We're looking for a talented and detail-obsessed Senior UI Designer to join our Customer Experience team in an embedded capacity with one of Saudi Arabia's leading banks. This is a role defined by visual craft, you'll be the person who makes things look and feel exceptional, working within and helping to evolve a sophisticated, enterprise-grade design system used across millions of customer touchpoints.

You'll be working within the client's Riyadh office, collaborating directly with their product and design teams day-to-day, while remaining a valued member of the VML agency team - joining department meetings, contributing to team culture, and benefiting from the development and support structures the agency provides.

This is a rare kind of embedded role. The client is mature from a design perspective, with a well-established design system, a product-oriented mindset, and a working culture that genuinely respects and enables good design. You'll have the conditions to do your best work.

Your focus will be on the visual layer, producing high-fidelity, pixel-precise UI across a complex digital banking product suite, ensuring every screen, component, and interaction reflects both the design system and the highest standards of visual quality. You'll work closely with UX designers, the design system lead, product managers, and engineers to bring experiences to life with clarity, consistency, and care. 

<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What you'll do</h2>
<ul><li>Produce high-quality, high-fidelity UI designs across a wide range of digital banking products and features, from mobile app screens to complex web-based product interfaces.</li>
<li>Work confidently within an existing enterprise-scale design system - applying components correctly, maintaining rigorous visual consistency, and contributing thoughtfully to its evolution where genuine gaps or improvements are identified.</li>
<li>Translate wireframes, flows, and product requirements into polished, production-ready visual designs that balance aesthetic quality with usability and technical feasibility.</li>
<li>Collaborate closely with UX designers, product managers, and front-end engineers to ensure designs are implemented to the intended visual standard.</li>
<li>Provide visual design QA at key stages of development, reviewing implemented features against design intent and raising issues with precision and clarity.</li>
<li>Manage your own workload across multiple concurrent features or product areas, prioritising effectively in a fast-paced product environment.</li>
<li>Participate in regular VML department meetings and contribute to the wider CX team's knowledge sharing, culture, and development.</li></ul> 


You will have
<ul>
<li>6+ years of experience in UI and visual design, with a portfolio that demonstrates exceptional craft, typographic skill, and a strong eye for detail, hierarchy, and consistency.</li>
<li>Proven experience working within an enterprise-scale design system - not just using it, but understanding it deeply, applying it with discipline, and contributing to its growth in a structured, governed way.</li>
<li>Experience designing for complex, large-scale digital products - you understand the challenges of designing at scale and know how to balance consistency with the need to solve new problems.</li>
<li>A strong command of Figma, including component architecture, auto-layout, variables, and design token conventions.</li>
<li>The ability to take a wireframe or a concept and elevate it, you bring visual thinking to every brief and leave every screen better than you found it.</li>
<li>Experience collaborating directly with clients and client-side teams, working with autonomy, professionalism, and a constructive, solutions-focused mindset.</li>
<li>The ability to work independently in an embedded setting while remaining connected to and actively contributing to a wider agency team.</li>
<li>Experience in financial services, banking, or a similarly regulated, large-scale product environment is a strong advantage &mdash; familiarity with the complexity and compliance constraints of banking products will help you hit the ground running.</li>
<li>A strong understanding of usability principles and how people actually interact with digital interfaces - Gestalt principles, visual hierarchy, cognitive load, affordance - you apply these not as theoretical frameworks but as practical tools that inform every design decision you make.</li></ul> 


You will be 

<ul>
<li>Based in Riyadh, or willing to relocate</li>
<li>A native Arabic speaker</li>
</ul><ul><li>Willing to dedicate normal working hours (9-6), not in parallel with other working commitments.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Willing to spend time in the office each working day.</li></ul> 


About the Team

You'll be joining VML's 20+ strong MENA CX department, spread across three countries and made up of visual designers, UX architects, researchers, and strategists. Although you'll be embedded with the client in Riyadh, you'll remain a full member of our team, attending regular department meetings, contributing to our culture, and benefiting from the skills frameworks, mentorship, and growth opportunities the agency offers.

The client environment itself is one of the best you'll find in the region. This is a design-mature organisation that has invested seriously in product and design capability. They have an established design system, a collaborative team culture, and a genuine respect for the value of good design. You'll have the support of both the client team around you and the VML agency behind you. 

<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Why This Role is Different</h2>

Embedded agency roles can vary enormously. This one stands out. The client is experienced, design-forward, and committed to building products the right way. You won't be fighting for a seat at the table, design already has one. You'll be working in a well-structured product environment with a design system that works, a team that collaborates, and stakeholders who understand what UX is for.

At the same time, you'll keep the benefits of being part of an agency, variety, community, development frameworks, and a team of specialists to learn from and grow alongside.

If you're a hybrid designer who wants to work on products that matter, in an environment that enables great work, and with the backing of both a world-class client and a leading global agency, we'd love to hear from you.

#LI-EMEA<div>
We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we've adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office an average of four days a week. If you require accommodations or flexibility, please discuss this with the hiring team during the interview process.
