  • Applying gamification principles and behavioural design techniques to encourage repeat play and customer engagement.
  • Conducting user research and translating insights into compelling product experiences.
  • Producing wireframes, prototypes, user flows and high-fidelity designs.
  • Developing scalable design systems that support multiple puzzle formats and partner brands.
  • Collaborating closely with product, engineering and commercial stakeholders throughout delivery.
  • Championing accessibility and inclusive design best practice.
  • Redesigned key elements of Puzzler's white-label digital offering and delivered modern user experiences aligned to the product vision.

  • Established scalable and configurable design systems capable of supporting multiple puzzle types and brands.
  • Enhanced engagement through thoughtful UX, visual design and gamification principles.

Essential Experience

  • Experience designing UX/UI for digital puzzles, mobile games, gaming products or highly gamified digital experiences.
  • Experience creating products that use engagement mechanics such as rewards, achievements, progression systems, personalisation or habit-forming user journeys.
  • Strong experience collaborating with developers throughout build, testing and delivery.
  • Experience creating or evolving scalable design systems.
  • A portfolio demonstrating impactful, user-centred digital product design.

Desirable Experience

  • Experience working on configurable or white-label products.
  • Experience supporting multiple brands, audiences or customer experiences from a common platform.

Skills & Knowledge

You'll bring:

  • Expertise in UX methodologies, including user research, information architecture, journey mapping, wireframing, prototyping and usability testing.
  • A strong understanding of gamification, player motivation, engagement loops and behavioural design.
  • Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and inclusive design principles.
  • Proficiency with modern design tools such as Figma.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain design decisions to technical and non-technical audiences, including commercial teams and senior decision-makers across a white-label product environment.
