This role in a nutshell:

We’re seeking a product designer to join our UX team. As a product designer, you will be responsible for designing customer experiences that empower customers to take control of their home energy and reduce their carbon footprint.

Your key outcomes will be:

• Collaborate with product managers to define the vision for new and existing product experiences across our web and app touchpoints.
• Contribute to and maintain visual consistency across OVO's mobile and web experiences.
• Contribute to the development of OVO’s design system by creating and refining UI patterns, components, and interaction paradigms.
• Participate in workshops and design sprints, supporting senior designers.
• Partner with UX Research to create research plans, and test user experiences.
• Work with Product Managers to help define how the product works and looks in future iterations.
