This is a project-based contract role with a confidential client operating a growing digital ticketing platform across the SWANA region, Europe, and the US. The role is remote, with candidates in the MENA region preferred.
You will work closely with the client’s leadership, product, technology, business, marketing, and design teams to understand the existing product, identify user and business opportunities, and shape the next generation of the customer experience.
The engagement will begin with a comprehensive UX and product audit of the existing platform, covering the full customer journey from event discovery and exploration through ticket purchase, ticket access, and the post-event experience.
You will be expected to conduct user research, usability testing, journey mapping, competitive analysis, and behavioral analysis, translating findings into clear product recommendations and prioritized opportunities. The work may also include improving navigation, event discovery, checkout, conversion, retention, and overall product usability.
Beyond the initial audit, the engagement may expand into UX strategy, product discovery, user research, UX design, and the development of the client’s upcoming mobile application. You will work closely with designers and developers to translate research and product recommendations into practical user flows, wireframes, product requirements, and scalable UX solutions.
The role requires someone who can operate beyond UI execution — someone who can challenge assumptions, connect user needs with business objectives, prioritize opportunities, and turn ambiguous product problems into clear, actionable solutions.
The hiring process begins with a conversation with the client’s leadership team to discuss your experience, product/UX approach, relevant projects, and mutual expectations.
Candidates may then complete a short practical UX/product exercise designed to reflect the type of product audit, customer-journey analysis, and prioritization work involved in the engagement.
For a project-based consultant engagement, the work will be based on agreed scope, hours, deliverables, and pricing structure. You are expected to provide your own laptop and basic equipment, maintain reliable connectivity and a secure working environment, and follow required security controls, including two-factor authentication.
Industry note: Experience in ticketing, events, marketplaces, e-commerce, travel, entertainment, SaaS, or other high-growth consumer products is advantageous. Experience designing for Arabic RTL and English LTR environments is also a plus.
