3. Prepare, present, and refine wireframes based on internal and stakeholder feedback.
4. Identify and troubleshoot UX issues using data, user behavior, and research tools; adjust layouts based on feedback.
5. Ensure accessibility and design standards, maintain the Lovehoney UI design system, and review websites to identify issues and measure new features’ performance.

What you should bring

1. Experience as a UI/UX Designer or similar role, with a portfolio showcasing UX and UI work (experience with ecommerce sites is a plus).
2. Proficiency in wireframing and design tools (Figma, Framer, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop).
3. Strong team spirit and excellent communication skills for collaboration.
4. Good time-management skills and attention to detail.

Advantageous, but not essential:

1. Qualification in Design, Computer Science, or related field.
2. Knowledge of user research and rapid testing tools (e.g., Infomizely).
3. Understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG).
4. Basic knowledge of frontend coding (HTML, CSS, JS).

What we can offer you

1. A competitive salary reflecting your skills and experience.
2. Comprehensive pension scheme for your financial security.
3. Health cash plan and gym discounts (£15/month contribution).
4. Staff discounts and an annual bonus scheme.
