UX Designer, Underwriting
About the role
Bellrock Analytics is hiring a product designer in Edinburgh. You will own flows rather than screens: the research that frames a problem, the options considered, the one shipped, and the measurement that says whether it helped. Design sits in the same reviews as engineering here, from the first sketch onwards.
Hiring in the UK means competing with London salaries wherever the role actually sits, so we pay a single national band rather than discounting outside the M25.
What the work actually looks like
The work spans discovery interviews, interaction and visual design, and the maintenance of the design system that keeps twenty screens looking like one product. You will hand off in Figma with the states and edge cases already thought through, because those are where the real design decisions live. The team works a hybrid week out of Edinburgh, usually three days together and the rest wherever you work best.
What we look for
This is a mid-level role. You should already be able to take a loosely specified problem, break it down and ship it without close supervision. We are looking for a portfolio that shows the problem and the rejected options, not a folder of finished screens. Fluency with Figma components and genuine care about accessibility and the mid-range device are what separate the strong applications.
Working at Bellrock Analytics
We work UK hours, and we treat the right to disconnect as a policy rather than a slogan. The range shown is the annual gross salary band for this role.

Bellrock Analytics
Bellrock Analytics prices risk for specialist insurers: marine cargo, renewable energy assets and commercial property in flood-exposed areas. Underwriters use our models to quote in minutes what used to take a week of spreadsheets and phone calls.
We sit in a regulated market, so every model change is versioned, explainable and reproducible years later. If you like the idea that your work has to survive being audited, you will enjoy it here more than most.
