As a Behavioural Designer, you’ll work directly on client projects — translating behavioural research and BeSci frameworks into designed interventions that actually change what people do. That means working across communications, UX, physical environments and service experiences, applying proprietary neurodesign frameworks and a deep bias bank to produce polished, multi-touchpoint outputs.

You’ll be supported by a team of behavioural scientists and designers who take the quality of their work seriously. You’ll also be expected to bring your own perspective — on the brief, on the behaviour, and on the best way to design for it.

You don’t need to have been doing this for a decade. What matters is that the BeSci and the design craft are both genuinely present — even if you’re earlier in your career. We’re open to candidates with as little as one to two years of relevant experience, provided the fundamentals are there.

Specifically, we’re looking for:

• A grounding in behavioural science — whether through a psychology, cognitive science or behavioural economics degree, or through applied experience working with BeSci frameworks
• Hands-on design execution capability — you can produce client-ready outputs in Figma and/or Adobe Creative Suite independently
• Some exposure to client-facing work, or a clear appetite for it — this team presents and defends their work directly with senior stakeholders at major brands
• Curiosity, rigour and a genuine interest in why people behave the way they do

You’ll be working on genuinely complex briefs for household-name clients, within a team that has built one of the most credible BeSci practices in the UK. There is real opportunity to develop your framework knowledge, your design craft, and your commercial skills in parallel — in an environment where all three are taken seriously.

London-based, hybrid working.

We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds.

Nicholson Glover is a specialist recruitment consultancy founded in 2002. We focus exclusively on four disciplines: Customer Research & Insight, Strategy & Innovation, Data, Analytics & AI, and Product & Technology — placing mid-to-senior professionals with agencies, consultancies, corporate teams, and venture-backed businesses.

• Own the outbound BD activity across priority sectors
• Run the events and thought leadership calendar end-to-end
• Qualify and develop opportunities alongside senior leadership
• Keep the pipeline tight — CRM, reporting, proposition development

You’ve come through a management consulting environment — Big 4, or a firm like Baringa or PA Consulting — and you’re ready to move to the commercial side. You understand how consultancies win work and how senior buyers in complex organisations make decisions.

You’ll bring at least 4 years in BD or commercial development, strong written communication, and the gravitas to hold your own at C-suite level.

• Direct access to CEO and CGO from day one
• Clear path to Senior Manager and Director
• Private health, enhanced mental health support, generous family policies

This isn’t a “go execute someone else’s motion” role. You’ll define ICP, build pipeline from zero, close the first US logos, and lay the foundations for a revenue team. There’s a clear path to VP/Head of Revenue as the team scales. The comp reflects the ambition: $150–180K base, $250–320K OTE, equity with a 5-year exercise window.

Our client is a high-growth, London-founded HR Tech platform building agentic AI for the way enterprises actually work: automating workflows across HR, Finance, and Ops. They’re backed by the founders of Slack, Figma, and Shopify, have raised $20M, and already have paying customers like Lovable, Poolside, and Quantexa. Now they’re building in the US and you’d be their first commercial hire here.

You’ll own full commercial motion of their proprietary product in the US: outbound prospecting, full-cycle selling, early design-partner deals, and GTM asset creation (decks, demos, POVs). You’ll be the direct line between US customers and the product team, feeding in what the market needs. No SDR support. No pre-built pipeline. That’s the point.

📍 San Francisco. On-site Mon–Thu. No visa sponsorship.

You’ve closed $100K+ ARR deals with C-suite or VP buyers: ideally in HR, Finance, or Ops. You’ve been a first or founding sales hire before, and you’ve thrived. You build outbound pipeline from scratch and don’t need a warm brand to get meetings. You’re comfortable selling in a category that’s still being defined, and you can hold a credible conversation about agentic AI with technical and non-technical buyers alike.

You actively use AI tools such as Clay, ChatGPT, and Perplexity in your daily workflow.

This isn’t for someone who needs structure to perform. It’s for someone who finds ambiguity energising and ownership motivating.

This isn’t a production design seat. You’ll be leading the application of behavioural design on client projects — translating research and BeSci insight into polished, commercially effective interventions across communications, UX, physical environments and service experiences.

You’ll also be pushing how the team works: developing new approaches, contributing to proprietary neurodesign frameworks, and helping raise the bar for junior designers around you.

Day to day you’ll be:

• Owning key sections or full deliverables on client projects, from concept through to final output
• Applying behavioural science principles across multiple touchpoints and sectors
• Presenting and defending your work directly to clients, adapting your communication style to different audiences
• Contributing to proposals and supporting the commercial pipeline
• Mentoring and supporting junior team members

You’ll have meaningful experience applying behavioural science frameworks within design work — not just awareness of BeSci, but genuine fluency in how it shapes decisions and how to make that tangible through design. You’re as comfortable in Figma as you are discussing cognitive load or choice architecture.

Specifically:

• A degree in Design, Psychology, Behavioural Science or a related field
• Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite
• A strong portfolio of conceptually driven, behaviourally grounded work
• Proven client-facing experience — presenting, defending, building relationships
• Experience across varied touchpoints and sectors
• Curiosity about where behavioural design is heading — AI, motion, prototyping

Why this role

• Access to proprietary neurodesign frameworks and tools you won’t find in most organisations
• A genuinely multidisciplinary team — behavioural scientists, designers and strategists — working on complex, high-profile briefs for major brands
• Real professional development, not just a line in a job spec
• A culture that takes the quality of its work seriously without taking itself too seriously

Our client is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds.

• Own the creative standard for a respected, growing consultancy
• Work closely with senior strategists on high-stakes client work
• Genuine influence on how the business presents itself — internally and externally

Our client is an insight and strategy consultancy working with some of the world’s leading brands across FMCG, retail, financial services, and technology. They’re entering a new phase of growth — and they need their creative output to match the quality of their thinking.

• Designing and elevating pitch decks, proposals, and credentials materials
• Turning complex data and strategy into clear, compelling visual narratives
• Supporting the BD team with campaign assets and presentation templates
• Contributing creative perspective to client projects and strategic deliverables
• Using AI tools to work smarter and move faster without losing quality

You’ve worked in an agency or consultancy. You know your way around PowerPoint, Figma, and Adobe Creative Suite. You take pride in making things look right — but you also understand why things need to land.

You’re self-sufficient. You don’t need a creative director looking over your shoulder. And you get a quiet satisfaction from knowing your deck was the one that won the room.
