UX Designer - Customer - In-Store Tills

We’re looking for a resourceful, imaginative and bold Midweight UX Designer to join our multidisciplinary team!

As a Midweight UX Designer at the UK’s largest supermarket, you'll be crafting 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 understand business objectives and user expectations, assisting in crafting design solutions that surpass 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.

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 hardworking team consisting of individuals from a diverse set of backgrounds who share your determination and motivation. 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.
