InPlace is a B2B SaaS platform for work-integrated learning and clinical placements. Our software helps students complete their degrees and enter the workforce with real-world experience. We serve education and healthcare organisations across ANZ, UK/EU, North America and the Middle East. The easier we make our users' work, the greater our impact on health, education, engineering, and other industries, improving student employability everywhere.

Product teams work in squads that pair product and design with engineering. Each squad can act fast, fix issues quickly, and build new features from market feedback in parallel. Every squad uses AI tools, and we share AI wins across squads.

InPlace values people who deliver outcomes over activity, bring real expertise, stay calm and focused, communicate straight up, step up to do more, ask for and give help, and just get on with it.

About the role

You are in from the start of a problem: product discovery, then shaping the feature and design as it takes form. There is a healthy balance of zero to one, along with refining existing products. You’ll lead visual craft across the product and the design system it’s built on.

What you will do

● Work with the product team from discovery onward. You are a maker here, not someone who only reviews other people's work.

● Bring design and product direction together, working with the Product team to land decisions the company can stand behind.

● Take on brand new problems. Get to the root of what the user actually needs, strip it back to first principles, and work out approaches nobody has tried.

● Product team members often build their own prototypes. You’ll run the design review on them, giving clear direction on what works and what doesn’t.

● Take approved prototypes the rest of the way, turning rough work into strong visual design quickly,



without letting the screen drift from what the user is trying to do.

● Own, lead and evolve the design system, style guide, and keep the Storybook component library in step with design, working with the front-end tech lead to ensure a rigorous, consistent user experience.

● Give developers design requirements they can build from without guessing, and stay close through build so what ships matches what was designed

● Use Claude and Claude Code day-to-day, including vibe coding small tools that save the team time.

● Design with and champion accessibility (WCAG) in mind from the outset, not as a bolt-on.

What we are looking for

● You have designed for B2B SaaS. This one is not negotiable.

● Genuinely strong visual design, with a portfolio that shows it

● Hands-on experience building and evolving a design system and component library, working with engineers to keep design and code in sync.

● Good interaction design, micro-interactions, journey mapping and copy.

● You have worked in complex problem spaces and can make them straightforward, with workflows that cut friction and complexity for the user.

● You’re comfortable giving clear, constructive feedback to people who aren’t designers, including on prototypes they’ve built themselves.

● You put the user first, you are comfortable in Agile and Lean, and you test your assumptions rather than trust them.

● You push for data-backed decisions, and you expect the people around you to do the same.

● You know your way around accessibility and can turn WCAG into something developers can actually follow.

● You get the business side too: cost, ROI and trade-offs.

About you

● You care about the craft and keep up with where it is heading.

● You have opinions, and you will argue them, but you know when to let one go.

● You are always looking for ways to scale yourself. You sharpen your own skills, and ensure practices are followed even when you’re not around
