Design Jobs Board

We’re looking for a product UX/UI designer, big on ideas, bigger on craft. You’re looking for a place to thrive. Shall we dance?

Kohde is a strategic design consultancy for B2B tech companies. We are no ordinary design agency — our impact is felt at all stages of growth, and our clients call us their best-kept secret.

About you

This is a role for a product UX/UI designer who wants to work directly with product and engineering teams in B2B technology start-ups and scale-ups. Not through an account manager. Not from a brief handed down through three layers of client services. You and the client work out what the business actually needs, then make it.

You’ll challenge the status quo and deliver design that is both beautiful to behold and beautiful to use. If you believe in design’s power to transform — not just to execute — and you want to see and feel the impact of your work directly, you’ll thrive at Kohde.

The role

You’ll work directly with founders, CMOs and product teams to shape and develop new products and ship new features within existing ones. You’ll also work alongside our brand and GTM team to shape messaging and product storytelling — because at Kohde, the insights uncovered in product work feed directly into how our clients talk about what they’ve built.

As a product UX/UI designer at Kohde, you will:

• Turn a product vision into reality through discovery, requirements scoping, research, wireframing, prototyping, design system creation, UX and UI design, and developer handover
• Work with product owners and engineers — understand their constraints and build alongside them, not around them
• Create exceptional user experiences that challenge the status quo in B2B product design, with a strong eye on typographic hierarchy and brand custodianship
• Resist trends in favour of stand-out, memorable, ownable product experiences that transition seamlessly from brand to product and back again
• Work across the full spectrum — net new products, component libraries, design systems, and legacy products carrying years of design debt
• Present a portfolio that demonstrates craft and beauty, but also shows business-level problem-solving
• Defend your decisions with confidence, constructing arguments grounded in discovery and research
• Use Figma fluently, with a deep understanding of design systems, tokens, and UX/UI best practices
• Use Claude and AI tooling for research, rapid prototyping, and iteration — and bring your discoveries back to the team
• Articulate pain points and insights upstream and downstream, because what you uncover in product work shapes how clients tell their story
• See design in the context of what the business owner needs and what the user needs — and know when those things are in tension
• Trust your instinct when research is absent, rather than defaulting to the safe option
• Thrive in ambiguity, work self-sufficiently, and meet deadlines without needing to be chased
• Bring fiercely organised craft to every task, from the most significant project down to the smallest detail
• Listen before speaking, collaborate without ego, and push back when you need to — gently, but clearly

Why Kohde?

Most design roles put you in one of two boxes. You’re either close enough to the work to care about craft but too far from the business to see the impact. Or you’re in strategy meetings but disconnected from what gets built.

At Kohde, those two things are the same job.

You’ll work directly with founders and product teams. That directness is uncomfortable for some designers. For the right one, it’s the only way to work.

The clients you’ll work with are building something real. A start-up planting its flag before the market has validated it. A scale-up that’s outgrown everything it built in year one and needs to signal a maturity its brand hasn’t caught up with yet. A product team that knows its dashboard is a mess and needs someone who can see the whole picture, not just the component library.

Your work won’t sit in a deck and get forgotten. It goes live. It gets used. It compounds. The businesses we work with don’t improve a little — they catapult. The way we lose clients is through acquisition or takeover. We’ve learned to be proud of that.

If you want fast briefs, clean handovers, and a Jira ticket that tells you exactly what to do — this isn’t the right place. If you want to work on things that matter, with founders who believe in design before they believe in anything else, and to see the direct consequence of your decisions in a business that’s growing, you’ll thrive here.

We’re in it for the long haul. We’d like you to be too.

What makes a Kohder?

We’re a small team. Your behaviours and attitude matter as much as your skills. This is what a good Kohder looks like:

You’re proactive. You have a can-do attitude and advance projects — large and small — without being asked. You recognise your role in the collective journey.

You seek improvement. You spot a recurring problem and work with your team to fix it. You don’t wait to be told.

You’re hungry. Your default is to learn from good and bad experiences and strive to be better, not just turn up. Resting on your laurels doesn’t fulfil you.

You have standards. Skill, craft, and organisation are second nature and show up everywhere — from the most significant project down to the smallest task.

Your approach is ego-less. You want to get it right, not be right. Your solutions and attitude are what’s best for the client, not what’s best for you. You’re receptive to feedback, listen first, collaborate, and push back — gently — where necessary.

What we offer

• £55,000–£75,000 depending on experience
• Remote, UK — with core hours for team overlap and flexibility around morning or evening commitments
• Health insurance with access to private healthcare
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• MacBook Pro, 4K monitor, and software
• Learning budget for professional growth
• Monthly socials and an annual getaway
