We are seeking a talented Digital UX Researcher (Web & App) to join our Digital Go-To-Market team at E.ON Next. This is a 12-month fixed-term contract, based in London with hybrid working, reporting to the Product Design Lead. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our digital experiences, ensuring every design decision is informed by rich, user-centred insights.
This role is perfect for a midweight to senior researcher who thrives in fast-moving, start-up-like environments. We’re looking for someone self-motivated, hands‑on and adaptable, with the ability to turn user research into actionable insights that directly influence product design and strategy. Experience in utilities or service-based sectors is a plus, but your agility, curiosity and ability to work across teams are what will make you shine.
Here’s a taste of what you’ll be doing:
* Plan, execute and iterate UX research across web and app platforms, using qualitative and quantitative methods such as interviews, usability studies, surveys, contextual inquiries and A/B tests

* Facilitate user testing sessions, in‑depth interviews and internal workshops to deeply understand user needs and behaviours
* Collaborate closely with designers, product managers and engineers to integrate research findings seamlessly into product development
* Maintain and refine user personas, journey maps and other research artefacts to guide design strategy
* Contribute to prototyping efforts, applying research insights to improve UX and UI experiences
* Monitor market trends, competitor activities and emerging UX practices to inform research approaches and recommendations
* Engage in agile/scrum processes, providing timely research inputs and updates to guide product development
Are we the perfect match?
* Proven experience in UX research, ideally in fast‑paced or start‑up environments
* Demonstrable ability to manage end‑to‑end research projects independently
* Strong portfolio showcasing actionable insights and impactful recommendations
* Excellent communication and influencing skills to present research findings to stakeholders
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field, complemented by hands‑on experience
* Comfortable working across multiple teams and balancing competing priorities
It would be great if you had:
* Experience in utility, service‑based, or regulated industries
* Familiarity with both qualitative and quantitative research methods and tools
* Experience contributing to product strategy and design workshops
* Knowledge of accessibility standards and inclusive design principles
* Confidence in working with prototyping tools and integrating research into iterative design processes
