Where you’ll work:

At OVO, we understand that a one size fits all approach doesn’t work for everyone. That’s why we created the OVO Way of Flexibility.

All our roles are hub based (Bristol, Glasgow or London), providing a dedicated space for collaboration, connection and teamwork. You’ll also have the flexibility to work from home.

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:

The UX team are the DNA that exists to connect our customers, business and brand. We play a pivotal role in helping and supporting our customers on our Zero Carbon journey by crafting experiences that power the movement today and lead the path to the future. 

This role in a nutshell:

As a Senior Experience Designer, you will be responsible for crafting customer experiences that empower them to take control of their home energy and reduce their carbon footprint.

Your key outcomes will be:

• Define the vision for new and existing product experiences across our web and app touchpoints.
• Elevate and maintain visual consistency across OVO's mobile and web experiences.
• Contribute to the development of OVO’s design system by crafting new UI patterns, components, and interaction paradigms. You know when to push the limits and how to balance brand and usability.
• Collaborate with other designers to facilitate workshops and design sprints.
• Partner with UX Research to prototype, develop and test user experiences.
• Work with Product Managers to define how the product works and looks like in future iterations.
• Work closely with Engineers to build and ship your ideas with pixel-perfect accuracy.
• Use a variety of tools for sketching, collaborating, prototyping, and communicating design. We love Figma and Miro!
• Take an agile and lean approach to software development, shipping fast and often.

You’ll be a successful Senior Product Designer here at OVO if you…

• Customer-obsessed, using data and research to advise and validate design decisions.
• Obsessed about the details, whilst having a birds eye view of how everything connects.
• A brilliant communicator - you can explain and rationalize the reasons for your design decisions and can give and receive constructive feedback.
• Experienced in crafting for mobile devices and with a strong portfolio of projects showing your interaction and visual design skills.
• Proficient in mobile best practices and know when to reuse existing patterns versus going custom. And importantly, you know chips, toasts, and snack bars are more than just tasty treats!

You won’t like this role if you…

• Are uncomfortable with ambiguity, change, and managing conflicting priorities.
• Don't relish engaging in the entire end-to-end UX practice.
• Don't possess an affinity for visual design.
• Prefer working in isolation rather than collaborating with cross-functional teams.
