We’re an award-winning consultancy known for delivering exceptional products and services through technology. We work closely with organisations to help them accelerate value delivery and create outstanding customer experiences. Our purpose is simple: to empower organisations to make a real difference for people, society, and the planet through technology that’s efficient, user-friendly, and solves problems fast.
At Burendo, we believe that together, we can achieve incredible things.
What sets us apart is how we work. We pride ourselves on a pragmatic attitude to delivery: we think big, plan practically, adapt quickly, and always focus on results. We embrace innovation, challenge the status quo, and foster collaboration at every step. Caring for people is at the heart of what we do, and we love to share what we learn.
We’re looking for a Senior UX Designer to champion users on client projects, shaping products that work for people and for the business. You’ll lead and support other designers, and take on ambiguous problems where the answer isn’t obvious yet.
