We are supporting a consultancy partner on a product discovery engagement focused on digital learning experiences for primary-aged children.

This role requires a senior UX/Design Lead with experience working in a Product Trio setup, alongside Product and Technical Leads. You will help shape, prototype, test and validate ideas in a highly agile, continuous discovery environment.

The work is focused on designing engaging, personalised and effective learning experiences for children aged 6-11, so previous experience in EdTech, education products, or learning-focused digital products is essential.

• Prototype and test concepts quickly to validate ideas
• Design engaging learning experiences for primary school-aged children
• Translate user insight and discovery findings into clear design direction
• Collaborate with product, editorial, technical and research colleagues
• Support continuous discovery and rapid movement towards value

• Proven experience as a UX Lead, Product Designer or Design Lead
• Experience working in a Product Trio model
• Strong continuous discovery experience
• EdTech, education product or learning experience design background
• Experience designing for primary school-aged children, ideally ages 6-11
• Experience designing personalised, engaging or gamified digital experiences
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, multidisciplinary product teams
• T-shaped design leadership rather than a narrow UX-only discipline focus

This is a strong opportunity for a UX/Design Lead with genuine education product experience to work on a meaningful discovery engagement focused on younger learners.
