Senior Product Designer

Senior Product Designer

At Vector Technology Solutions (VTS), we're on a mission to revolutionise how energy data is managed, accessed, and used, both in Aotearoa and around the world.

A wholly owned subsidiary of Vector and working in close partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), we're building global, cloud-native data platforms that unlock the power of energy information. Our goal is to enable smarter decisions, accelerate innovation, and create a more sustainable future.

We work at the intersection of energy, data, and digital transformation and we're just getting started.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Designer to join our growing design team and help shape the future of our cloud-native energy platform, Diverge. This role is embedded within a cross-functional product team, working closely with engineers, product owners, and tech leads to deliver intuitive, user-first experiences.

You'll be hands-on with UX and UI design, supporting product delivery while also contributing to go-to-market collateral and the evolution of our design system. You'll be the user voice in the room, balancing design fundamentals with practical delivery in a technically complex, engineering-led environment.

Success in this role means leading design across product features and initiatives, building strong relationships with users and stakeholders, and elevating the quality of UI and brand-aligned design assets. You'll also contribute to strategic product decisions and support the growth of the design practice by mentoring junior designers.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working collaboratively, is confident in their design decisions, and is comfortable navigating ambiguity while helping to shape how design operates at VTS.

In a typical week you can expect to:

• Contribute to UX and UI design within a product team, embedded alongside engineers and product leads
• Build strong working relationships with technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Champion design thinking and help grow design maturity by clearly communicating design decisions and their value
• Support onboarding and improve user experience across the platform
• Evolve the Diverge design system and contribute to branding and communication assets
• Design for modularity and customisation across diverse customer groups
• Translate technical complexity into intuitive, user-first design solutions
• Support the platform's expansion into new domains with varying user needs

What you'll bring:

• 5+ years of product/UX design experience, ideally in B2B or enterprise environments
• Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design process and problem-solving
• Expertise in Figma and visual design fundamentals (form, shape, colour, layout)
• Experience in Agile product delivery and cross-functional collaboration
• Ability to conduct and synthesise user research (or willingness to learn)
• Confident communicator who can advocate for design and influence stakeholders
• Passion for UI and visual storytelling, with a strategic mindset
• Experience in branding and supporting sales collateral is a plus
• Familiarity with cloud-native platforms or the energy sector is beneficial

Why join VTS?

• Career Growth: Work closely with our Principal Product Designer and grow your career through formal and informal development opportunities
• Meaningful Work: Tackle complex, real-world challenges that drive innovation
• Flexibility: Hybrid work options and flexible hours
• Wellbeing Support: Access to health and wellbeing initiatives
• Inclusive Culture: Living Wage, Accessibility Tick, and Rainbow Tick accredited
