AI Product Designer

About Tangent

We’re Tangent, a digital agency partnering with some of the world’s largest enterprises to design future-ready experiences, products and capabilities.

Our multidisciplinary design team spans strategy, UX and UI, with a growing focus on LLM-powered interfaces and AI-enabled design workflows. We work closely with engineers and client teams to turn complex challenges into clear, practical direction and deliver work that genuinely scales.

We’re now looking for a mid-weight Product Designer who has a strong design foundation and who’s excited by how design is evolving and wants to help shape what modern, AI-powered experiences look and feel like.

What you'll be doing

Discovery, Research and Insight

• Support qualitative and quantitative research activities, using AI-assisted tools to help synthesise insight, identify patterns and inform product direction.
• Translate research into clear experience opportunities, such as where AI-powered interfaces can add meaningful value.
  

Design and Craft

• Own the design of core flows end to end, from framing the problem through to polished, build-ready UI.
• Apply strong interaction design standards, information architecture and visual design (hierarchy, typography, layout, spacing, colour) to make interfaces clear, usable and distinctive.
• Apply your own design judgement to AI-assisted work, so AI augments craft rather than replaces it.

UX and Prototyping

• Own no-code prototypes of your projects, validating and iterating designs early before build.
• Design conversational, adaptive and system-driven interfaces and measure their impact on customer experiences.
  

Design Systems

• Apply and extend design systems ensuring consistency, clarity and scalability across a product.
• Explore how design foundations such as tokens, components and patterns can power adaptive and generative UI experiences.

Conversational, Agentic and LLM-powered Experiences

• Support the design of LLM-powered interfaces, including conversational and agent-like experiences.
• Help shape prompts, flows, states and interaction patterns that sit on top of language models and feel natural, on-brand and genuinely useful, working with engineers to understand strengths and limitations.
  

Client Engagement and Workshops

• Contribute to collaborative workshops that help clients understand emerging technologies and design trends.
• Work alongside senior designers to turn complex ideas into clear, actionable outcomes.
  

Communication and Collaboration

• Clearly explain design decisions, connecting user needs, business goals and emerging technology.
• Share work confidently with internal teams and clients through strong storytelling and visual communication.
• Work with engineers to hand off and review implemented design work against design intent.
  

Innovation and Growth

• Stay curious about new tools, workflows and ways of working, including AI-enabled design and coding workflows, no-code tools and AI-assisted prototyping.
• Contribute ideas that help Tangent evolve its design practice.
  

What we are looking for

We’re looking for a mid-weight designer with strong digital design foundations and a genuine interest in LLM-powered interfaces and GenUI.

You can demonstrate:

• A portfolio showing strong design craft fundamentals across both UX and UI with clear decision rationale
• Confidence using modern design tools such as Figma, with emerging AI tools a plus
• Experience prototyping and iterating ideas, including interactive or conversational experiences
• Interest or hands-on exposure to LLM-powered interfaces, conversational UX or GenUI through client work, internal projects, prototypes or personal exploration
• Design systems literacy, with an understanding of how systems enable scale, especially in AI-driven products
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Comfort working through ambiguity and evolving problems
• Curiosity, adaptability and a desire to keep learning
• Attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture
• Alignment with Tangent’s values and culture
  

We believe AI should augment foundational design skill, so while you don’t need to be an AI expert, you should be excited by where design is heading. Curiosity or experience around AI-driven workflows, no-code tools or AI-assisted build approaches is a definite plus.

We provide continuous opportunities for improvement and career development. From specific training or qualifications to event attendance, we encourage our teams to stay curious, nurture their skills and reach their ambitions.
