We are the long-term and exclusive IT recruiter for our client. What makes them unique is that they are a group of founders/execs/team members (all from software product backgrounds) who have built some of the most successful SaaS software businesses in Australia together. They understand the recipe of how to successfully combine people, process, and technology to create user value. Their platform and product set is expanding, currently used to manage security and safety by some of the biggest companies in Australia and the world…

Are you a designer who cares deeply about visual polish, user experience, and the evolving role of AI in design workflows? This is a rare opportunity to join a small, high-performing product design team working at the heart of a well-established and fast-moving SaaS platform.

Why this role exists
This role is being hired due to both increasing customer demand and the upcoming relocation of a team member overseas, creating both urgency and a great opportunity for a skilled designer to step into a central, cross-functional position.

What you’ll do

  • Lead design across the full product lifecycle – from discovery and UX research through to polished UI and dev handover.
  • Maintain and evolve a component-based design system in Figma.
  • Deliver thoughtful, accessible, and scalable design solutions across web, mobile and tablet
  • Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and strategy to build cohesive experiences across an ecosystem of safety and compliance products
  • Contribute to team learning, share emerging tools, and explore the use of AI in design workflows
What we’re looking for
  • Minimum 4+ years’ experience designing digital products in fast-paced product environments.
  • A strong online portfolio that shows both your visual craft and problem-solving approach.
  • Deep hands-on experience with Figma, including components, tokens, and design system management.
  • Working knowledge of responsive behaviour, mobile design considerations, and front-end principles (CSS awareness, GitHub familiarity a plus).
  • Interest or experience in new tools like Cursor, Locofy, Vercel AI, or similar AI-accelerated workflows.
  • A collaborative, learning mindset – someone who’s proactive in exploring new tools and sharing knowledge with the team.
  • Comfortable working across multiple products and thinking in terms of platform and ecosystem, not just features.
Why join this team?
  • Profitable and commercially successful, they are at an exciting growth stage, investing in product expansion and innovation.
  • Work alongside a compact team of talented, curious, and committed product designers.
  • A real opportunity to own end-to-end design work – from concept to delivery – within a critical, real-world SaaS platform.
  • Hybrid working and Sydney-based flexibility.
  • Culture grounded in craft, curiosity, and shared learning. The team and company chemistry is awesome…you will be amongst a talented bunch of people who love working and creating software together.
  • Exposure to new tech, continuous learning, and a strong focus on user impact.
Interview Process
  • Streamlined one-stage interview, ideally in person.
  • Candidates will be asked to walk through a selected piece from their portfolio and talk through design decisions, process, and problem-solving.
  • No technical test – just a genuine conversation about your work, mindset, and design approach.
 
If you're proud of your portfolio, love working in product teams, and are excited by the opportunity to shape digital experiences at scale – we’d love to hear from you.
