Bentley Systems is the infrastructure engineering software company, advancing the world's infrastructure – sustaining both the global economy and the environment. Within Bentley, the Design organization shapes meaningful experiences – from brand to in-product interactions – with clarity, coherence, and craft.
You'll be part of the Digital Design team — a group of designers, and problem-solvers focused on transforming Bentley’s digital experience. In this role, you'll lead design across Bentley's buying experience — working closely with Marketing, Digital, Sales, and Engineering to shape how users discover, evaluate, and purchase our products – from first touchpoint through to checkout.
This is a leadership role for someone who is equally invested in their people, their craft, and their impact. You'll develop a high-performing team, drive a more coherent buying experience, and ensure the work you ship moves the needle for Bentley's growth.
-
Lead and develop the team: Coach and develop your Designers through regular 1:1s, honest feedback, and genuine investment in their careers. Create the conditions for great work — shared clarity on priorities, the safety to experiment, and high standards for craft. Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and supporting performance across the portfolio.
-
Drive experience transformation: Lead the Design work to consolidate and reimagine Bentley's buying experiences — bringing fragmented journeys together into something coherent, considered, and conversion-focused. Use design thinking and facilitation to align teams and turn that alignment into experiences that are clear, trustworthy, and effective at every touchpoint.
-
Drive outcomes, not just outputs: Work cross-functionally to define what good looks like — conversion, engagement, drop-off, user confidence — and connect your team's design decisions directly to those metrics. Draw on data and user insight to understand where experiences are underperforming and why. Make outcome-thinking part of how the team works every day.
-
Own discovery and delivery: Hold both ends of the process with equal rigour. Discovery means deeply understanding the problem before designing the solution — through research, usability evaluation, and talking to real users. Delivery means shipping work that performs, iterating based on evidence, and maintaining quality under pressure. Your laser focused on building a team that does both well.
-
Raise the bar for design quality: Set high expectations across UX, UI, interaction design, IA, accessibility, and content clarity. Coach designers to think about the person on the other side — their psychology, their hesitations, the moments where trust is won or lost. Contribute to the design system as a foundation for consistency and scale.
-
Be a strong collaborative voice across disciplines: Communicate decisions, trade-offs, and rationale clearly — in commercial rooms and design rooms alike. Bring the user perspective into every shared conversation and help the wider team make better decisions because design is at the table.
-
Help define design in an AI-augmented world: Help your team explore and integrate AI tools in ways that genuinely improve the work — faster exploration, sharper synthesis, less time on repetitive production. And be the person leading the charge on where AI helps, and where human judgment needs to lead?
-
Strong track record contributing to digital buying or growth experiences – ecommerce, conversion flows, content-led journeys, or equivalent
-
A solid foundation across UX, UI, and interaction design – enough to coach others, spot quality issues, and know when to bring in specialist support
