Senior UI Designer - Customer

We’re looking for a passionate, skilled and bold Senior UI Designer to join our

multidisciplinary team!

As a Senior UI Designer at the UK’s largest supermarket, you’ll be crafting

experiences that help millions of people shop better. You’ll discover new

opportunities, creating intuitive and effective solutions that improve every stage of a

customer’s shopping journey. You’ll balance business objectives with user

expectations, crafting design solutions that exceed both. And you’ll know how to fail

fast, 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 innovative interaction design,

prototyping and testing, 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 true expertise

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 full of individuals from various

backgrounds who 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.
