Design Jobs in Edinburgh

Description

Product Designer<br /><br />Edinburgh<br />Wordsmith<br /><br />Wordsmith is building the legal operations platform for in-house teams, and we are growing fast.<br />We believe in-house legal is becoming one of the most important functions in the AI era. Every business is moving faster, but legal work is still too often scattered across inboxes, chats, documents, and disconnected systems.<br />Wordsmith brings that work into one system. Requests come in from across the business, AI agents handle the routine, lawyers stay in control where judgment matters, and every step is captured as work happens.<br />We are built for in-house legal, not law firms. Our goal is to help legal teams move faster, reduce unnecessary external counsel spend, and become a function the business can run with.<br />More than 500 companies, including Financial Times, Safelite, Trip.com, Canva, Starling, and Sage, use Wordsmith. Backed by $100M from Index Ventures, General Catalyst, Highland Europe, and others, we are building one of the defining companies in legal AI.<br />The role<br /><br />We’re looking for someone who lives at the intersection of design and code. You’ll work directly with product and engineering to frame the problem, design the flows, then prototype, build, and polish the experiences that make Wordsmith feel effortless, even when the workflows underneath are anything but. This role suits someone who thinks like a designer and builds like an engineer, or the other way round.<br />You’ll design products where the behaviour is not always fixed, the inputs are messy, and the outcome still has to feel simple and reliable. You’ll own that outcome end to end, and you’ll be trusted to run with it on your own.<br />What you will do<br /><br />Design and build the UX and UI: the flows, components, and interactions that simplify complex legal workflows<br /><br />Rapidly prototype new concepts in code to validate ideas before committing to a full build<br /><br />Bridge design and engineering: turn designs into shipped code, and push design forward through technical craft<br /><br />Own the quality of UI implementation across the product, from pixel-perfect execution to the small interactions that make it feel alive<br /><br />Help define product direction, frame ambiguous problems, and design the end-to-end flows behind the interface<br /><br />Contribute to the design system and component libraries that let the team ship faster<br /><br />Use AI as part of how you work, to explore, prototype, and think past traditional UX and UI patterns<br /><br />You might be a fit if<br /><br />You can shape the direction of projects and bring people with you. You’ve earned the trust of engineers, PMs, and senior stakeholders before, and you know how to move a team without holding a mandate<br /><br />You can build and ship your own front-end (TypeScript, React, CSS, animation). AI writes a lot of it now, so the real bar is taste and judgement: knowing what good looks like and getting it the last 10%<br /><br />You are self-sufficient: you can take a problem from ambiguity to shipped experience on your own, no hand-holding required<br /><br />You have an eye for detail and care deeply about craft, in the flows and logic as much as the pixels<br /><br />You finish what you start: polished and shipped, not left at good enough<br /><br />You move fast, prototyping ideas in hours, not days<br /><br />You think in systems and build reusable, maintainable UI<br /><br />You are excited about AI and want to help define new interaction paradigms for an entire industry<br /><br />Nice to have<br /><br />Experience building or scaling design systems<br /><br />Experience building developer tools, technical products, or other complex software for expert users<br /><br />Formal design training, or a track record that makes it irrelevant<br /><br />A real interest in how legal work actually gets done<br /><br />How we work<br /><br />We’re an in-office team in Edinburgh.

Designer, Web &amp; Brand<br /><br />Full-time · Edinburgh/London<br />Wordsmith is building the AI platform for in-house legal teams. We take the work that used to mean expensive outside counsel and endless email threads and turn it into something fast, in-house, and genuinely good to use.<br />We just closed our Series B. That means more people, more product, and a lot more brand to build. Which is where you come in.<br />We're looking for a designer with serious visual taste to lead our work across web and brand. Not someone who waits for a brief and colors it in, but someone who can pick up an ambiguous problem and turn it into something sharp. For us it's both how it works and how it looks, down to the last pixel and the last full stop. We care about craft the way good lawyers care about commas.<br />This role sits at the center of how Wordsmith looks and sounds to the world: the website, the campaigns, the brand system, the events we show up at, and the small details that make people stop and pay attention.<br />Location and work mode<br /><br />This role is based in Edinburgh or London. We like being in the same room for the messy, generative parts of the work, and we trust people to do focused work wherever they do it best.<br />What you'll do<br /><br />Design and build the website and landing pages, working hand in hand with engineers<br /><br />Own and evolve the Wordsmith brand system across every surface it lives on<br /><br />Partner with marketing and copy to turn ideas into campaigns that carry across channels<br /><br />Bring the brand into the real world, designing everything from our stand and collateral at events to merchandise and the details people remember on the way out<br /><br />Sweat the motion, the interaction, and the detail until each piece feels inevitable<br /><br />What we're looking for<br /><br />A body of work that speaks louder than a CV. We care about what you've made, not where you studied<br /><br />Excellent visual, UI, motion, and interactive design skills<br /><br />An instinct for taste and judgment. Knowing what to cut, what to keep, and when something is not good enough yet<br /><br />A bias for action. You see what needs doing and start, without waiting for a brief or permission<br /><br />Comfort working in the open, shipping fast, and iterating with engineers in real time<br /><br />A genuine love for the craft, and an allergy to the generic<br /><br />What we offer<br /><br />Competitive salary and meaningful equity<br /><br />The chance to define a brand at the moment it scales, not maintain one that's already set<br /><br />A small, opinionated team that cares deeply about the work and the people doing it<br /><br />Modern tooling and the autonomy to use it well<br /><br />#J-18808-Ljbffr
