** Imagen is a leading cloud-based media management and distribution platform. We have a rich history of empowering top-tier rights owners in sports, media, and enterprise to unlock the full potential of their vast media libraries through powerful content storage, enrichment, and delivery capabilities. We are on a transformative journey to become a truly product-driven, AI-powered, and innovative solution. As the sports media distribution landscape changes, with streaming, fan engagement and personalisation increasingly important for rights owners, the platform chosen by many of the leading organisations also needs to evolve.

This role is about moving beyond a traditional media archive and helping Imagen stand out in a rapidly changing market.

We're looking for a Lead UX Designer to own product design for our platform. You'll care about creating great user experiences, have strong experience with content management systems, and be comfortable combining clear UX direction with hands-on design delivery to solve complex problems.

You'll be the senior, hands-on UX designer for the platform. You will collaborate with the Director of Product Management. Together, you'll modernise the UI and information architecture, and build and mature the design system. You'll also be part of the wider UX organisation and help improve alignment across teams as we mature our ways of working, driving greater consistency over time and coaching and mentoring junior designers through feedback, guidance, and design reviews.

You should be confident as the senior design voice in the room, make practical decisions, and want your work used by organisations like the Premier League, WTA, and the Saudi Pro League.
** About the Role
** As our Lead UX Designer, you'll own design for Imagen's core platform (80% of your time) and customer-specific themes (20%), working directly with product managers, engineering, and customers.

Day-to-day, you'll be:
* Redesigning key workflows for media asset search, organization, and distribution
* Optimize user experience for features like AI-based content data enrichment, asset organization and live content distribution.
* Solving complex information architecture problems for users managing millions of assets
* Building out and maturing our design system
* Mentoring designers and occasionally junior team members across the rest of the design organisation.
** About You
** To be our Lead UX Designer, you will likely have:
* 7+ years designing enterprise software, with a portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product design—from IA through to polished UI
* Strong visual design skills with attention to detail and craft
* Experience building or maturing design systems
* Proficiency in Figma and developer collaboration
* Ability to facilitate workshops with stakeholders and customers
* Experience in SaaS product design and data visualization
* Digital asset management, media production, or SaaS experience
* Knowledge of accessibility standards
* Strong communication and collaboration skills
* Curiosity about emerging technologies (including AI) and how they can improve workflows, tooling, and user experiences
** Please note that the Final date to receive applications is Feb. 15th, 2026. All applicants must include work samples / portfolio link in their application.
