About TalentMapper
TalentMapper is an AI-powered talent management platform used by some of the UK’s most recognised organisations. We help companies understand the skills, ambitions, and potential of every person in their workforce, then connect that insight to succession plans, internal mobility, and career development.
We’re building technology that helps people discover career paths they didn’t know existed. Most of our team have personally faced barriers to career growth. This work is personal to us.
We’ve validated the platform with major enterprise clients and are now at an inflection point: evolving from a functional product to a world-class user experience. This role is the catalyst for that shift.
You’ll hold an equal seat in our trio alongside Product & Engineering. You’ll have the autonomy to define process and the influence to shape the product’s direction, shaping what gets built and why.
What You’ll Do
- Design across our full product landscape, crafting complex, data-rich dashboards for HR leaders on desktop, while creating frictionless, intuitive mobile experiences for frontline employees.
- Own the end-to-end visual design of new features and improvements across all user journeys, from wireframe to high-fidelity handoff.
- Help us mature our visual language. We don’t expect a full design system on day one, but you’ll lead the effort to gradually standardise our components and patterns over the next 12 months to improve consistency and speed.
- Create rapid prototypes, from low-fidelity wireframes and Wizard of Oz tests through to polished Figma mockups, to validate ideas with clients and stakeholders before committing to build.
What We’re Looking For
- At least five years of demonstrable experience in a Product Design or UX/UI role within a SaaS or enterprise environment.
- A strong portfolio that shows mobile-first design thinking and a clear eye for visual craft.
- Proficiency with Figma as your primary design tool and an interest in leveraging AI to accelerate design workflows.
- Comfort working across the full design spectrum: from rough sketches and scrappy prototypes through to pixel-perfect deliverables and marketing collateral.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate design rationale to non-design stakeholders and hold your own in strategic conversations. You’ll be the voice of Design.
Why TalentMapper
- EMI share options: a genuine financial stake in the company’s growth with significant early-stage upside.
- Real influence: you’ll shape what gets built and why, not execute from a ticket queue.
- Mission that matters: we’re helping people discover career paths they didn’t know existed.
Our Values
Everyone at TalentMapper is united by a shared commitment to unleashing potential:
- Be innovative. Seek and welcome new approaches to everyday tasks and behaviours.
- Be inclusive. Understand, respect, and respond to the intersectional needs of our team and clients.
- Challenge the status quo. Question and evaluate existing structures and processes.
- Remove barriers. Focus on efficiency and performance by eradicating bias and exclusive processes.
TalentMapper is an inclusive employer. We’re fully committed to creating a workplace where everyone can be their true self and feel valued for who they are and what makes them unique. We operate a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of discrimination and always go beyond our legal obligations to ensure your wellbeing and engagement is our priority, regardless of your background.
