Job description

The Opportunity
This is a fantastic opportunity to join our E-commerce UX & Delivery team within one of the most exciting retail businesses in the UK. You will contribute to the delivery of our ambitious digital roadmap while helping to optimise experiences through our iterative experimentation programme. You'll collaborate closely with a well-established UX and technical delivery team, including UX researchers, designers, developers, data analysts, and programme managers—all working in a fast-paced agile environment.

The Team
The UX team is a tight-knit, agile group responsible for a wide range of digital touchpoints across the business. We work closely together to support long-term digital delivery plans, CRO strategies, and daily BAU activities. While we collaborate regularly, each team member also works independently with strong communication skills and a shared commitment to design excellence.

About You
You are a driven individual with a keen eye for detail and a passion for UX best practices. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are comfortable managing projects from initial concept through to developer handover. You enjoy tackling complex UX problems, while also being excited by more creative challenges—such as crafting engaging landing pages or seasonal campaign experiences.

What you will do:

• You will demonstrate exceptional understanding of e-commerce best practices, responsive design, and digital technologies.
• You will design for both web and app within an e-commerce environment.
• You will create low-fidelity wireframes and prototypes, with the technical understanding to support UX delivery.
• You will transform wireframes into high-fidelity, creative design solutions.
• You will optimise the full e-commerce journey, including landing pages, navigation, search, product templates, and checkout.
• You will design across multiple brands, delivering best-in-class experiences.
• You will collaborate with insights and data teams to identify user behaviours and opportunities.
• You will contribute to a range of projects—from iterative testing and personalisation to large-scale digital transformation.
• You will champion brand consistency, innovation, and customer-first design thinking.
• You will present and communicate design solutions effectively to cross-functional teams.
• You will work at pace, balancing multiple priorities and shifting demands.
• You will collaborate with other UX designers to maintain consistency and encourage knowledge sharing.
• You will work closely with developers to ensure accurate implementation of designs.

Skills you will need:

• 3+ years’ experience in a similar UX design role.
• Strong proficiency in Figma.
• Deep understanding of e-commerce and retail trading environments.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating creative execution, wireframing, and prototyping.
• Experience in using data and insights to inform design decisions.
• Skilled in Adobe Creative Suite.
• Experience collaborating with UX researchers and/or insights teams.
• Analytical and commercially minded.
• Confident in recommending and communicating ideas.
• Agile and responsive to business data or trading needs.
• Highly collaborative, with the ability to work independently when required.

Why Footasylum?
We are one of the leading omni-channel retailers across the UK, but more than that we are a brilliant place to work. We value you and your development. We have loads of examples of people moving upwards, across to other departments and given training to excel their personal and professional skills. Our aim is to create a fun environment, where your success is paramount to ours and you are given the right tools, support and platform to achieve your goals.

Diversity
We recognise and value the importance of diversity to help make sure we have lots of different perspectives when we are building services to customers and the wider business. This is great news for our business. Diversity for us is also, importantly, about building happy teams full of people that want to learn and want to be inspired by each other and our different experiences and backgrounds.

Recruitment Process
We review applications on an individual basis, and if we feel you would be a good fit we’ll invite you for a call or Teams video for an informal chat about the role, and to see if we’re a good fit for you.

We value open and honest conversations and collaboration, giving you a chance to learn about what we are doing in an informal and friendly environment. We want to know about you and why you feel that this is the opportunity for you.

Please note, this is not a remote role, and our expectation is that you will be able to attend Head Office in a hybrid way, in Rochdale.
