You’ll work with product owners, insight and data analysts, UX designers, and developers, to explore and qualify your hypothesis and ideas.
You will lead and coach the team on user experience design principles, methods, and approach, and embed that practice as a core way of working to innovate.
We're looking for a creative and proactive team member who is passionate about customer-oriented innovation, that is feasible and commercially viable, practicing user experience design principles, applying lean UX and rapid prototyping techniques, and developing new products and services.
You are a User Experience Designer who is confident working in a fast-paced environment and within multi-disciplinary teams. You should be a quick and curious learner who is able to build capabilities around UX design, and design mind-set.
You are confident in practicing design thinking and can move from design thinking to design doing simultaneously.

- Analyse and synthesise quantitative and qualitative insights from customers, the business, brand, and externally [competitor, market, etc.].
- Plan, run and manage customer research, interviews, tests, field experiments, etc. to clarify a hypothesis, then measure, analyse and synthesise the results.
- Create scrappy low-fidelity UX design artefacts to test, and quality high-fidelity UX design artefacts to execute and release.
- Steer the team towards a unifying vision for any given new idea / bet and help develop consensus between stakeholders and independent entities.
- Build a close relationship with the cross-functional team to ensure the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and the team can achieve impact.
- Collaborate deeply with the insight and data leads, to explore and leverage both qualitative and quantitative work.
- Support the Product Owner with qualitative insights, commentary, and options in the quest to validate new ideas / bets.
- Coach and drive continuous improvement of UX design, lean UX and innovation methodologies to ensure teams deliver high quality work as efficiently as possible.
- Foster a culture of questioning, testing, collaboration, feedback, continuous improvement, and support.
- Articulate and evidence decisions in context to level of risk, complexity, and impact.

- Knowledge of UX, service design, design thinking techniques and digital practices.
- Experience of design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, Invision, Framer, etc.
