About Vable

Vable is a news aggregation and publishing platform that supports international law firms, consultancies and government departments in staying ahead of critical developments.

We help our clients manage information overload by streamlining the way they discover, curate and share vast volumes of professional content. By delivering the right information to the right people at the right time, we enable lawyers and business leaders to stay informed, respond faster, and make confident decisions - all while saving valuable time.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for our next Vabler, an experienced, hands-on UX Designer who’s eager to make a real impact at Vable.

As a key member of our Product team, you’ll collaborate closely with Product, Engineering and Client Success to shape and continuously improve our platform's user experience. Your work will help turn complex problems into simple, intuitive, and meaningful solutions. You’ll balance thoughtful UX with strong UI design craft, creating interfaces that bring clarity and consistency.

You'll have the space to explore ideas, test hypotheses and push the boundaries of what great UX looks like in a SaaS context. A core part of your role will be understanding our users - their needs, challenges and behaviours - through research, interviews, feedback loops and data analysis.

You’ll transform these insights into clear, elegant design solutions that deliver real value. Your contributions will be central as we scale, expand our market presence, and increasingly leverage AI to enhance the experience we offer. The goal? To build an experience our users love coming back to.

Essential Criteria:

• At least 3-5 years of experience in UX/product design, with at least 1 year being in a B2B SaaS or tech-focussed environment.
• Demonstrated expertise leading the end-to-end design process, from discovery and user research to prototyping, testing and final delivery.
• Experience with user research methodologies, including surveys, interview scripts and qualitative insight gathering.
• Familiarity with product analytics or behaviour-tracking tools such as FullStory, Google Analytics, Hotjar or similar.
• Proven ability to create high-fidelity, responsive UI designs.
• Strong grasp of visual hierarchy, typography, colour, and layout principles.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate design decisions and collaborate effectively in a remote setting.
• Advanced proficiency in modern design and collaboration tools e.g. Figma, FigJam or Miro.
• Deep understanding of design systems, accessibility standards, and responsive design principles.
• The right to live and work in the UK

You will also be required to submit a portfolio that showcases:

• Strategic UX thinking and problem solving
• Excellence in interaction and visual design
• Consideration for usability, accessibility, and responsive design
• Application of user research insights

Nice to have:

• Experience with legal tech.
• Background in a scale-up or startup environment, ideally in a remote team with under 100 people.

What would your day-to-day look like? 👀

Product Design Leadership

• Contribute the end-to-end UX design process across the product lifecycle - from discovery and ideation through to prototyping, delivery, and post-release iteration.
• Build strong, trust-based relationships with customer-facing teams (Client Success, Support, Sales and Marketing) to surface insights, friction points, and new opportunities.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering to turn product strategy into clear, user-centred design solutions.

Research & Testing

• Conduct user interviews, usability testing and feedback sessions to deeply understand customer needs and evaluate design decisions.
• Use both qualitative insights (from customer conversations) and quantitative data (from FullStory, Amazon Quicksight, or similar tools) to inform UX strategy.
• Partner with Product and Client Success to prioritise and validate design hypotheses through research and testing.

Concepts & Scoping

• Create wireframes, user journeys and prototypes to visualise and communicate ideas and user flows.
• Audit existing workflows to identify areas for improvement, simplification or enhancement.
• Stay informed on UX best practice and emerging trends, ensuring Vable's design approach reflects modern customer expectations.
• Facilitate cross-functional workshops to generate ideas, align priorities, and collaboratively solve problems.
• Actively seek feedback and use it to refine your thinking and iterate on designs.

Execution & Delivery

• Deliver developer ready designs and respond to queries from Engineering and QA as needed.
• Create high-fidelity, responsive UI designs that ensure visual consistency and align with brand guidelines.
• Collaboration with engineers to test across web and mobile, identifying and resolving issues that affect usability or visual consistency.
• Contribute to and help manage Vable's evolving design system, ensuring a coherent and accessible user experience.

Collaboration

• Champion a strong design culture by sharing best practices, facilitating design reviews, and encouraging learning across the team.
• Communicate design rationale clearly and confidently across technical and non-technical audiences.

About you:

As a UX Designer at Vable, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our product's user experience. You combine strategic UX thinking with a strong eye for visual detail, crafting designs that are as beautiful and accessible as they are intuitive.

Yes, we’re looking for someone exceptional, but we believe being a Vabler is pretty exceptional too. We’re a remote-first team that values autonomy, clarity, and collaboration, and we are building something meaningful together.

Here’s the mindset and qualities we're looking for:

• Self Motivated & Results Focused - You take initiative, work independently, and follow through. Delivering high impact work without hand holding.
• Proactive & Detail-Oriented - You spot gaps or opportunities, take action quickly, and know when the details matter most.
• Confident & Independent - You make sound decisions, own your work and thrive in fast-moving environments where not everything is defined upfront.
• Collaborative - You communicate clearly, bring others into the process, and work transparently across disciplines to achieve shared outcomes.
• Organised & Efficient - You keep projects focussed, moving things forward with structure, and bring clarity without overcomplicating.
• Remote-Ready - You're self-directed, responsive, and thrive in a flexible, distributed working environment.

Why This Role Matters

Our Product team is passionate about making technology feel simple, human, and accessible. As part of the team, you’ll turn complex workflows into clear, intuitive experiences that make our customers feel confident, supported, and empowered at every step.

💼 What We Offer

• Real ownership and visible impact: you'll have a genuine chance to create solutions that have a meaningful impact on our users.
• Flexibility: work remotely from anywhere in the UK within a supportive, results-oriented culture.
• Learning and development: dedicated learning time each month and an annual allowance to invest in courses, conferences, or other learning opportunities that support your growth at Vable.
• Meaningful work: contribute to a team that values problem-solving, collaboration, and delivering user-centric products.
• Wellbeing & benefits that actually mean something: competitive package, employee assistance resources, and a culture that cares about people, not just output.

Our Values

💚 The way we work reflects our values daily:

• We take ownership & deliver - we're accountable and make things happen
• We’re curious - we ask questions, explore ideas, and keep learning
• We’re always a team - we succeed together, never alone
• We’re kind & empathetic - we support each other as people, not just colleagues

Application & Interview Process

Submit your CV along with a short cover note and respond to some questions. We believe in a thorough but efficient selection process that gives you the opportunity to demonstrate both your technical and communication strengths. The exact format may vary, but typically includes:

• Initial conversation with our People team - an informal chat to learn about your background, motivation, and fit for the role.
• Technical and practical interview - this stage will be with two members of our product team, in which applicants will be assessed on how they approach a design problem.
• Final interview - this is with senior members of the team to discuss collaboration style, ownership, and growth potential.

Total process: 2-3 weeks and around 5 hours
