Shape how design and AI come together at Samhall
Samhall has undergone a digital transformation where user needs are the starting point for everything we develop. Now we're seeking a senior UX designer to join our new design unit.
What does the future of UX work look like in practice? That's the question we want you to help us answer. We believe the answer moves away from manually designing interfaces toward finding new paths from insight to tested solutions. For us, AI isn't the goal—it's the tool: it handles the repetitive work and frees up time for human connection and creating value. We're looking for someone with the drive to explore possibilities, the judgment to know what meets our standards, and the systems thinking to build your insights into our design system.
About the role
You'll join our design unit, working alongside a design lead, three service designers, and a UX designer, while collaborating closely with Samhall's tech and service teams. You'll drive UX work day-to-day, mentor your junior colleague, and take over UX initiatives currently run by consultants.
Your mission is to further develop our insight-driven, iterative UX approach, establish AI as a natural part of it, and ensure Samhall's digital solutions are intuitive, efficient, and accessible—especially cognitively. We keep focus on customer and employee journeys in all design decisions.
Some of our ways of working are already in place; others we're building now: you won't inherit finished structures, you'll help shape them.
You'll do things like
· Explore before you build: gather insights through interviews, observation, and co-creation, and understand the problem before choosing a solution.
· Work hypothesis-driven and user-close: test working AI-assisted prototypes with real users in tight loops.
· Make user testing part of daily work, as Samhall's testing activities grow.
· Own and develop our design system: principles, tokens, and patterns that AI-assisted development builds directly on, so every draft starts closer to right.
· Build a way of working that learns: insights from every test feed the next loop and make our AI support smarter.
· Be the one raising quality: review and curate what's produced, with care for usability, consistency, and detail.
· Make accessibility a given: accessibility is there from the first draft, and your user testing naturally includes people with different conditions. For us, a solution isn't done unless it works in its real context.
Who you are
· You have solid experience in UX or interaction design, and you've built or owned a design system that's actually used.
· You've established ways of working that didn't exist before you arrived, and you know what it takes to make them stick.
· You're driven by understanding the people you design for, and you listen before you solve.
· You can prioritize across the big picture: decide what matters most to solve now and what can wait.
· For you, AI is a natural tool in design work, and you quality-check what's produced.
· You see accessibility as a natural part of good design. You have deep knowledge of standards like WCAG, but you also know that real accessibility is proven in meeting users, not in a checklist.
For us, experience is less about the number of years and more about what you've done with them. You share Samhall's values and are thoughtful, reliable, and engaged.
Why Samhall
Samhall exists so people with disabilities can develop through work. For a designer, that's something few employers can offer: the users who demand the highest standards for good design are your colleagues. Designing together with them gives insights few others get and creates solutions that are better for everyone.
