We’re looking for someone who can help to inform the strategy and design process by driving success through user insights on needs, goals and motivations. You are a highly skilled practitioner with a passion and grounding in the UX design process.

Why we are hiring

We are embarking on a phase of significant internal positive change at Zoocha, building out our creative, strategic, and experience capabilities to complement our industry-leading Drupal design and build offering.

Your remit

We’re looking for a real team player who’s able to work collaboratively with our Experience and Development team, to design a wide range of audience-centred experiences, including websites, native mobile apps, and across global design systems.

• Exceptional UX design-craft paired with a strategic, consultative mindset
• Ability to take a project from a brief, translating problems into practical solutions
• Proficient at creating UX/ CX deliverables such as wireframes, prototypes, journey/ experience maps, user flows, personas, information architecture etc
• You must have a strong UX process, with an ability to create high level concepts through to prototypes, testing and UI handover
• You must be comfortable engaging senior client stakeholders, leading/ facilitating client workshops & co-design sessions to get buy in and progressing through to the final product
• Ability to conduct primary and/or secondary research, as well as quick rounds of usability tests
• Experience creating user stories and product backlogs
• Experience of designing and facilitating workshops
• A good commercial awareness, helping ensure work is delivered on time within budget
• Great communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts easily to people from other disciplines and backgrounds
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to think creatively and strategically
• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including developers, marketers, and product managers
• Knowledge of accessibility standards and best practices
• Strong portfolio of design projects

Nice-to-have experience:

• Experience of designing mobile apps (iOS and Android)
• Experience of interpreting data (e.g. GA4, Hotjar)

Mandatory requirements:

• Based in the UK, ideally within regular commuting distance of our Hertford office.
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken, is essential.
• You’ll need to provide a link to a portfolio; unfortunately, applications without one won’t be considered.
• You must have a valid visa or work permit.
• No recruiters please - your application will be disregarded.
