The Role

We’re looking for a Junior UX/Product Designer to join our growing team and help shape a wide range of digital experiences—from ecommerce/finance platforms to B2B management tools in the automotive industry.

If you're passionate about creating intuitive, user-centred designs and eager to grow your skills in a collaborative environment, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do
• Design clean, intuitive user interfaces across web and mobile platforms.
• Collaborate with other designers to maintain consistency across our product suite.
• Work closely with product owners and developers to bring ideas to life.
• Conduct user interviews and facilitate research to uncover user needs.
• Run usability testing (remote, in-lab, guerrilla) to validate and refine design decisions.
• Use data (qual/quant) to identify issues and opportunities.
• Work with our data team to measure the impact of your designs, iterate, and improve.
• Present and explain your design choices clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
What We’re Looking For
• A degree in Design, Communication, Psychology, Cognitive Science, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
• A solid understanding of UX and interaction design principles (you know the rules and when to break them).
• Proficiency with design and prototyping tools (we currently use Figma).
• Ability to wireframe, prototype, and iterate quickly.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills — you're a team player and a clear thinker.
• Detail-oriented with the ability to QA your own work for pixel-perfection
• A portfolio that showcases a few well-executed projects, ideally with insights into your design process.
• Bonus: Fluency in German, French, Italian, or Spanish is a welcome plus (but not essential).

Why Join Us?
• Work on real-world problems that impact thousands of users.
• Be part of a supportive, cross-functional team that values experimentation and learning (we are a learning organisation, the principle is Try, fail, try again and fail better).
• Learn from experienced designers, researchers, and engineers.
• Opportunities to grow your skills and shape your career path.

...And the benefits?
We’re committed to creating a workplace where you can thrive — professionally and personally. Here’s what you can expect when you join us:
• Kaizen Time
Every Friday afternoon is dedicated to personal development — time for you to explore new tools, take a course, or work on side projects that help you (and the business) grow.

Learning & Development
Access to learning platforms such as LinkedIn Learning, plus support for further training or certifications relevant to your role.

• Health & Wellbeing
o Private health plan
o One paid Mental Health Day per year
o Cycle to Work scheme
o Access to wellbeing resources and support

Time Off & Flexibility
o Flexible working hours — you can flex up to 4 hours per week and make them up the following week
o Extra day off for your birthday
o One paid Volunteer Day per year
o Option to buy additional annual leave

Financial Benefits
o Workplace pension scheme with employer contributions in line with UK requirements

We’re excited to see what you can bring to the team!
