Hybrid working
The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.
Your role
* Work alongside senior designers to deliver impact for our clients through design
* Support the delivery of new products, services, capabilities and systems from a design standpoint at pace, from "problem to pilot"
* Work within multi-disciplinary teams to design, prototype and build cutting-edge solutions and future concepts
* Share your work directly with clients in ways that generate curiosity and a desire to apply innovation
* Deliver quality design work, from performing research to high quality and well refined UX/UI, using collaboration tools like Figma and inspire clients towards design standards and systems
* Support the facilitation of workshops, brainstorming sessions, experiments & design sprints with internal design team members or with clients to define design direction
* Conduct user research and interviews, create user journeys and personas to uncover customer insights

* A bias for action, creating proof points to drive tangible experiments, prototypes or solutions
* Passion for UX design and eagerness and ability to share expertise and bounce ideas with other creative people
* Solid grasp of the design process from research and human-centred design practices through to creating high-fidelity UX/UI and prototypes in modern design tools
* Experience in inclusive design is a plus, ideally an awareness/understanding of emerging technologies such as AI, IoT, Mixed Reality
