UX Designer (Contract) – B2B SaaS / Business Intelligence

Contract:
3 months •
Start:
ASAP •

Location:
Remote-friendly (overlap with engineering team required)

Ideally your based in Scotland

The mission

We have a working prototype of a B2B business-intelligence application. Your job is to take it
from functional to phenomenal
—turning a solid demo into a
production-ready
product with a cohesive visual language, intuitive flows, and data visualisation that delivers a real
wow
factor for enterprise users.

What you’ll do

• Own the UI/UX polish end-to-end: high-fidelity designs, responsive layouts, and dev-ready specs that elevate the prototype to launch quality.
• Design for data: create clear, engaging dashboards and patterns for charts, tables, KPIs and complex analytics so insights are obvious at a glance.
• Define a system: build or extend a design system and component library to ensure consistency across the app.
• Work iteratively with engineering: pair on rapid prototypes, balance ideal UX with feasibility, and support implementation with annotations and assets.
• Stay user-centred: participate in quick validation sessions, fold feedback into fast iterations, and keep enterprise workflows front-and-centre.
• Continuously improve: help simplify legacy patterns and nudge our CI/CD and design-to-dev handoff in the right direction.

What good looks like

• You move quickly with clarity in ambiguity , shipping incremental value over long design cycles.
• You make complex data simple —clean IA, purposeful hierarchy, and scannable surfaces.
• You communicate crisply with designers, PMs, and engineers and can justify trade-offs.
• You balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints without losing quality.

Must-have experience

• A strong portfolio of B2B SaaS work, including data-rich applications/dashboards .
• Hands-on with design systems / component libraries (tokens, variants, documentation).
• Proficiency in Figma (or Sketch) for high-fidelity, prototypes, and dev handoff.
• Familiarity with front-end ecosystems— Next.js, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui —and how design decisions map to modern web constraints.
• Solid grasp of information architecture for complex datasets and enterprise workflows.
• Collaborative, iterative delivery in an agile environment.

Nice to have

• Awareness of BI/analytics best practices and common charting pitfalls.
• Experience designing for global enterprise users (roles, permissions, locales).
• Understanding of web delivery tooling (GitHub Actions), observability needs, and accessibility standards (WCAG).

Deliverables (typical)

• Production-ready high-fidelity screens and responsive variants.
• A lightweight design system (foundations, components, usage guidelines).
• Data-viz patterns (charts, tables, KPIs) with interaction states and empty/error/loading logic.
• Clickable prototype(s) for stakeholder/user review.
• Clear specs/annotations for engineering handoff and support during implementation.

How to apply

Please share your CV/LinkedIn
and

1. At least one B2B data-heavy product (dashboards/analytics).
2. A before/after or prototype-to-production story showing your polish and system thinking .
3. Any work where you collaborated closely with engineers to ship.

If you love making complex products
beautiful, usable, and shippable
, we’d love to talk.
