That’s why, for over 100 years, we’ve continued to evolve and adapt.

As a Digital Content Designer, you’ll join our exciting journey to fulfil our future vision. We aim to support the UK’s 17m drivers and to facilitate their driving lives through data and innovation; to succeed with this, we require a step-change in pace and thinking. Join us as we transform and deliver on this ambitious vision.

**This is the job**:
Reporting directly to the Digital Experience Design Lead, you will work alongside, and collaborate with, other talented designers, editors, product owners and developers to deliver an excellent customer experience.

You’ll play a key role in designing the user experience of our apps, working end-to-end from product discovery right through to solution design.

You’ll be fully conversant in mobile app design patterns and guidelines across IOS and Android, understanding how to make the most of the native capabilities to deliver engaging experiences. You will also have a solid understanding of the role of web and apps and create coherent experiences across channels.

You will need to be a positive self-starter and a customer advocate who is always keen to understand customer needs and behaviour. You will need to test and validate the experiences you design and can call on a variety of methods to do so - including analytics, split-testing, remote user testing, call listening, customer feedback and lab studies. Your portfolio of outstanding design work must demonstrate this iterative, user centred approach to continuous improvement.

We are investing significantly in our digital portfolio, and you will play a key role in transforming our digital customer journeys. You will join a growing team of talented designers and editors, working in a central London location. This role is a great opportunity to be involved in defining the future of a truly innovative, market-leading product and delivering a great experience for our customers.
