You have the option to progress with us on a technical career track. No need to go onto the Partner career track if this doesn’t align with what you want to do. * Hybrid working - our approach is to be in the office or on client site a minimum of 2 days per week. * Work on a broad variety of projects and tech stacks for clients across seven sectors - no project is ever the same * Join other experts within our supportive and collaborative tech community through knowledge-sharing and peer-level support, coaching and mentoring * Deepen your expertise through our a culture of learning and growth – you’ll have budget to take courses (technical and non-technical training), plus gain certifications
About the role 🚀
As a UX/UI Designer at PA Consulting, you’ll design practical, usable interfaces and flows that move products from 0 --> 1 and beyond. You’ll sometimes sit at the heart of multidisciplinary delivery teams and sometimes contribute as an individual designer embedded with a client—all while staying connected to our Design discipline and the wider Digital & Data community.
You’ll flex to different contexts—one week shaping product UI for a global consumer brand, the next helping visualise journeys for a UK services client—always focused on real outcomes and pragmatic craft-proud delivery.
What you’ll do 🌱
* Design user journeys, flows, wireframes, prototypes (manually and using Figma Make, or similar generative platforms) and UI that support shipping working software across web and mobile * Take concepts from concept to production‑ready designs and iterate based on evidence or judgement and market-leading best practices * Work at pace in agile dual‑track cycles (discovery and delivery), adapting scope and fidelity as needed to meet the goals of both projects, organisations and users alike * Often partner with engineering, product and other designers to make practical decisions quickly both on and off projects * Contribute to and use design systems; keep patterns consistent and accessible. * Apply AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Miro, ChatGPT, Claude, agentic workflows, and other generative tooling) to speed ideation, auditing, documentation and analysis * Facilitate client workshops, whiteboarding and design reviews, present decisions clearly
Qualifications
Who you are 💭
* A hands‑on UX/UI practitioner with shipped product experience * Comfortable balancing best practice with technical constraints and timelines * Clear and concise when explaining design decisions to any audience * Curious and experimental with AI‑enabled design workflows * A constructive challenger who can reframe problems and propose workable options * Collaborative, adaptable and energised by multidisciplinary delivery
How you operate 🧠
* Break down ambiguity into concrete steps; keep momentum without losing quality * Use AI intentionally to explore options faster and document decisions — never as a crutch * Share early, invite critique, and iterate with evidence * Switch fluidly between team‑based delivery and individual contributor setups * Stay pragmatic: focus on value, feasibility and the next right increment * Fun, creative, energetic and contagiously optimistic
Why this role may not be the right fit
* If you prefer a one‑size‑fits‑all process or fixed toolkit for every problem * If you’re uncomfortable with client‑facing work, facilitation and (sometimes) frequently changing contexts * If you want long‑term, single‑product stability over varied, time‑boxed consulting engagements * If you avoid feedback loops or aren’t comfortable sharing work early * If you’re not open to using AI in your workflow or to actively learning, applying and sharing new tools * If you need strict role boundaries and don’t want to flex to adjacent design activities * If you’re not interested in stretching yourself, taking initiative, or shaping your own growth at PA, this won’t be the right environment
