- Define and maintain a design system that promotes consistency, scalability, and cross-platform alignment.
- Build prototypes to test and validate design decisions early and often with real users.
- Partner with engineering to ensure high-quality implementation of designs and provide ongoing design support throughout the development lifecycle.
- Drive cross-functional UX discovery workshops, mapping user journeys, personas, and workflows for different customer segments.
- Contribute to roadmap planning by identifying UX gaps, usability opportunities, and product cohesion challenges.
- Take a leading role in hiring and mentoring future designers as the team grows.
Qualifications & Experience
- Degree in interaction design, HCI, UX, or a related field; or equivalent professional experience.
- Advanced proficiency in design tools such as Figma, Sketch, or similar
- Ability to create wireframes, interactive prototypes, and detailed visual specs
- Strong UX research practices and familiarity with usability testing
- Solid understanding of responsive design and front-end development constraints
- Clear communicator with the ability to explain design decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- 5+ years of experience designing user interfaces for technical or enterprise-grade software
- Proven experience designing for tools, platforms, or complex B2B applications
- Experience in industries such as automotive, aerospace, defence, or industrial software is a strong plus
- Previous involvement in building or contributing to a design system
- Experience mentoring or leading other designers is desirable

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
