UX Designer

About the role
**We’re looking for a resourceful, imaginative and ambitious UX Designer to join our multidisciplinary team.**

As a Midweight UX Designer at the UK’s largest supermarket, you’ll be shaping experiences that help millions of people shop better. You’ll help discover new opportunities, contributing to the intuitive and effortless solutions that improve every stage of a customer’s shopping journey. You’ll get to know business goals and user expectations, helping create design solutions that exceed both. And you’ll become an expert in testing, iterating and improving what you do and how you do it.

Audiences don't get bigger or more diverse than this. We have 11 million active app users and over 1 million online grocery orders a week. So, you’ll really need to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. You'll need 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 some 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 talented team full of people from all backgrounds that share your drive 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.
