UX Designer (Lagos, Nigeria)

Key Responsibilities

Client-Facing Workshopping

• Join UK-based client calls and workshops where appropriate
• Help explain UX decisions clearly and confidently to non-UX audiences
• Support discovery phases by:
  • Reviewing existing sites
  • Identifying UX issues
  • Asking thoughtful, user-centred questions

(You won’t be expected to lead clients from day one — but you should be comfortable being in the room and growing into this.)

Wireframing & UX Design

• Produce clear, well-structured wireframes for:
  • Website pages
  • Key user journeys
  • Navigation and IA
• Work primarily at low–to–mid fidelity, focusing on clarity, hierarchy, and usability
• Iterate designs based on feedback from:
  • Clients
  • Senior UX leadership

UX Research

• Support and conduct user research, including:
  • User interviews
  • Survey analysis
  • Usability testing (remote tools and moderated sessions)
• Help synthesise research into:
  • Clear insights
  • User needs
  • Practical recommendations
• Contribute to research summaries, findings decks, and insight reports for internal and client use

Content, Accessibility & Charity Context

• Help structure content-heavy pages common to charities (e.g. impact, services, resources, fundraising)
• Work with accessibility best practices in mind (WCAG awareness is important)
• Learn and apply understanding of:
  • UK charity audiences
  • Donation journeys
  • Trust, credibility, and transparency requirements

Technical & Delivery Support

• Work alongside developers on WordPress-based sites
• Understand basic CMS constraints and opportunities
• Support UX decisions with awareness of:
  • SEO best practice
  • Conversion optimisation
  • A/B testing principles (where relevant)

Essential Skills & Experience

• Strong UX fundamentals (research, flows, IA, usability)
• Confident wireframing skills (Figma or similar)
• Excellent written English — able to write clearly for:
  • Research summaries
  • UX rationale
  • Client-facing documentation
• Comfortable collaborating remotely with UK-based teams and clients
• Experience working on content-heavy websites
• Basic working knowledge of WordPress

Desirable (but Not Essential)

• Experience working with charities, NGOs, or public-sector organisations
• Knowledge of:
  • SEO fundamentals
  • Conversion rate optimisation
  • A/B testing tools or approaches
• Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA)
• Experience supporting or observing client workshops
• Visual design skills (Figma)

What This Role Is (and Isn’t)

This role is:

• Hands-on
• Delivery-focused
• A chance to learn directly from a senior UX leader
• Ideal if you want to move beyond “pure production” into strategy and client work
• Client facing

This role is not:

• A visual UI role
• A lone senior UX position
• A role with zero client exposure

Salary:      20M Naira per annum (Plus healthcare, insurance and pension)
Hours:      40 hours per week
Location: Ikate, Lagos, Nigeria
Working: Three days office attendance
