Solutions Designer - Exeter - Iridium Consulting Ltd
Description
In this position, you will work closely with the founder and technical team, becoming hands‑on with our existing design work from the outset. The immediate focus will be on understanding our current architecture, client context, and delivery approach, with the near‑term goal of supporting a new project that extends an established system. You will contribute directly to shaping new functionality within that framework as you build familiarity and confidence.
As your understanding of our systems and clients deepens, you will take on a more central role in leading requirement translation and shaping solution design. Over time, responsibility for the software design function will increasingly sit with you, supported by the wider team.
Our projects primarily involve data‑driven business systems used internally by our customers to support their day‑to‑day operations. The emphasis is on clarity, efficiency, and practical delivery. Designs must support real operational use cases and balance usability with technical feasibility and delivery constraints.
The role spans both business analysis and design. Early phases may lean more heavily toward solution and interface design to support active delivery, but structured requirement analysis and discovery are essential throughout.
This is a hands‑on role within a small team, suited to someone comfortable operating pragmatically and contributing to the steady development of our design capability as the business grows.
