Why WBS

A Place to Do Real Work

WBS is not a company that makes things — we're a company that makes things happen. Three decades of client delivery has built a culture that values people who are direct, capable, and not easily discouraged.

🌍

Variety of Sector Exposure

With three divisions serving public sector, consumer, and industrial clients, WBS offers a breadth of project experience rarely available in a single firm.

🤝

Multi-Disciplinary Teams

Designers work alongside engineers, developers, and project managers in the same organisation. Cross-discipline perspective is part of how we work, not an aspiration.

📈

Growth and Responsibility

WBS promotes from within wherever possible. People who want to take on more responsibility — and are ready for it — will find the space to do so.

Senior UX Designer

WBS Digital · An Cionn Bán, Co. Cork · Hybrid (3 days on-site required)

Digital UX Design Senior Hybrid

We're looking for a Senior UX Designer to join the WBS Digital team in Cork. You'll work across multiple client projects simultaneously, owning the design process from brief through to handoff. The role requires strong experience in web and mobile product design, the ability to manage client relationships directly, and the resilience to work effectively in a fast-paced delivery environment.

You will: Lead UX on two to three concurrent client projects; conduct user research and translate findings into design decisions; work closely with development teams to ensure design intent is maintained through delivery; present work confidently to clients and senior stakeholders.

We're looking for: 5+ years of UX/product design experience; strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design ownership; experience working in an agency or consultancy environment; familiarity with Figma, Miro, and standard accessibility guidelines.

Candidates are expected to have their own transport or to make appropriate arrangements. Relocation support is not currently available for this role.
