Birmingham, United Kingdom ADLIB Recruitment | B Corp™ Full time
  • Join a sustainability focussed not-for-profit.
  • Work on complex, interesting projects that have real world impact in the energy sector.
  • Enjoy flexibility and hybrid working, a bonus scheme, 28 days holiday (+BH) and more.

A leading organisation in the Net Zero space is seeking a Design Manager to run the UX and design function and deliver low carbon energy services. By supporting innovators to commercialise and deliver the future of energy in the UK, this team is accelerating our progress towards a greener future, and you could be a part of it.

What you’ll be doing

Leading a small team of practitioners in UX Design and Service Design, you will be working alongside a research and insights team focusing on products and services in the low-carbon space. You will be working alongside stakeholders internally and externally, so will be well-versed in building relationships and working with practitioners across varied disciplines.

Your role will be multidisciplinary, spanning management, design leadership and strategy, and supporting hands-on with design and research work. Alongside mentoring and educating your own team in the design space, you will be advocating for and improving design processes more broadly to push the organisation forward.

The successful candidate will require a mix of big picture thinking and being able to focus on improving design work through long-term projects, alongside supporting on delivering shorter-term projects in your day-to-day work. Having strong experience in a UX-mature environment (either agency or in-house) is essential.

This is an exciting role for someone that wants to have a positive impact on the climate and on people’s lives through their work.

What experience you’ll need

  • Experience leading design thinking and strategy within a UX mature environment.
  • Management abilities, and willingness to mentor other designers.
  • Strong background in UX and Design disciplines, and willingness to support on Design and Research projects.
  • Strong relationship builder, and excellent at working with clients.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Ideally, some experience in securing revenue with public or private sector clients for design and research projects.

What you’ll get in return

As well as joining a team on a mission you can really believe in, you’ll enjoy flexible working, 28 days holiday (+bank holidays), bonus scheme, an enhanced pension scheme, generous maternity and paternity and more. This is a hybrid working role with one day per week working from a modern Birmingham office.

What’s next

Please apply with an up-to-date CV to be considered. If you have any case studies or projects to share too, please do.
