Build your future with Sovos.

If you're seeking a career where innovation meets impact, you've come to the right place. As a global leader, Sovos is transforming tax compliance from a business requirement to a force for growth while revolutionizing how businesses navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape.

At Sovos, we're dedicated to more than just solving compliance challenges – we're committed to making a positive and lasting difference in everything we do. Our teams operate on the modern edge of digital technology, working not only to solve complex business challenges but also to enrich our personal, professional, and local communities.

Our purpose-built systems provide the tools you need to thrive in a world where governments demand increased visibility, faster reporting and greater control over business processes. Excited about the possibilities? So are we!

Don't worry if you don't check all the boxes – apply anyway! We're focused on hiring the right people, not just the "right" resume. It's not about what you've done elsewhere; it's all about what you're capable of doing here.

The Work You'll Do:

As a UX Designer at Sovos, you'll design digital products and tools that deliver exceptional experiences for both our external and internal customers. These experiences exist to make tax compliance easy for small businesses, accounting firms, and mid-sized organisations, and we believe the user experience is a core differentiator. This is a junior to mid-level position, but as part of a collaborative and engaged product team, you'll be able to learn and grow in your career through mentorship and a connection to other designers at Sovos.

In this role, you'll be responsible for designing the interface and interaction flow of digital product experiences anchored in – and informed by – customer feedback and research insights. You'll work in close collaboration with a team of developers and product leaders to craft and deliver user experiences that consider the goals and constraints of the project. We believe that your first idea is rarely the best idea, so iteration will be a key part of this role. To support you, you'll be part of a feedback cycle that will not only strengthen your design but provide valuable learnings as you grow in your experience as a designer.

You'll be the perfect fit for this role if:

  • You are a naturally curious person
  • You're driven to solve problems in creative ways
  • You enjoy collaborating, learning, and growing with a team
  • You are passionate, driven, and humble in your approach
  • You're excited about solving complex challenges
  • You take an iterative approach to design
  • You're proactive and biased towards action
  • You carry a high degree of self-awareness

More specifically, you will:

  • Follow design best practices when crafting user flows, mockups, prototypes, and other design deliverables
  • Leverage AI-powered design tools to accelerate ideation, prototyping, and iteration cycles
  • Collaborate with developers and key stakeholders to gather context that will inform your designs
  • Deliver just the right amount of detail and fidelity in your designs (you'll be supported in this)
  • Utilise AI tools to enhance productivity, generate design variations, and explore creative solutions more efficiently
  • Test and iterate on ideas before getting attached to them
  • Create full, end-to-end design deliverables that ensure successful implementation
  • Demonstrate a commitment to personal development and learning

What We Need From You

  • Bachelor's Degree or equivalent, relevant work experience
  • 1-3 years in product design or related field
  • A portfolio that demonstrates excellence in crafting user-centric digital experiences (must include examples of contemporary, high-fidelity designs, plus context and background for each project)
  • Familiarity and some level of experience with the design lifecycle
  • Proven ability to exemplify our "Be Collaborative" core value
  • Strong visual design skills at low, medium, and high fidelity
  • Demonstrated ability to rationalise and justify design decisions and communicate complex ideas
  • Proficiency with modern design tools such as Sketch or Figma (preferred)
  • Experience with or enthusiasm for AI-powered design tools and a willingness to integrate them into your workflow
  • A willingness to have fun while Solving Tax for Good®
