Opportunity
We’re looking for a creative, human‑centered Designer to bring Octopus to life in the UK. You’ll shape UX, tone of voice, persuasion and reassurance—making complex concepts simple and building solutions that work for real people. You may come from an agency or start‑up, but you’re open‑minded and eager to take on transformative projects.
Beyond design, we thrive on autonomy, curiosity and relentless improvement. You’ll chart your own journey, working closely with developers and a supportive team, without a curated brief or account managers.
What you’ll do
* Collaborate with a talented, diverse team to deliver products and campaigns to market in record time.
* Work with developers to bring your designs to life, ensuring they are functional in the real world.
* Conduct first‑hand research and speak with real users to understand their needs, wants and context.
What you’ll need
* Proficiency in graphic design and interactive tools such as Figma, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
* Experience with UX, user interface design, design systems and graphic illustration.
* Knowledge of customer experience, behavioural science and marketing principles.
* Understanding of design principles, user experience and user interface design.
* Strong initiative, ability to dive into any design project and a love for challenge.
* Capacity to work in a fast‑paced environment and willingness to learn.
* Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias for action and a track record of rolling up your sleeves.
* Excellent collaboration and communication skills, leaving ego at the door.
* Interest in sustainability, green energy and improving people’s lives.
* Bonus: ability to animate with After Effects, SVGator or similar.
To thrive in this role
* Work efficiently without sacrificing quality.
* Adaptability and generalist mindset, able to tackle tasks outside your core role.
* Deep curiosity about how people interact with technology and creating friction‑free experiences.
* User‑centric design focus that prioritises users’ needs while delivering functional and visually appealing products.
* Obsessive improvement—constant iteration based on user feedback.
* Passion for self‑progression and independent skill development.
Why you’ll love it here
* Salary discussions are open and flexible; we discuss pay during the interview to match your experience.
* Unique culture with autonomy, rapid decision‑making and a focus on breaking new ground.
* Recognised as a top employer: UK’s top company to work for, top ten Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024, and top ten for senior leadership.
* Enjoy perks through our UK perks hub.
