Job Description

As a Senior Interaction Designer, you will design how users interact with digital services—defining flows, behaviours, and interface patterns that enable intuitive, accessible experiences.

Working as part of multidisciplinary teams, you will translate user needs and service requirements into clear interaction models, ensuring that services are usable, consistent, and aligned with modern design standards.

You will play a key role in bridging design and engineering—ensuring that interactions are not only well designed, but also technically feasible and implemented to a high standard.

Design detailed interaction patterns, user flows, and interface behaviours for complex digital services

Create high-fidelity prototypes to communicate interaction logic, validate design decisions, and support delivery

Define micro-interactions, system states, validation patterns, and edge cases to ensure robust user experiences

Apply and extend design systems, including the GOV.UK Design System, contributing reusable components and patterns

Collaborate closely with engineers to ensure designs are implemented accurately and meet accessibility and performance requirements

Ensure all designs meet WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards and responsive design principles

Work closely with user researchers and UX designers to iterate interactions based on evidence and feedback

Contribute to end-to-end service design, ensuring interactions align across journeys and touchpoints

Maintain consistency across products through contribution to shared component libraries and design standards

Document interaction specifications clearly to support development and handover

You will also need to be eligible for SC Clearance meaning 5 years continuous UK residency

Qualifications

Strong experience designing interactions for complex digital products and services in Agile environments

Expertise in creating high-fidelity prototypes and interaction models using tools such as Figma (including components and variants)

Proven ability to design scalable, reusable patterns within design systems

Experience working with, or alongside, the GOV.UK Design System or similar established design systems

Strong understanding of interaction design principles, including usability, feedback, and system behaviour

Familiarity with modern front-end approaches, including component-based development and JavaScript frameworks
