The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) is seeking a senior interaction designer to contribute to its digital transformation. This role involves designing user-centred public services at scale within multidisciplinary teams, aligning with Government Design Principles. Key responsibilities include identifying and resolving complex public infrastructure issues, promoting best practices and standards in user centred design, and mentoring junior designers. The successful candidate will be proactive, take ownership of design activities (like facilitating critiques and documenting user journeys), and possess excellent leadership, collaboration, presentation, and communication skills to work effectively with various stakeholders.

Working Style

This role will be carried out in-line with IPO Hybrid working arrangements where staff are currently expected to spend at least 20% of their time working onsite from one of our offices. This role is based in our Newport Office.

Promote and Implement Design Excellence: Champion a consistent, high-quality user experience by promoting reusable design elements and best practices across the IPO and wider government communities. This involves contributing to user-centred design standards and guidance, utilising the GOV.UK Design System, and ensuring designs meet accessibility, legal, and security requirements, as well as the GOV.UK Service Standard.
Lead and Mentor Design Professionals: Provide management support, coaching, mentoring, and training to other designers (including HEO Interaction Designers), focusing on their development, the quality of their work, and ensuring adherence to best practices.

Person specification

Essential criteria

Experience working effectively in an agile, multi-disciplinary team environment, delivering iterative design components as part of a project team.
Experience in designing accessible solutions across various channels to meet customer needs. Proven ability to produce essential user-centred design deliverables, such as user flows, process flows, service blueprints, and site maps.
Proficient in using prototyping tools like GOV.UK Prototype Kit, Figma, or Adobe XD to create and validate high-fidelity prototypes.
Experience in conducting usability testing, either independently or collaboratively with user researchers.
Demonstrated experience working with the GOV.UK Design System, Service Manual, and design principles, including the ability to recommend new patterns or update existing ones within the system.
Experience in leading community of practice activities.
Proven ability to mentor and coach designers across the UCD profession.
