WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
We are looking for a UX Designer who is passionate about creating intuitive, human-centred experiences across complex digital ecosystems. You enjoy solving real user problems, simplifying journeys, and designing seamless experiences that feel connected and personalised.
You are a strong collaborator who can influence across teams, balance user needs with business goals, and bring clarity to complex challenges. You thrive in environments where you can shape experiences end-to-end and make a measurable impact.
THE ROLE:
We’re looking for a UX Designer to shape and own the end-to-end delegate, client (exhibitor/sponsor), and internal customer experience across CloserStill’s ecosystem of tools, technologies, and applications.
This role focuses on designing a unified, human-centred journey, from the first touchpoint through to post-event engagement, ensuring experiences feel simple, personalised, and connected across all platforms.
You will work across registration, event apps, websites, onsite technologies, and internal platforms to remove friction, improve clarity, and foster meaningful human connections at scale.
Key responsibilities include:
Defining and designing the end-to-end delegate and visitor experience across the digital ecosystem
Creating cohesive and consistent UX across multiple products and touchpoints
Leading UX thinking to simplify registration flows and improve conversion
Designing personalisation strategies to enhance relevance for different audience groups
Mapping customer journeys and service blueprints to identify pain points and opportunities
Creating high-fidelity prototypes to validate concepts and communicate design intent
Translating user needs, business goals, and technical constraints into intuitive experiences
Collaborating with Product, Technology, Marketing, Operations, and Event teams
Conducting user research, usability testing, and feedback sessions
Producing wireframes, prototypes, and user flows to clearly communicate solutions
Championing accessibility, inclusive design, and UX best practices
Supporting the evolution of design systems and standards for scalability and consistency
ABOUT YOU:
Proven experience designing UX for complex digital products or platforms
Strong understanding of user-centred design, journey mapping, and service design
Experience designing across ecosystems rather than single products
Ability to balance user needs with commercial and operational realities
Comfortable working cross-functionally and influencing without authority
Strong communication skills and the ability to explain design decisions clearly
Proficiency with tools such as Figma, FigJam, Sketch, or similar
A portfolio demonstrating end-to-end UX thinking and problem-solving
Nice to have:
Experience in events, marketplaces, SaaS, or large-scale consumer platforms
Familiarity with CRM systems, registration platforms, event apps, or identity management
