Whiteshield is a integral advisory firm helping governments navigate big, world-shaping challenges - from economic transformation to education, employment, and innovation. We work at the intersection of policy, data, and technology, building products that don't just inform decisions, but improve lives.
Design is central to how we work. It's how we turn complexity into clarity, dense systems into intuitive experiences, and ambitious ideas into products people genuinely enjoy using.
WHERE YOU FIT IN We are looking for a Design Lead who can transition easily from early ideas to polished execution, always keeping the user in mind.

Raise the bar for visual quality, interaction design, and overall experience across all Whiteshield products. User Experience & Product Execution Lead research and design sprints to deeply understand diverse users - citizens, students, jobseekers, policymakers, businesses, and institutions. Translate complex policy, data, and services into intuitive, human-centered journeys.



Design experiences that feel simple, accessible, and culturally relevant across regions and audiences. Communicate design decisions clearly and persuasively, especially with non-design stakeholders. Champion design as a strategic function, not just a delivery role.
Requirements WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR We place less emphasis on titles and tenure, and more on demonstrated design capability.
A portfolio that shows strong visual design, thoughtful UX, and clear problem-solving.
Fluency in English; additional languages are a plus.
You will have room to explore ideas, test approaches, and raise the bar for design quality - even in complex, regulated environments. You'll work alongside talented people across policy, data, design, and technology - bringing different perspectives together to solve complex problems well.
We operate in an outcome-driven, remote-friendly way that respects individual working styles. Good performance, ownership, and delivery are recognised through meaningful feedback, development opportunities, and long-term career progression.
