Ledger Bennett

Job Description :

Senior UX Strategist

Hello, we are Ledger Bennett, the integrated B2B agency within Havas Group.

We're uniquely positioned at the intersection of entrepreneurial spirit and global scale. Since 1985, we've been obsessed with a singular mission: transforming one-time buyers into Forever Customers, creating long-term value rather than just short-term impact.

We deliver this through the powerful fusion of data, creativity, and media. 

Now, as part of the Havas family, the opportunities have never been bigger. Here, you'll work alongside talent across EMEA, APAC, and North America, partnering with clients like GE, Microsoft and LinkedIn to deliver radical relevance and intelligent customer experiences that drive real growth. 

With 40+ years of B2B expertise and the backing of a global network, Ledger Bennett offers you the rare chance to shape the future of B2B marketing while building a career with no ceiling – just endless opportunity.

We’re looking for a Lead UX Strategist to define and elevate user experience across websites and digital campaigns. This is a client-facing role focused on usability, information architecture, and user validation through testing. You’ll lead the definition of experience frameworks, from structure and flows to wireframes, whilst partnering closely with UX/UI designers who bring these experiences to life visually.

Crucially, this role goes beyond project delivery. You’ll play a key part in shaping and growing the agency’s UX offering, with the opportunity to establish processes, influence strategy, and build a UX team over time.

  • Focus on user journeys, content prioritisation, and functional requirements
  • Provide clear documentation and rationale to support design and development

User Research & Testing

  • Plan and conduct usability testing (moderated and unmoderated)
  • Develop test plans, scripts, and reporting outputs
  • Translate insights into actionable improvements and optimisations

Collaboration & Delivery

  • Partner closely with UX/UI designers to ensure smooth handoff and execution
  • Work cross-functionally with strategy, creative, and development teams
  • Maintain UX integrity throughout the project lifecycle

UX Capability & Team Growth

  • Define and evolve the agency’s UX methodologies, tools, and best practices
  • Identify opportunities to embed UX earlier in the client lifecycle
  • Contribute to new business pitches and thought leadership
  • Support hiring, mentoring, and growing a UX team over time

Required Skills & Experience

  • Strong experience in UX strategy, information architecture, or UX research within an agency or consultancy
  • Proven ability to lead UX on complex, client-facing projects
  • Deep understanding of usability principles and user-centred design
  • Experience creating sitemaps, user flows, and wireframes
  • Hands-on experience conducting user testing and synthesising insights
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Proficiency in tools such as Figma, Miro, Axure, or similar


Success in This Role Looks Like

  • Clear, effective UX strategies that improve usability and performance
  • Strong client confidence in UX as a strategic discipline
