Company mission
Provide AI-powered threat, risk and geopolitical intelligence solutions to government, commercial, and third sector partners to support national security and help organisations keep their people safe.
Role
Who you are
- At least 5 years experience in digital product design.
- Bachelor’s degree in Product Design, Interaction Design, Graphic Design, or a closely related field.
- A strong portfolio showcasing user-centric, bespoke design work for SaaS products, that reflects both creativity and a strategic approach to brand expression.
- Demonstrated track record of creating original and innovative designs that are tailored to unique brand identities. Your portfolio should reflect a mastery of custom design work, where every piece is as functional as it is distinctively on-brand.
- Proven experience in designing for complex, data-rich applications, ideally with some exposure to AI-powered platforms.
- Strong proficiency in design and prototyping tools (ideally Figma).
- Strong proficiency with building, maintaining and scaling design systems.
- Excellent understanding of user-centered design principles, UX/UI best practices, and responsive design.
- Ability to work closely with engineering teams, understanding technical constraints and balancing them with design requirements.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience presenting designs and gathering feedback from stakeholders.
- Experience conducting and applying findings from user research and usability testing.
- Deep understanding of accessibility standards and how to incorporate them into product design.
Desirable
- Experience working in a fast-paced start-up environment.
- Familiarity with AI/ML technologies and how they impact user experience design.
- Experience working on enterprise-level SaaS products or complex B2B platforms.
- Knowledge of front-end development principles (HTML, CSS) and how designs translate to code.
- Familiarity with design systems and the ability to scale them across multiple teams or products.
- Master’s degree in Design, Interaction Design, or related fields.
- Passion for AI and emerging technologies, with a strong desire to stay on the cutting edge of design and technology trends.
What the job involves
- Work on the design end-to-end for our AI-driven products, from concept to delivery, under the supervision of the Design Director.
- Collaborate with the Head of Product and engineers to define user needs, translating them into seamless and intuitive user experiences.
- Develop wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that clearly communicate design concepts and interaction flows.
- Conduct user research, usability testing, and analysis to drive data-driven design decisions. We take a co-participatory approach to UI/UX design, where users are seen as partners in the product development process rather than subjects to be studied.
- Create and maintain a cohesive visual identity across the product suite, ensuring consistency and scalability.
- Present design concepts and strategies to stakeholders, incorporating feedback and balancing user experience with business goals.
- Work closely with the AI team to ensure that AI features are presented in a user-friendly and understandable manner.
- Advocate for design excellence and usability best practices.
- Stay updated on industry trends and competitor products, especially in the AI and B2B SaaS space.
- Please note, ExTrac provides services to a number of different government clients, some of which specify nationality criteria for individuals seeking Security Clearance (SC). Given this, we can only consider applications from individuals who hold a passport from the UK, another NATO member state, Australia or New Zealand.

Our take
Traditional intelligence gathering often struggles to keep pace with the evolving nature of threats. Siloed approaches focus solely on physical or online risks and miss the complex interplay between the two, leaving organisations vulnerable.
ExTrac offers a comprehensive approach, with its system bridging the physical and online divide, providing real-time insights into a broad range of threats, including terrorism, violent extremism, disinformation, and crime. Its Co-Analyst tool allows even non-experts to obtain valuable insights and make faster, more informed decisions.
The company's innovative technology and focus on user-friendliness positions it to empower a wide range of organisations to proactively manage risk. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, ExTrac is poised for continued growth, with a wealth of opportunity on its horizon.
