Senior UX Designer - Customer - Inspire to Choose

We’re looking for a passionate, curious and driven Senior UX Designer to join our multidisciplinary team.

As a UX designer at the UK’s largest supermarket, you’ll be crafting experiences that help millions of people shop better. You’ll discover new opportunities, crafting intuitive and effortless solutions that improve every stage of a customer’s shopping journey. You’ll weigh business goals with user expectations, creating design solutions that exceed both. And you’ll know how to experiment quickly, get back up, and try again.

Audiences don't get bigger or more diverse than this. So, you’ll really need to know your onions. That includes a big appetite for human-centred design, customer research 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 using one, whether it's just a pinch to improve a prototype or a big dollop to shape a whole user journey.

Here’s a taste of 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 part of a dedicated team consisting of individuals from a diverse set of backgrounds who share your determination and ambition. 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.
