landing pages and microsites that captivate our technical audience.
- Systematise the Design Language: Own and evolve the web design system in Figma, ensuring a consistent, scalable, and accessible visual language across thousands of pages while maintaining rapid velocity for the Web Dev team.
- Bridge Design and Development: Work side-by-side with Front-End Engineers to ensure your designs are feasible, responsive, and performant, bridging the gap between "concept" and "code" with precise handoffs.
- Visualise Complex Data: collaborate with the Research and Product Marketing teams to turn dense cybersecurity data and reports into engaging, interactive data visualisations and scrolly-telling experiences.
- Optimise for Conversion: Partner with the Growth Squad (SEO & Paid) to design A/B tests and conversion rate optimisation (CRO) experiments that balance brand integrity with aggressive lead capture goals.
- Collaborate with Squads: Act as the "Web Design Consultant" for Product Squads, translating their campaign themes and "Splash" concepts into digital realities that feel unique yet unmistakably UpGuard.
Requirements
- 5+ years of dedicated web design experience, with a portfolio showcasing not just "brochureware" but complex, interactive, or product-led web experiences.
- Mastery of Figma, including advanced prototyping, auto-layout, and the management of large-scale component libraries and design systems.
- A strong understanding of Front-End fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript capabilities). You don't need to write code, but you must understand how the DOM works to design effectively for it.
- Experience designing for B2B SaaS or Tech, with an ability to make complex, technical subjects (like cyber risk) feel accessible, modern, and premium.
- A "User-Centric" mindset: you design for the human on the other side of the screen, obsessing over usability, accessibility (WCAG), and mobile responsiveness.
- Strong communication skills, capable of explaining the "why" behind your design decisions to stakeholders ranging from Developers to the VP of Demand Gen.
