A SaaS payroll company is looking for a Senior UX Designer to support a key internal tool project during its discovery and design phase. The project focuses on enhancing a SharePoint-based internal insights hub, a tool used by teams across the business to access customer research and strategic insights.
This hub was originally built by a research team, and now needs a UX expert to shape it into a more usable, intuitive and structured experience for internal colleagues of all levels.

What you’ll be doing:
  • Leading the discovery phase: conducting interviews and workshops with internal colleagues to understand user needs
  • Mapping and simplifying complex access flows across a 100+ page SharePoint hub
  • Designing new landing page experiences and information architecture
  • Creating clear signposting and navigation tailored to different user profiles (from senior leaders to junior staff)
  • Applying UX thinking to help users “find what they don’t know they’re looking for”
  • Translating research insights into meaningful design improvements
  • Updating SharePoint pages directly (you’ll need to be hands-on with the tool)
  • Collaborating closely with research teams and internal stakeholders to gather input and iterate quickly

What they’re looking for:
  • Strong background in UX design with solid discovery experience
  • Able to simplify complexity and translate business needs into usable structures
  • Comfortable interviewing users and applying insights in real time
  • Experience working on internal tools, dashboards or content-heavy platforms
  • Familiar with SharePoint (you’ll be expected to make updates within the system)
  • A confident communicator who can bring clarity, structure and logic to a project mid-flight
  • Comfortable working in a collaborative, hands-on way, with direct stakeholder engagement

If you’re a UX designer who thrives in research-heavy environments, can handle ambiguity, and enjoys making complex internal systems clearer and more human, this one’s for you.
