We are looking for an ambitious Midweight UI Designer who consistently displays attention to detail and is prepared to become a core member of our multidisciplinary team.

As a Midweight UI Designer at the UK’s largest supermarket, you’ll be bringing to life experiences that help millions of people shop better. You’ll work on new opportunities, crafting intuitive and pixel‑perfect solutions that improve every stage of a customer’s shopping journey. And you’ll iterate, test, learn and grow as a designer.

Audiences don't get bigger or more diverse than this. We have 11 million active app users and over 1 million online grocery orders a week. So, you’ll really need to know your onions. That includes a big appetite for innovative interaction design, prototyping and testing, and data and analytics.

Collaboration mixed with expertise and insight is the recipe for successful design. So, you’ll be working with some of the finest UX and UI designers, researchers, UX writers, service designers, data and analytics experts, product managers and developers.

Our secret ingredient is our Digital Design System. So, you’ll need experience good using one, whether it's just a pinch to improve a prototype or a big dollop to shape a whole user journey.

What you can expect

You’ll join a business that values your expertise, experience and insight. That nurtures your personal and career growth, with opportunities for every stage of your journey. You'll be a crucial member of a hardworking team comprising individuals from a diverse set of backgrounds who share your determination and motivation. You'll enjoy a hybrid role that creates the perfect work/life balance, helping you be who you are both professionally and personally. And a benefits package that’s more than competitive.

Responsibilities

• Design the UI for large and small multi‑platform projects, redefining complicated experiences into simple and intuitive UI solutions.
• Contribute to end‑to‑end UI process activities including interaction design discovery, sketching, wire‑framing, prototyping and delivering ready for build design files.
• Work together with different teams, closely collaborating with UX designers, researchers, UX writers, engineers, product managers, data analysts, and business partners to explore, build and deliver designs.
• Champion human‑centred design inside and outside of your team.
• Work within and across agile squads to design, develop and improve the customer experience across our digital products.
• Partner with UX researchers to help your team develop empathy for our customers, including those with a disability, and advocate for their needs, validating designs via A/B testing, un‑moderated, usability testing.
• Work closely with engineering teams to understand feasibility of design ideas and ensure review of design implementation at key stages of the development cycle.
• Partner with the analytics team to help advise your work.
• Help facilitate workshops, running effective conceptualisation and participatory design sessions.
• Promote inclusive design practices and deliver accessible designs.
• Deliver valuable, high‑quality, and consistent work without sacrificing speed by using our Digital Design System and its standardised foundations, components and patterns.
• Collaborate with the design system team to help evolve our Digital Design System based on user needs.
• Help other fields understand the value design can bring to a project to build the best products.
• Continuously seek to improve design processes inside and outside of your team to gain efficiency, remove obstacles, and simplify workflows.
• Provide feedback to other designers to help strengthen your team and Tesco as a whole.
• Help your team mates build expertise, strong decision‑making skills, and empathy for our customers.
• Work with the Design Manager to cultivate a positive, supportive, and inclusive team culture.
