Job description

UX/UI Designer - Major Logistics Group

Hybrid working - London

(9-Month Fixed-term Contract)

Fantastic opportunity for a UI Designer to join the centralised Digital Product function within a major logistics group. Senior role involving UI design relating to a large and high-profile digital retail platform across both web and mobile.

As UI Designer working as a key member of a small UX/UI team (wider team of 35), and reporting directly to the Head of Product, you will have significant creative freedom to express yourself and will play a key role in setting design standards across the platform. It's a great opportunity for someone to take the next step in their career to work on a customer-facing retail platform within a global organisation going from strength-to-strength.

Responsibilities will be broad and varied, including:

1. Full ownership and creative freedom, setting the standard for UI and UX digital design (the focus of the role is very much UI design).
2. Managing all UI changes to the platform.
3. Working with the Product team to deliver a great retail experience for the customer.
4. Working with development teams (outsourced) to bring your designs to life.
5. Use customer research to support designs.
6. Map customer journeys and pain points to meet customer needs.
7. Usability testing.
8. Focus on continuous improvement and innovation.
9. Work closely with branding teams on design for ad-hoc social media posts, email templates for campaigns.

Experience and skills criteria:

1. Solid experience as a UI designer; we're looking for a highly creative individual who is doing the design rather than outsourcing to other team members or externally.
2. Experience working across both web and app (both IOS and Android).
3. Efficient and able to work under pressure.
4. Ability to work autonomously and problem solve.
5. Good communication and interpersonal skills.
